Great Cooking Videos

And then we’ll flip them over. After I add the chicken the grease will simmer down. Notice when I first add the chicken is going, its cooking as loud, its cooking, its frying well. That’s how you know the chicken is done. Its starts getting quieter, the chicken gets more done, as the grease stops and settles down some.

Ok, now we’re about five minutes into cooking, we notice some bubbles are coming off the top, we notice that and flip them over. We’ve got brown on the side. You’ve got to start thinking about a season frying pan, a season frying pan the brown sides will not burn your chicken. You notice they’ve been cooking for an hour, I don’t know maybe an hour, or more, it wont burn with a season frying pan. We’ll flip it over, fry it a little longer, and turn it back in.

Alright, here we are after another five minutes of cooking, we’re going to turn them back over again, another four, five minutes we’ll flip them, we want them cooking through out, until they’re all nice golden brown, until the grease comes clear of them also, we’ll know they’re done. I’ll show you when they’re done. Whenever they’re done, we’ll take them out, you’ll see what I’m talking about, how the grease settles down.

Alright, its still frying, we put them through one more time. The chicken looking good, kind of golden brown, frying up like a golden feast, still crackling, still popping, kind of like its cooking, Its looking a little crusty, I cooking, I cooking. I’m cooking, I’m cooking!

Alright, now the grease has come down to the minimal, our chicken is all golden brown, fried up and nice, it’s done. You know it’s done because the grease isn’t crackling and popping that loud. Its kind of whispering, its talking to you, its saying “hey, I’m burning the chicken man! You don’t know it, but I’m burning the chicken” Now listen to the grease when the chicken is raw, see the difference. What we just heard and what we’re getting ready to hear. Listen, as soon as it bubbles up, now that’s raw chicken, that’s how you know its cooking, its cooking, its cooking! And when its slows down like it just was, then its ready to come out.

Alright, and there we’ve got fried chicken. Its wonderful, good, delicious, its juicy, its spiced up, it taste like onions and garlic, and Chinese seasoning, salt and pepper. Remember you can cook any meat this way. You can cook pork chops this way, any piece of chicken you want you can cook this way. When its done its done, when the grease stops crackling its ready to come off.

That’s cooking with Dave, and remember I am the world’s greatest chef! It says right here on my apron! Thanks.
