Lily's chicken dance revealed some truths about Trevor that he was not prepared to face on the fried chicken episode lmao
...Same.
Lily's chicken dance making Trevor uncomfortable and Vi just enjoying her performance is comedy gold😂
She’s blossomed for sure. Embraced the chaos and pure unadulterated silliness.
MORE LILY!
Lily is just the best.
It did not take long for them to ruin Lily.
@@kevinfager. Watching Lily's first appearance on-camera during the animal nugget episode is such a trip. You can really see how much more confident and self-assured she is now.
Josh saying L’chaim before eating the lard-fried chicken was a subtle joke that was very clever.
Pfft, ty I didn't catch that😂
This isn't the first time 😊
explain i'm dense
@@sitara7664 L’chaim is a Hebrew toast that means “to life”. Chicken fried in lard is decidedly not kosher as Jewish people are not supposed to eat pork products. Both Josh and Nicole are Jewish but both eat pork and shellfish.
@@kenlangston3451 Also, lard isn't exactly healthy
Not gonna lie, Lily's chicken dance was the absolute highlight of the episode.
A sexy dance I must say.
@@thegreatbambi5674bro
@@thegreatbambi5674 what's wrong with you
I laughed so hard I cried!
'thatz a different kinda chicken dance, I dont like it!' it works a little bit just in a different venue. haha!
Lily not knowing the 'normal' chicken dance but committing to it fully was beautiful.
It subverted my expectations so hard that I could only stare in wonder for about 5 seconds before bursting into laughter.
I think we learned a lot about everyone in Mythical Kitchen because of that dance. It was a real learning moment for Trevor, in particular. Lol
They should do a segment at the end of this format where they take all the worst ways and put it up against the winning one. Maybe doing all the steps spectacularly wrong cancels out the negative attributes and magically makes it amazing.
They could even work it into the show as the punishment for the loser
I need to see this.
This idea is good and you should feel good.
If they don't do this I'm in Louisville we can meet up and make this a show together
When they first started this show, I thought they would make every possible variation for this reason
Nicole's analysis and reasoning for AP flour over cornstarch is unmatched.
Yeah, can't believe she got all 4 answers correct this episode for the Queen sweep.
Very concise, I feel educated
A mix of AP flour and corn starch is actually the perfect combination
@mindom that's what they tested. That's what "cut with" means.
This is the top comment and it was staring me in the face the whole time, so I was prepared for Nicole's eloquent response. Very appropriate assessment.
I would love to see y’all bust brownie myths next, especially with Trevor’s baking knowledge!
Ooh, brownie myths would be awesome to see! I feel like there are so many claims about brownies that sometimes seem bogus, so that would be a very helpful episode.
@@secretforreddit Totally! They could do cocoa powder versus melted chocolate, oil versus butter, prepackaged mix versus mixing your own dry ingredients, cakey versus fudgy (though I know that’s more of a preference), etc.! 🙂
Which nut (pecan or walnut) or no nuts?
@@anitaoliver7642 Oooh, absolutely! Good one!
I thought they did that already
V's new haircut is so cute and fluffy! it fits her face so well oh my goodness absolutely adorable
she is looking extra beautiful today for sure!
V is looking gorgeous, I was a little distracted from the chicken and nothing disrtacts me from chicken.
you like her new haircut?? not now chief, she's in the zone
I just love how this show evolved from Josh just showing off his silly cooking in the main channel to him having his own channel for silly cooking!
I wish CZcams still showed thumbs down count
Oof... simp much for thumbs up?
Whoever designed the intro for Myth Munchers deserves an Emmy a Grammy and a Tony.
Give 'em an Oscar, too! EGOT status!
Tony Cs more like
What's wrong with me, I hate it. Perhaps I'm not their target demographic (42 yo Female here)...
OMG I have not laughed so hard at Myth Munchers until Lily did her chicken dance, I was crying!!!!!!
AND I CLAPPED
I'VE NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD UNTIL I DID
Lily's chicken dance was the best part of the whole thing 😂😋🤣
Josh and Trevor being absolutely feral and unhinged will forever give me so much serotonin!
Vi always looks great but she's GLOWING in this one!! This makeup style really suits her oh my goodness 💕💕
Josh: “do a light dusting “
Also Josh: proceeded to dump half the container on the chicken
The great thing about the last round is that it showed you can make a decent gluten free fried chicken when using cornstarch. I'll have to cook a batch for my wife, who is celiac.
there's a GF fried chicken restaurant in Vancouver i went to once... it's too far to go more than once a year or so but it was SO GOOD. it's definitely doable!
It was half flour and half corn starch. Only corn starch wouldn't be as good (but doable obviously)
Agreed. I also have Celiac so we do a GF ap flour and tapioca starch blend (also allergic to soy and corn) and it works magically
@@immaculatesausage938 My partner has tried everything and we preferred 40% rice flour, 40% corn starch and 20% tapioca starch. Tapioca comes thru strong but it's good when subtle at 20%. None of them are good alone.
@@immaculatesausage938 Usually find that a double fry works great for cornstarch
Lily has easily become my favorite mythical kitchen member
lily was kinda killing it in the end u go girl
I really feel they should let the chicken cool long enough to be easily edible. Not only is it a good facimile of fried chicken joints everywhere, but not burning yourself on scalding hot chicken makes comparisons much easier! Also I want fried chicken now.
I was like "where's Nicole, I can hear her laughing at Josh" but then they brought her out to eat second-hand chicken so everything's cool
Lily: *dances*
Me: this better not awaken something in me.
yeah i do not need to feel attracted to chicken at this point in my life
Ah you beat me to it! Oh well, glad somebody said it
Josh is chaos personified
take out the personified. he is chaos. he is the reasoning for chaos. josh is behind all of the earthquakes wars tsunamis and wildfires.
chaos incarnate
I would like to know where Lily learned that chicken dance
LA raves probably lol
It was the mask man
Lily has blossomed into bringing that chaotic Mythical Kitchen energy
having worked at KFC for a time as a cook, we used water to dip the chicken in before breading. originally we used lard to cook everything then switched to vegetable shortening. it goes into a pressure cooker for around 12-15 minutes depending how much is made. we used clamshells with six tiers that would hold 2 legs, 2 wings, 2 ribs, 2 thighs and 1 breast which is a whole cut up chicken per tier. i always made sure the cooker was up to temperature before dropping or you get soggy or raw chicken if you don't (edit : let the chicken drain for a minute before transferring on a rack on a tray and let it sit in the warming cabinet for at least 5-10 minutes before serving to avoid soggy bottom when packed)
Did not have sexy chicken dance on the Mythical Kitchen bingo board of Chaos for today. Lmao
Trevor is so amazing I think the world of him. Josh used his authoritative tone 9:57. Definitely need more of that love when he does that my iconic dynamic duo I’m blessed. We are best friends
Lily officialy going full Josh today is the best 😆. "I got spit on and i lost" lol.
Josh calling out Olivia Sui with the whole "I don't wash my legs" bit
I wish they would just re-film Josh’s segment of the intro every episode, just to see how long it would take him to saw through a log with a kitchen knife
What you use for coating is very regional. Barberton, near where I live, is famous for it’s fried chicken; dredged in bread crumbs and deep-fried (not pan-fried) in lard. Most places just use AP flour but that kind of flour is different between northern and southern states. Northern AP flour has more gluten than it does in southern states which is why southern chicken is crispier. The solution is to cut northern flour with cornstarch; 1-2 tablespoons per cup. Flour from the south doesn’t need cutting to get the same crisp texture.
Lily's chicken dance was a beautiful thing to behold, what Trevor could'nt handle is his loss.
Do an episode on curing cast irons...so many different methods. Which would win?
I love the growth of vi and lily theyve come a long way from that awkward 1st episode
They just recently added the first interest hit of over 1k to the 100k I owe in student debt for a lit degree I didn't even get. If I went to Mythical Kitchen Online University, I would've at least learned how to touch hot things without burning myself or whatever Josh does for fun
I love Trevor so much 😂😂 I laughed like hell when he scream cried while biting into the chicken 🤣 Lily's dance was the best too lol
Came for the Chaos, stayed for the fried chicken. This cooking crew is top tier
My dad's family owned a takeout restaurant and they always fried in lard. This was from the 50s and 70s. It doesn't soak into the food so it's less greasy than oil. (I guess because it can fry hotter and faster.) Dad still uses lard to deep-fry in when they want a junk food meal...all homemade just like the old restaurant.
For Wienerschnitzel (Viennese cutlet), we use clarified butter. I'm really curious about your opinion and would love if you tried that for your fried chickens too.
Clarified butter has a lower smoke point. It will burn before the chicken is cooked through to the bone.
It's fine for something either small or thin like cutlets. But anything thick or boned does better with something like peanut oil, because you're either cooking at higher temp and/or longer times.
@@Vincent_Beers I'm pretty sure that a smoke point of 250°C (485°F) is plenty, considering that you usually deep-fry at around or below 190°C (375°F). It's also considerably higher than the smoke point of lard, which is merely 185°C (370°F)
It also has a higher smoke point than peanut oil.
I guess you must've mixed it up with regular butter, which indeed has a very low smoke point, and definitely wouldn't work for deep-frying.
Have a nice day
I worked at Chick fil A ., their wet was a mix of whole milk and eggs….. I think the best wet would be half gallon buttermilk 2 eggs and 1 egg white.
Was not expecting the "we're just innocent men" reference from Josh and Trevor
If Josh isn’t the biggest himbo, I don’t know what anything is anymore ❤
First of all, Lily is my favorite.. I live for her chaos.. second, Vi and Lily together on one screen is just soooo much pretty, I can hardly stand it 🫠 please do it as often as possible.
OMGOMGOMGOMFG! For some reason I got "in the air tonight" in my head as I started watching the video. I was singing it in my head and I had just gotten done with the drum part, when Trevor did the drum part with the drumsticks! It was just super crazy. Just me?
The cut to Trevor slurping chocolate milk was so unexpected I spat out my drink 😂😂😂
The reason the cornstarch one is good is cause that is exactly what Popeyes do, they cut the flour with cornstarch.
Also, we so rarely see Vi's hair out like that. It looks gorgeous!
I freaking love josh’s facts and intelligent outlook on food. Combined with everyone else’s fun, surface level understanding and interest in what’s going on I actually kinda relate to him. I love knowing the details, the “behind the scenes” of stuff I do, make, play, watch, etc. and he seems to be on that same wavelength. You’re the best Josh!
for crowding the pan, you could also just get your oil about 10-15 degrees hotter before dropping the chicken in
Personally I use mostly flour but then add just a bit of corn starch in because it does help with the crunch. I just think they added too much corn starch to the ap
I loved Nicole's energy at the end. When Josh asked if she consented to eating half eaten chicken.
The best fried chicken I ever ate was my late sister's. She didn't follow any of these rules and I can't replicate her recipe even following her technique. I feel like she had some kind of magic. My grandmother also made wonderful chicken with a totally different method so I have to feel like some other realm is involved.
Try different types of wheat flour. Clear or cake flour should crisp more than AP or bread flour
At the end, you should have a blind taste test to taste the best possible combination and the worst possible combination, and have them judge how much better one is
I love this channel, you guys are so endearing 😄
ideally they would have also tested each wet dredge with each dry blend to determine best because i think there are some variable interactions at play there.
The one thing I took away from this episode, is that Lily has some moves!
You know, I expect the Runescape references from Trevor but hearing Josh just casually drop Morytania in there made me smile.
I'm not sure if he mentioned it elsewhere in the video, but if it's the bit towards the end during the chicken dance, the cc says Mauritania, which is a country in Africa.
Just pressing pause long enough to say V looks so good! Love the hair!
Love these!!
Josh and Mythical Kitchen = chaotic fun time
Good mythical morning fan here and now following! I love to cook but I am not necessarily blessed with skill. Watching your videos inspires me! I love you and your teams’ upbeat vibe and it makes me want to cook fried chicken at 11 pm when I should be sleeping. 😁
besides the point but Vi`s makeup and hair is so beautiful this episode, the lipstick color!! stunning
I want to enroll in Mythical Kitchen University. You will be seeing my application in approximately a month. Thank you.
Trevor's sassy "noooo it's phil collins" gave me life
Nothing quite like a Mythical Kitchen video to get me bricked up on this fine ol' Friday afternoon!
This channel boosts my serotonin 🤘💜🤘
I wanna note that batches *means* cooking multiple chicken legs at a time, and not over-crowding the pan.
So technically the real choice was batches.
Yep, 4" legs was still just a batch, not overcrowded.
My fave ratio which gives sort of a karaage result, is 120 g flour 30 g (potato starch) 10 g cornstarch. Its crispy, and keeps that texture well, without becoming hard.
I don't know about anyone else but I love the old school sitcom intro, and the transitions between scenes.
really enjoyed learning the true lore for lard from trevor
Lily's understated humor always gets me 🤣
17:05 I understood that reference. That very strange and niche reference.
"Pig stink" is a phenomenon that I've always known about but never articulated. Thank you, Josh.
How did you guys not do vegetable oil as one of the options with peanut oil, Crisco, and lard? Frankly - I don't care for the taste of stuff fried in peanut oil (and I have a slight intolerance to peanuts so I limit my intake), so I fry in vegetable oil. And it always come out crispy and delicious.
"that one got deep in there" Josh: "thank you!"... I died
Trevor was feeling things about Lily he wasn't prepared for.
I made the winning combo tonight and it was fantastic. Be sure to watch all of the chicken videos for seasoning and breading tips.
That chicken dance made me question things
One of the problems with the crowding trial is that they appeared to be using cast iron, which is known for maintaining steady and constant heat regardless of how cold the thing you're adding to it is. I'm sure that the result would be different if using enamel or stainless steel cookware, which cannot maintain a heat nearly as steadily.
Wanted to shout out to the entire Mythical kitchen staff that everyone is so attractive
I just love this intro... It's so homey at the same time taking a micky at my childhood tv shows 😂😂
As someone who grew up putting Tony’s on everything I love how much y’all love it
V looked soo concerned with Tony’s invocation 😂😂
This was enlightening.. I know AP flour won, but my sister has Celiac and it's great to know that cornstarch was a very close second and could be a good gluten free option for her..
😂😂 I almost threw up towards the end 😂😂 great video
Trevor absolutely delivered on the Tony's chant
“Life iz so much more fun when u don’t think.” @ 5:50. Nailed it on the head……ignorance iz bliss
Josh I’m gonna need you to stop food m0aning so loud 😂 I’m listening to this video at full volume and my parents can hear my phone 😂😂
I’m going to ness that as well. But so my kids don’t start asking questions.
Here is the thing: a) ratio of starch to flour - b) time… flour makes a reasonable crispy chicken - but it won’t stay as crispy.
Also - it could have a very different effect if you are using anything else as egg whites!
Vi! Love the 'do!
Hearing "it's so wet" on full blast while I was in the shower was very strange😂
Hahaha omg Lilly at the end was the best
I use a 50/50 mix of egg whites and buttermilk as a dredge, should give that a try.
Great video so far
Good mythical morning mythical kitchen!
Trevor- "its a bit like bathing thats why you dont get it"🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀 that one had me dead
I went back and watched the first fried chicken myths, and I could not believe that was over two years ago!! I have no clue where time went.
Vi is such a star!
