Eating fried chicken + watching the rain outside = best combo

"oh no, much dishonor" cracked me up. Literally burst out laughing..

Alvin: waits 2 days for cookies and a day for fried chicken Me: tries to wait 2 days but gives up and bakes it after 30 minutes

Alvin: "My chopstick skills are not very good." Also Alvin: *drains using only chopsticks without dropping the chicken into the sink*

"I like thighs because they're juicy and flavorful." Me with thick thighs: Nice

You need to make a shirt that says: **flavor intensifies**

Cinematography: on point, very good. Captions: First victim, located. This makes alvin's videos so good.

This entire setting looks like its out of the ratatouille movie.

hey alvin! me and my dad aren’t very close and i don’t see him very often so i came to see him a week ago and we made this chicken and omg it was good and it really brought us together a bit more so thank you very much!

i tried this recipe today and it was amazing! very easy to follow and adjust as well! for me, the sauce was a bit too sweet so i added half a squeeze of lemon to balance it up and some cornstarch to make it even ✨thiccer✨ to my liking. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND :)

I’m starting to think Alvin comes up with the best ideas while sleeping. First the Shrek inspired onion rings and now this...

Alvin: ok imma make dinner His family:I can't wait to eat it tonight Alvin: no no dinner for tommorow

I'm disappointed that you don't have at least 5 million subscribers. The quality of film, design, humor, taste in colors, music, and food deserve more recognition.

ok who else uses alvin’s videos as a way to calm down post anxiety/panic attack? there’s something so calm and soothing about the videography, sounds, and captions. Thank you Alvin, you don’t know how many what would be sleepless nights your cooking videos have got me through.

Imagine your doorbell ringing and Alvin standing in front of the door with this...I'd really like to be one of your friends haha

It is like watching ninos home but without the insults,flexing and flirting

His videos are so aesthetically pleasing.

Your channel is the most tragic thing that has happened to my diet!!!!!! This was sooooooooooooo good!!!!! Here's my amateur home cook review: Brine: The brine is the star of the show. The combination of the ginger, garlic, rosemary, sugar and salt is brilliant. After a 24-hr rest in the fridge, I was left with a very fragrant, tender, and juicy meat. It's flawless. Batter: Instead of using plain water (which is totally fine here) I opted for buttermilk. I never fry chicken without a buttermilk batter, but that's just a personal preference. The batter that you used is simple and flawless. The crust had a crunchy exterior with a soft and enjoyable interior. Perfect! RESIST THE URGE TO ADD OTHER SEASONINGS! Honey Butter Sauce: I found the combination of cane sugar and honey to be a bit too sweet for my taste. If I were to make any adjustments, I'd either completely eliminate the cane sugar and add more honey or just cut back on the sugar to 1/8 cup instead of 1/4 cup and still use 1/4 honey. The soy sauce gave an extra punch of savory flavor that paired very nicely with the butter and honey. Final review: This recipe earned it's way into my cookbook. I topped my honey butter chicken with sesame seeds and a plated it with a side of scrambled eggs. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and I look forward to trying out some of the other recipes on your channel.

"I like thighs because they're juicy and flavorful" I see you're a man of culture as well

Jun’s Kitchen and Alvin Zhou’s channel is officially my therapy.

I love the quality of your videos and the outcome of your food. The presentation and the tone .... just relaxing

"I know it's silly, but I like talking to my food." please don't stop, its a wonderful charm of yours! :3

“My chopsticks skills aren’t good. I am a bad asian. Much dishonour!” 😂😂😂😂😂 gotta love someone who can poke fun at themselves!

I tried this recipe at home - that was the most delicious fried Chicken I ever made/had! Amazing! Couldn't stop eating. Thanks for this and all the other Videos you posted! I love the calmness, the perfection and the way you treat your food with a lot of love and patience.🙏

Your videos and soundtracks are so peaceful and the foods you're cooking is amazing. Love it.

I just made this last night and there flavor is legitimately just like any chinese restaurant chicken (the good ones!) you've ever tasted. Literally holy cow. I brined it for around 3 hours and it was just perfect.

Ice water? wha? you don't want to use a beer or seltzer water like EVERY OTHER cooking channel? Seriously thanks for showing me you can do this with ice cold water. Much love

3:50 "I'll throw you back in soon, don't worry" Chicken: Oh sh*t

What a refreshing style!!! Love your videos!

Alvin: I made too much chicken so I am going to share with some friends. Me: I think I'm going to double up on the ingredients.

"flavour intensifies" "First victim:located" "Thank you for your sacrifice" "Now go make friends with the sauce" Yeah, someone pls write a book based on his captions already.

Thank for this video! I will be making this soon. You make everything look so easy. Thank you!

I love these videos!! So peaceful and calming. Keep up the good cooking Alvin!

My new favorite cook on RU-vid! I love how you take your time to cook food. Too often i’m rushing. I know it takes a lot of time to set up camera and I appreciate the work you put into it.

"I like listening to the rain while I eat." Finally, someone who gets me 😭❤️

Made it, loved it. Thank you very much for sharing the recipe.

Thanks, Alvin! My wife loved this video and wanted to try it, so I made this recipe for her birthday earlier this week and it turned out phenomenally well! I expect that it will be a staple recipe for us from now on.

Dang dawg... I subscribed immediately. That was amazing looking chicken.

“I am a bad Asian” I laughed so hard at that 🤣 🤣

Why are your videos so relaxing? I love this

Thank you soo much for this Alvin! I just finished making this and it was absolutely worth it. Idk why but it made me emotional that I put in so much work into this and it actually turned out amazing 🥲

When he said "Oh, no much dishonor." *I felt that*

3:15 “Weeeeeeee That was fun Now the chicken is happy too” I’m dying 🤣

This looks so amazing. Will be trying it soon! Thank you! Wonderfully relaxing cooking video!

I love all of your videos, they're so relaxing

*"I like thighs because they're juicy and flavorful."* 👁👄👁

the way alvin talks to the food like "little one" "buddy" is just so wholesome i canttttttttttttt >.

I love your content. Sometimes when I can't sleep I will listen to you cooking because it's so calming and as a foodie hearing good cooking is so soothing lol

I love how you can hear just how shatteringly crisp that layer of batter is.

me: *sobbing as I binge watch all of these vids cuz they're so soft and wholesome* ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh T-T

Your videos are so lovely and peaceful!

I've watched four videos and I already love this channel, love what you're doing Alvin!

Reminds of the scene in The Garden of Words when it was raining and they're cooking food.

Last time, I've craved for cookies. And now, I'm craving for fried chicken. Too bad it's 11:55 PM from where I am. Guess it'll have to wait tomorrow. I also like chicken thighs. Great video as always, Alvin! 😊

Wow I am so unbelievable relaxed watching this. Thanks!

Me: uses chopsticks but spills literally everything in existence Also me: *alvin in my head*: much dishonor.

i love how alvin is just gonna be a great dad and we just know it

Imagine Alvin having a better cinematic than the studio itself.

ALVIN YOUR MY FAVORTIE TASTY PRODUCER

just at how he calls his food his "children" shows how passionate he is in cooking. ily alvin!

Your videos are so relaxing, I love to watch them

“I made too much chicken” Me: **shoves it all down my mouth in .2 seconds**

The aesthetics, the captions, it's immaculate,it gives me existential crisis

Alvin, this recipe is amazing! Just made this today. I had both chicken breast and thighs and both turned out super juicy from the brine. And that sauce 🙌🏼

This looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!

hi i just wanted to say that all your videos are amazing but this one in specific is just so comforting to me like i really just watch it when im down and i instantly feel happier, i love cooking it really calms me down and this video in particular helps control my anxiety so just yeah thank you

I'm making this, it looks mouth watering! Hi, Alvin your videos are so soothing and calming! :)

What a gorgeous video to watch. So relaxing 😌 and I’m so making this recipe ❤️

Merci Alvin. J'ai fait la recette ce soir et c'est merveilleusement bon! J'aime ta simplicité et ton humour, ne change rien, tu est top!

This is so relaxing, I watch this whenever I feel overwhelmed and it is genuinely helping me

i love these videos. they’re so calming and the food always looks delicious😌💕

The music in these videos is always so relaxing!

Your videos are so incredibly relaxing.

This man just... he makes me so happy. I always cry when watching his videos, I feel like Im home.

I've been quite depressed for the past few months and cooking just felt like something that was too much for me to get into. Watching your video today really made me want to fall back in love with it and try my hand at it again. Thank you so much for such wonderful work!

I've been watching Alvin for quite a while now, I noticed that what separates him from others is his love for food. He literally appreciates every single ingredient that goes into his dish.. I feel jealous!

This is very calming

You talking to your food is the whole reason why your videos are so addictive. Please don't call it silly 🥺

"I like thighs because they're juicy and flavorful" Me: I see your a man of culture as well

I love watching your videos! They are so peaceful. And I want to try all the things!!!!!!

I absolutely ADORE Maangchi and I appreciate that she was your inspiration for this recipe❤💯

Whoever’s gonna be his wife win at life. The dude looks bomb n is a masterchef. Cant ask for more

Alvin has the most op sense of humour

Second vid from you that I feel honored to watch! The setting, but most of all your pace of storytelling, your sence for let everything settle plus your natural personality is outstanding. You are one of a few within a world that turns insane by purpose. Please keep it up! I thank you

I love these videos sooo much! They are made so well and the atmosphere is so relaxing. Also the joy and respect you show to your food is amazing, it's just how food should be treated like :)

Alvin's videos are kinda like Jun's kitchen. But Jun has cats

"Now the chicken is happy too" Chicken from heaven : *crying cat thumbs up*

I think you talking to your food probably is what makes it taste so good. Like giving appreciative pep talks to your plants, or confiding in your pets. How loving!

Wow the best part about your recipes and that they actually pretty simple. They just take a little slowness. I feel like I’ve always rushed around in the kitchen. Yesterday I started the 48 hour cookies and it was so simple yet it requires a lot of patience. I’ll try this recipe too and the burgers. :) thank so sharing your energy with us it’s magical

Me wonders how he's skinny OHHHHH he eats every other 32 hours makes sense

Honestly my goal in life rn is to be Alvin’s roommate/friend - like, damn son.

I made this recipe and it was absolutely delicious. It was incredibly easy and straightforward, overall amazing!

the video is therapeutic, loving the aesthetics and BGM used
