- Today I tried to see if I could make vegan fried chicken from grapefruit peels! I came across a video from Sauce Stache & other people online making chicken from grapefruit peels and noticed they were all using eggs or milk. So I wanted to test out to see if I could make this Vegan! Let me know in the comment section what hack you want me to test next :)

I've experimented with this to death and here's what i learned:
1. Marinade will not get rid of the bitter taste, no matter how long you soak it.
2. To get rid of the bitter taste, it's a bit of a strenuous process. You will have to bring water to a boil, then blanch the piths for about 15 minutes, then drain the water, and squeeze almost all the water out of the pith (without squishing it) and repeat at least 4 times or until the pith is no longer extremely bitter.
3. With the blanching process, you will have to be very careful not to over cook it, or else the texture will become literal mush. What you could try (don't remember if i did this or not) is only blanching the pith once so it becomes absorbent like a sponge, then soak them in cool water, and do the process like the blanching method without risking over cooking.
4. The flavor is in the marinade. The only flavor the pith provides is grapefruit. Once you're done removing the bitterness, soak the piths in a delicious marinade. At this point, the piths will be very absorbent, so make sure you squeeze out enough marinade, so that you don't have soggy fried pieces. I suggest squezzing until almost dry, otherwise the frying experience with be horrible, and you'll gry soggy pieces.
Hopefully you see this comment and you try my suggestions. I'd love to see a video of it! 😊
not all heroes wear capes!
@@nyxnightlinger7719 lol, I don't crave chicken. I haven't in 6 years. I just like to experiment with food, and i wanted to find a way to make it work. And yes it is a lot of work, which is why i don't do this anymore unless i happen to have a lot of grapefruits and time. I simply love to cook.
@Kieran Jones i was sharing tips on how to make it palatable. I don't crave chicken. If i eat vegan chicken, it's because it's convenient, and I'm too lazy to cook.
I've been vegan for almost 5 years. I recently had blood work done and the only issue i had was low vitamin D which is expected, since I'm African American. I also had high cholesterol which seems impossible as a vegan, but it's genetic. My dad has it, and so did his dad.
But I've been vegan too long to worry about the anti vegan speech. Eat meat if you desire, I don't care. I just ask you respect my decisions as well.
This is so helpful! Thank you!!!!!
Kieran Jones why kill aware beings when you don't need to?
This is a recipe that Julien Solomita should try too 🙂
@Amanda Huganquiss Hello 🙂
@Amanda Huganquiss 🤗
Yes
i’d rather save time and just dip bread in bbq sauce 😭
Thats just sad dude
mari_who_ana what you don’t do that?? weirdo
Lona Adams Randomness u get it
WAIT ! As i was very small, (in the kinder garden!), my teacher was a black woman from the Caribbean.
One day i tried ti peel my orange or my grapefruit, because i had a lot of white skin left on it.
She told me to let that one the fruit, because it is very healthy. I asked her for what it is healthy (i had obviously already interest on food science at this young age... =) ).
But she just said, "Oh, it's difficult to explane, but it is specially good for women."
I didn't forget it, but i didn't take the time to research.
Maybe it is somehow true.
saba light i’m sure it has health benefits but not enough nutritional value to make a meal out of it, especially when fried lol. i’d stick to the chickpeas 😝
If I bit into a chicken nugget and it was grapefruit skin, someone is dying
Lmao
Me 2
But the chicken didn't.
🤣
i think you miss the point when you say "somebody else ate it." of course someone did, but if enough people stand up and say we dont want it, then they're forced to make less, which is exactly what most of us are fighting for.
As a fellow Cuban no one is making this as a street food in Cuba
It was never a street food
The lady in the video never claimed it was a street food either
It was food in a time of famine in the 90's
This was made in Cuba when meat was not available
@@justiniantbh she does 1:12
@@gabrielai2299 shit you right, my bad
I doubt you were alive when it was common in cuba
@@KKK-ft6ct she claimed it was still common as street food, which it's not
This vid demands a second attempt where you marinate in the no-chicken bullion! Standing by for that;)
Josie's Journey YES PLEASE!! This looks like it could be something
Should have just cut the grapefruit into quarters and peel the skin off like you would do orange slices
I said the same thing on Sauce Stache's vid lol
fuzzles93 great minds 🧠
I just understand how they can't figure this out I'm amazed
Try cutting grapefruit this way. Cut in half. Each half: use serrated knife to cut half inch spiral at angle to 'core' until only 'core' is left. You should end up with long torqued strip. Looks like shark's teeth. Pull it out straight and cut into about 1.5 to 2 inch sections. Bite the flesh off down to the pith. Don't bother with sectioning each bite. Kids may enjoy this more than you! Then, for your use only, rinse the peel, freeze and accumulate with other citrus peel. Use in Vitamix smoothies with frozen bananas, protein powder, any spare fruit and frozen watermelon rind, dairy or plant milk, maybe cocoa and vanilla.I also freeze into cubes as a treat.
I feel like I wouldn't serve this as an entree, but it could be a fun snack with a dip. It didn't seem too hard to make. The best way to cut bitterness is with salt, so marinating in something salty would probably help a lot.
I believe the official name is GRICKEN!
Mental illness on video tbh. A bit worrying...
Mic! 😀🌱
LOL!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
I feel.like the grapefruit peel is just a place to hold batter.. and thats it. Just about the breading not about the peel.. if that makes sense
Plantbasedyota probably adds texture too
And calories during a food shortage.
Yes
The point with this dish is that it's food for times when there really wasn't any, and people start eating grapefruit pith and banana peels, fried and spiced up to give the feeling that you are actually eating "real food". Now, there's also quite a lot of nutrients and fibers in grapefruit pith, so it's not just an illusion, it will keep the hunger away, too.
I still can not imagine the bitterest part of a grapefruit, replace the taste of poultry meat ....
You can unlock that ability when you're a Level 3 Vegan.
It doesn't. People are talking about how it looks.
Yeah it does not! So dissapointing
Which Food should I Flip vegan next?🌱 Your suggestion might be the next episode!

Edgy Veg how about turkey?
a BBQ rib of some kind..
I saw this on Emmy's channel, where she does videos about food that was eaten in times of scarcity.
I love Emmy ☺️

Exactly. Emmy did this last year

Kieran Jones real chicken causes cancer so no ma’am :)
@@mikerob3339 your frying pan, any shower gel, body wash can help cause cancer to so thats irrelevant
@Kieran Jones Well this is not a substitute for grilled chicken but fried chicken nuggets which is very unhealthy too. If you want a healthy substitute there are several other options too that are way better for the environment and do not cause any suffering
Omg. You put close captions on your videos, thank youuuuu 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I saw this on the sauce stache too and have been wanting to try it!! 🍊🍊🍊
Legit thought you said "the internet is a f**ked place" but realised it was "fun place" 😂😂😂
both true tho 😂
@@marystestkitchen 😂😂😂
@@marystestkitchen 🤣
I mean both are true😂😂
@@EdgyVeg 🤣
Wow. This is amazing! Will definitely have to try this!
I was about to comment people used to do this in cuba when the country went to shit and you mentioned it! Good job for doing you research. But no its not a thing anymore, we dont eat it as a street food
Wow!!! Thank you!!! I am definitely going to try this. Thanks from an Aussie vegan CZcamsr 😁
very interesting recipe. Adding it to a playlist to help me remember to try making it some time
I'm liking that I stumbled across your channel! Not vegan but trying to incorporate more plant-based eating into my life and your curiosity inspires me to take on more recipes!
I’m glad she said they looked like breast implants......because that’s right where my brain went. Thought I might have been alone.
I'm curious to know the nutritional value of this dish.
equivalent to deep frying cardboard
Kieran Jones truth
@@brandonlillibridge8763 LMFOOOOOOO BRUH
Kieran Jones judging from your other comment I wouldn't take this too seriously
Those part of the grapefruit has a lot of fibers ...
Fun fact: jackfruit when cooked has the texture of pulled pork
Young jackfruit that is😉
we do a jackfruit curry in south East Asia. It's yummy! But it definitely smells and taste fairly sweet.
Doesn't taste like it though
UltraPrincessKenny Very true. But it has somewhat the texture of something meat like. I think it’s more about the mouth feel rather than taste. Because, let’s be honest, nothing can replace the real deal. Maybe except for the new impossible burger thing. Haven’t tried it yet but will:)
@@meganaire3003 yeah! I love jackfruit curry
Oh my goodness I wanna try it, so creative and smart
Completely unrelated but your nails look so cute, yellows my fav colour and perfectly fitting for summer 💛
Looks interesting. I would soak it in a mix of no chicken stock and pickle brine like chik fil a does, but no longer than an hour so the acid doesn't change the texture.
Fabio119 you thought you were doing something lol. This is clearly a vegan channel, troll somewhere where you actually make sense
Fabio119 respect peoples lifestyles asshole
@@FABIOof119 lol you sound so branwashed is funny how you are calling us that. Seriously inform yourself and dont be such a defensive asshole. Let people eat wat they want! Are we telling you how to live? We are just existing and sharing interesting and creative stuff. If you cant handle the idea of having other sources of protein stfu and go eat dead things.
Fabio119 why do you non vegans get so pissed when somebody decides not to eat meat
@@FABIOof119 why dont you try to inform yourself on what we are actually supposed to eat? Like literally "your species' natural diet" read a little. No, actually make that a lot because theres so much crap on the subject. Like an anatomically correct diet. Read about how long your intestines are compared to a carnivores and like all of the differenses?? Its so interesting to not be ignorant and brainwashed lol oh i also plan on growing my own food and keep on not killing animals to nourish my body. (Also read om that subject you seem to not know what you are talking about)
im new here and i love this so much lol your personality is wonderful SUBSCRIBED
Tysm for the captions❤️
I love this kind of videos 😍
"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should!"
Jurassic park?
Candice you are stunning!!! Love this video ❤️
This looks amazing omg
This is a whole new take on grapefruiting your man!
how about boiling it first? Might that take the sour taste out?
i used to watch this channel a lot back when i was vegan and i finally started being vegan again and honestly,, so excited to try more recipes! love your channel
Wow, this is really interesting. I need to try it now lol.
Juuulieeeen!! We're waiting!!
This looks so yummy and I would try this one.
You need to peel it more- there were still small spots where you missed and it wasn't completely down to the pith, that's prolly why it had the grapefruit taste and bitterness in some spots
youre straight up GORGEOUS jesus christ!!!
So crazy how much it resembles raw chicken! It was kinda freaking me out lol. Who would’ve thought grapefruit!
This is fascinating. I would just make it as its own 'thing'- and if it sorta kind tasted reminiscent of chicken that's great. A new appetizer and a use for grapefruit peels instead of chucking them in the compost!
It doesn't taste like chicken. It tastes like grapefruit pith. Most people don't eat this if they have anything else to eat. BUT - some people like the bitterness of grapefruit pith, and some people say there's great health benefits in eating it.
The best way to cut any citrus fruit, is to cut the ends off. So I'd first slice the top and bottom of the grapefruit so that it can sit flat on either side. Then I hold the grapefruit in my palm & with a knife I cut anywhere from 5 to 6 slits all the way around. I put the knife down, and with my fingernail, I pull the peel back from the top like a banana peel. And I continue to pull down til I get all around the fruit slits I made. I like to go slow bc I can make a clean pull so that none of the fruit is left on the peel. For this recipe, I'd likely have to shave the waxy outside first and then start my cutting/peeling technique. In any case, this probably wouldn't remove any bitterness from the fruit, but it'd at least eliminate the scooping process so that the prep is less tedious. I'll have to try this recipe & report back.
Yaaasss!!! Love this idea...especially bc I've been to Cuba and I'm obsessed with anything that originated there. They are so resourceful! Even in 2015 when i went they had scarce resources but still made delicious food non the less! I'm going to try to this 🙌
*try to make this
It’s not great. Lol I wouldn’t make it again, and had a hard Time eating more than a few bites haha
@@EdgyVeg Aw just too good to be true I guess lol. Maybe if I ever do try it I'll take your suggestion of marinating it over night.
You know what I'm thinking is to try recipes like this and not so much compare to the meat, but that's because don't have craving for meat since I stopped eating it.. I do love your creations of the meat dishes though, totally the edge.. this dish looks delicious and I'd love to try it sometime in the future 💐💕 thank you Candice
That's just interesting enough for me to give it a try.
When I saw the original video, I literally thought about you doing this recipe... I think I'm psychic;)
I love the grapefruit technique 😄
This is amazing! Also a great way to reduce food waste
Yeah, and you could candy the peel and eat the entire grapefruit.
Yummy!
P.S. love your outfits
Wow the history of the grapefruit peels makes me appreciate it even more!!
my granny had a special serrated spoon for grapefruit and it made it so much easier than a regular spoon lol
WHERE DID YOU GET YOIR OVERALLS !! they are so cute and I’m always looking for a good pair of overalls. Can someone help ?
Thassa apron
Boohoo
I had my mouth open in surprise throughout the duration of this video. AMAZING!!! ~ (Chuckle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
This is a hard times meal is other countries as well. My mom is from Nicaragua and they would eat any form of citrus peal when the crops failed that year. I also grew up eating orange peals done similar to this but in small match stick size. Loved this video!
In America only rich vegans eat this....
Ok. Wasn't expecting these results. Thought this would def be a fail...but WOW.
The Discount Vegan I was shocked as well!
Omg I love this
I don't like how she keeps calling it "flesh" 😂😂😂
loving the pepper pepper pepper reference to ysack at cooking :D
I don’t know if anyone ever mentioned this, but there is a grapefruit spoon that is serrated edge to help remove the innards.
So if you enjoy grapefruit often, it may be a good investment
WHAT! I’m Cuban and I didn’t even know that🧐
I was wondering what the nutritional value is? Great idea! And looks good also ☺
Try lemon pith instead of grapefruit (with the lemons that have that thicker outer peel). Also, can this be airfried or baked instead of deep fried? If so, how long/temp? I would cut into quarters and peel off the pith to simplify the first part of the recipe. Thank you for the idea!
Emmy Made in Japan made this during one of her Hard Times series!
Your hair is so beautiful 💕
Wouldn’t it have easier just to cut into quarters then peel the flesh away??
Do you think that it needs to be deep fried to achieve the right taste and consistency? How about air frying?
Omg, just when I thought I've seen everything! This doesn't quite beat the cabbage Thanksgiving "turkey", but it's pretty "imaginative", lol 😆
I want to try this 😋
What's in (ingredients/can it be made from scratch if l don't have it on hand) the egg replacer?
Can you dehydrate/dry the peels for future use?
This is amazing. Really. It is amazing. I am definately going to do this recipe. I dont think there is much nutrition but it would be a cool thing to take to parties and communal meals. I also like that you mentioned juicing the actual fruit so there is litte waste, which is what I will do as well coz I love that grapefruit hit (I guess if you grate the peel and store for zest there would be no waste). I also liked the history. Yes sad for sure, but what an interesting thing to tell people about at whatever event I take them to. People usually say, "Oh you vegans are always making fake versions of the real things." Now I have a back story that can change the conversation to world politics or poverty or travel or many other things. Loved it tons, you can probably tell. Thank you.
Juuuliaaan!!!
Could you please try this again but marinate it overnight ?! 💜
Hey, Candice. I made your soy curls popcorn chicken last night, AND used the same flour blend for oyster mushrooms today. Soooo good. I think I'm gonna make grapefruit peels these with that method. Have you tried that yet?
The grapefruit peel will leave you disappointed! I promise.
Wonder how this would turn out in either the oven or air fryer as to reduce the amount of oil? 🤔
Candice, you are looking beautiful ❤️ love the video!
ok ok I haven't watched this yet admittedly but got the notification in my email and went: whaaa? This is a thing? *click to watch* So interesting!
Candice Eisner oh really? An email notification? I know many get phone notifications when you click the bell so they know when I upload a new video :)
@@EdgyVeg Yes! I'm not exactly sure what I did to get the emails but I always get a notification in my gmail account of new uploads.
@@EdgyVeg Ok I just figured it out, in case other people want to do this: if you go into settings -> notifications -> look for Channel Subscriptions you can tell it to email you, give you push notifications, or both. So there you go anyone wondering!
I will try this
Can you do this with any other peels for people with allergies to grapefruit?
Her : So make sure you wash your hands
Also her : Which I haven't...
I love her😂👊💖💞💝💘💗
You can buy a grapefruit spoon. It's serrated and cuts the sections into perfect little triangle shapes. :)
You should make vegan versions of Binging with Babish recipes!!
1966Zodiac I would love that
If seasoned and spiced well with spiced will be a substitute...it can be soaked and squeezed out after hours to remove bitter
I had to watch an ad for KFC before I could watch this video 😂
Juuuuuliiieeenaaaaa - we're waiting for you to try this :)
I wonder if boiling it for 20 minutes will help with the bitterness? I do that for tempeh 🤷🏽♀️
Diane Love that might soften it too much, but I wanna try that + marinating
you got BANGS
Your recipe specifies pink or red grapefruits... would this work with yellow grapefruit?
How did you do your nails?? Acrylic? Gel? They're so cute..I want.
I have been wanting to try this since I saw emmymadeinjapan do it. If you have access to pomelos I think that would be a great one to try. They have a lot of pith & grapefruit flavor without the bitterness.
Neat!
People are ingenuous, I would eat this if there was a food shortage.
Love your outfit.
Awesome
What about trying pomelo peel? It's a lot thicker... and you can get way bigger strips.
About the nutritional value: Grapefruit pith is high in fiber, vitamin C, flavonoids hesperidin, diosmin, naringenin, quercetin and kaempferol; this is what gives it the bitter taste. There's copper and potassium there, too, and in pink/red grapefruits there's lycopene.
Preparing method and spices/flavorings add their own values - or remove some of it.
This is the second time I’ve seen this done so weird LOL thank you for doing it you’re so beautiful you are new earth angel
If someone pranked me with this, That would be his or hers last prank and last time they breathe
