Brits try Best Fried Chicken in America! 

no ollie we need a book of Puns!!!

Is it the best ever 😂 fukin unbelievable

Dipping it in the mashed potatoes! You brits finally understand us here in the US.

Link is to the old book?

I bought it within about two minutes after watching that video where you presented it to him. Space, carrots, how can you go wrong! Good stuff. I should be getting my copy today! Yay!

Keith taught them well!!

They already dipped fried chicken onto leftover biscuits and gravy... Damn well they do feel they're Americans

It is the best way to eat chicken.

Yes he sure did 😊

I guess I live in a different part of the US because I have literally never seen anyone do that.

lol no one wants citizenship in this shithole country

You can loan them occasionally…but you have to PROMISE you’ll keep Prince Harry! Deal? 😂

@@GIBBO4182 You just hate him because he married a beautiful mixed-race woman, he literally hasn't been bothering anyone!

@@nikkirockznikkirockz8551fvck all the so called “royal”. They’re just leeches on the rest of us.

These places are packed everyday regardless if they made this show. Nothings changed but I enjoy the show

American cabbage though...

thats 2 different types of seasonings. Soul food cabbage, Black American cabbage, is different.

I thought they were collards?

@@Jehzell963collard greens are totally different than cabbage

@@starofdabloc yes, I know. It looked like collards to me. Delicious stuff!!!

Not the Tom from MySpace picture 😅

Don’t listen to Tom. He once told me that his social media platform would become the world’s town hall where we all would meet and share our opinions on the current topics in the world.

Gas station and corner store are legit. Tom speaks the truth.

@@LilliLamour I thought I recognized that photo! Tom was everyone's friend as soon as you joined Myspace. Haven't been to that site in years!

@@Ure_Boss in 2005 I sold for 580 million. I'm rich, B!tch!!! LoL

We'd have alcohol poisoning 😂

I puked 😢

They way they react to properly seasoned food, makes you understand why everyone makes fun of British food

I would be 3 sheets to the wind.

they said it as i read this comment 💀

He just needs to accept that he's been Americanized. Everytime this man takes a bite of fried chicken, he starts getting all patriotic 😂

Show some respec' for southern fried chicken Brit Boy! Stuff's dam good.

@@ohishwaddup Imagine thinking fried chicken is American

@@LUFC273 I didn't say that lol. Olly just loses his mind over ours for some reason. In another video he just said "America" all proudly after a single bite 😂

@@LUFC273it may not be American, but we are one of the best to ever cook it

What does collard greens taste like ?

@@sxystar41 Cabbage is the closest in flavor but it’s more bitter we add sugar and or vinegar to offset the bitterness though. The texture is unique though crunchy even when cooked there will be a bit of a crunch.

@@sxystar41they taste a bit like kale greens

This why my cousins & aunty big as hell. we still eat the same soul food but no more lard none of that. more fresh produce & organic foods from scratch & family recipe.

@@sxystar41like heaven

Maple butter sounds incredible!

The UK traveled the world to acquire spices, only to not use much in their cuisine.

I'm from NZ and haven't had much American food besides McDonald's and Burger King. I tried Taco Bell for the first time about a week ago and their fries were the nicest I've ever had.

@@PaulW4Taco Bell doesn’t have fries

@@JBrotsis1 taco bell has nacho fries

I think becuase its to preserve food not for flavoring 😂​@@Dudewitbow

Sadly that's everywhere in America prices just go up they never go back down

As a 20+ year trucker that’s eaten all over the country? The BEST food is usually in the sketchiest neighborhoods or the most rundown spots. 😂 Some of the best fried chicken or fish I’ve ever had has been served from behind bulletproof glass.

@@MCG55SS I mean that's just the way inflation works. Gas no longer costs 10 cents a gallon, or as my mom used to say you can't get sick off a nickel's worth of candy.

@@Lumpygrits76 Very true. Willie Mae's is in Treme, one of the rougher parts of town, but the restaurant is safe and well patrolled.

@@MCG55SS Inflation is especially high in the restaurant industry. Many restaurants are still obsessed with recouping the profits they lost during the pandemic/lockdown, and then some.

By some spices and some breasts and make fried chicken. Doesn’t take very much effort.

@@beardedbros7215 Don’t you think if I could, I would?? I’m in college. I live in a dorm. I don’t have a kitchen.

that’s a really good point. i’m not american but i’m vegetarian so i never really understood this either 😂

And she usually interviews black people, black people love chicken apparently

right!!! the premise of it makes so much more sense to me now!

Jolly needs to make a book full of Ollie’s metaphors and similes 😂

bro has got one of them creative minds fr

@@lotsofhairbutnomoney3705 Right?! I'm in such an awe

@@MegaFlowers123 Let's pretend to be surprised when they actually do it🥰

Josh is the face of the channel pretty much, but Ollie is an under-rated part of it who's ceaselessly watchable. The channel would be dramatically less without him.

If you’ve spent any time in the UK you would know that was true! 😂

American here, and a regular visitor to the UK. The fried chicken there for the most part is terrible. Very basic with hardly any spices added. So when these boys gush about the seasoning, that's why.

American here living in the UK. All the times I’ve cooked for my friends over here, they’re always surprised by how much spice and seasoning I put in my food. Still, there’s never anything left over.

​@@hisbigalthe seasoning joke is real

They look very much like the dishes used in indian restaurants

@@johnfothergill5372 I agree! I love tiny serving dishes😍😅

Those are the little Indian Balti dishes

I’m from Michigan and I wouldn’t have a problem with it. Lol.

I second that motion

But they didn't actively promote it like they do with korean culture

As someone from South Louisiana, I've loved the recent videos in New Orleans and these guys have more than earned their slot here

At this point, might as well make them Honorary Americans with how much food they’ve had from the U.S.

In another comment it was mentioned that they have high metabolism or something

Not to be annoying but, from what I remember from other videos, Josh has a fast metabolism but Ollie works out a bunch because he doesn't 😢😂

😅

@Seriously... whoosh x 6 Double FIRST name...like Billy Joe, Mary Sue, etc

Adolf *****

Billie Jean

none of these are places to eat, what are you doing?@@Seriously...

It's not that British food in general is not well seasoned, but fried chicken in the UK is usually not good quality. It's mostly poor quality copies of KFC.

They definitely play into the stereotype for the camera. I mean, the UK invented Chicken Tikka Masala, it's not like they're completely barren of flavour :P

Also adding to the reply above, they are honorary Koreans at this point because of their other channel korean englishmen. Josh spent half his life in korea and even have a korean wife who is quite literally a korean masterchef finalist. If anything they'd probably tried more flavor

@@elsasalah oh in that case they’re DEFINITELY playing it up for the camera, because South Korea are fried chicken masters. Their chicken is unbelievable.

@@joshl4111 To be fair I'm extremely certain it was a British *Pakistani* man who made that but you're right hahaha. It's funny because you know for a fact they've tried things from all over the world for ten years and they're still kind of like this.

@@joshl4111 they really dont lol

Stop lying! Well, damn. Charles, Diana, and I are 13th cousins.

@@terryl.cooper Not lying Terry. Charles is my 18th cousin & Diana is my 17th cousin twice removed.

As compared to a cupcake, which could be just a muffin in a paper holder! I suppose generally sweet vs a muffin ,which could be savory or both.

Ever see an "English Muffin?" Obviously, Brits are confused about muffins!🫣 😂 (Don't come at me, I know people in the UK call them "crumpets.") 🤭

​@@TiaTeresa467 English muffins and crumpets are not usually regarded as the same by British people...

​@@nathanwahl9224 cupcakes are usually iced/frosted

I like the gritty!

The cornbread they had was only missing one ingredient. Chili to dip it in after you've buttered it.

I scream every time, “where’s the butter?!!”.

@@ST-ov8cm I am from NY (not the city) and even living in one of the most remote, residential areas of the east coast, and north...I know cornbread needs to be buttered. Preferably with something to dip it in that is hearty and meaty.

Agreed! Cornbread is incredible

In my opinion, cornbread should not be sweet! However, thinking that's what Ollie's tastebuds want...plus butter, of course!! 😂 He would probably enjoy (BUTTERED!!) cornbread made with "Jiffy Mix!!"

Shallow fried in cast-iron is the BEST!!

I had an Aunt Willie, I wonder if her middle name was Mae? She was my dad's aunt, I wonder if she made great fried chicken??

Not a vegan, but I do hope that someday they can make a vegan Fried Chicken substitute that tastes close to the real thing so that you folks aren't left out. I honestly feel bad about it lol

After watching these two guys, how can you still be a vegan?

Ah you poor soul. You’re missing out big time!

Condolences 🤣🤣🤣

Fried chicken grease. Expensive electronics. What could go wrong?

Sounds like the liquor from the south of England

Butter is a must!

Butter and honey! 😋

I can eat cornbread any way it comes! I love corn bread! Native food at its finest!

Melted butter if the cornbread is cold but maple syrup if the cornbread is fresh out of the oven and still hot.

It's closed now

killing it a second time

My understanding is that the usual fast food fried chicken places (KFC, Popeyes, Church's, etc.) use a pressure fryer. That in an of itself results in excellent moisture retention. But that should be consistent around the world. The hard part is keeping the meat moist (especially white meat that dries out easily) when pan frying, which takes longer and typically produces a crispier fried batter.

They made a video some years ago trying many different british fried chicken, I bet you can tell yourself from how they look that these 2 aren't exaggerating 😂

the thing is American chickens are low quality from being raised so poorly and inhumanely as well as being fed garbage and hormones, so imagine if Willie Mae's actually used quality chickens...

@@OlJackBurton Depends on the source. There are a lot of farms that still raise heritage breed chickens. Even some in the US that raise traditional Asian breeds like "yellow hair". I've bought those before at the suggestion of Asian friends, and those are typically smaller and have smaller legs and small amounts of breast meat, but a richer chicken flavor that well suited for making chicken soup. But no - growth hormones can't be used in American poultry. Antibiotics can be used to promote growth, but must be stopped well before slaughter and undetectable in tests at the time of slaughter, and the USDA inspects all poultry facilities. They're big because of the breeding of white broiler chickens that grow faster on less feed with large body parts - especially the legs. How humanely chicken are raised varies. Some farms still raise white broilers in more humane conditions, while some might raise heritage breeds in large facilities. I've bought chickens from a local facility where they clearly had live chickens in house and were slaughtering them in the back room. I do remember going to this place once where they said their slaughtering equipment wasn't working, but we could buy a live one and take it home if we knew how to slit its throat and let it bleed out and remove the feathers.

Just don’t make the same mistake - corn bread is made for adding heaps of butter

​@@ST-ov8cmAND/OR Cornbread is to ALWAYS be eaten with greens, cabbage and beans to soak in the wet part or crush on top! By itself... Yeah, butter! 🤤

Y'all come on down!

You should make biscuits and sausage gravy. It's really easy to do and doesn't take a lot of ingredients. You would love it!

omg, I would love to cook you homemade biscuits and gravy!!!! it’s the best comfort food.

How dare you talk about Reviewbrah like that!😤 Jk😁

@@krisfinley6706 - nah reviewbrah is cool. Unique weirdo, I like him :)

Not for long but yeah they can fly enough to get onto a perch or make a quick getaway from predators. As long as they aren't the mega fat factory farmed birds, I doubt those can even walk.

​@chriswhinery925 yup meat farm birds usually struggle to walk once they're over about 2-3months old

The specific location they were at in this video was the restaurant in Venice CA if you are going to be in that area before you make it to New Orleans.

Dude, the airport food is just as good!

@@katyas-momMeh, as someone who doesn't like seafood, in an airport full of seafood, the food I did eat there felt about the same as anywhere else 😅

I don't know about that. I've seen comments saying it was unfair that they didn't just give their crew their own separate orders. In any case, they've addressed this before - that they try to do what they can to reduce food waste. I've seen criticisms from others that they're somehow wasting food, when people didn't know that they were sharing what they didn't consume on camera with the crew. But this only shows that you can't please everyone and there will be critics regardless of what they do.

That's what I was thinking too

@@reneerollins4433 they don’t know they are British

Yup, once I saw the "cabbage", I immediately suspected it was actually collard greens

And?? Enjoy them? 😁

@bladepanthera so this place is about 40 min from me, and when I've tried to go there before, they were closed. Yamyang--I'm not usually a fan of sweet sauces on meat, and this hasn't won me over. Their pieces were hacked up (lots of bone, little meat) or wings, and the honey made it so sticky. I think I'd rather just have the fried chicken. My friend's pork bulgogi was good, as was her fish "corn dog". We both enjoyed the jeon. Deokbokki was good, the sauce has a kick that sneaks up on you. I can see why the consistency might be a thing for some people. Verdict: I'll go back there again, but might try other dishes, would only repeat the jeon or the bulgogi. The "potato salad" side was interesting....more like cold mashed potatoes with pieces of veggie in it, less creamy-mayo than American potato salad. Liked it more than I thought I would, would probably love that salad in summer!

This clip is from California, but still a good one. The Willie Mae's there, despite not being the original, seems to do things the same way and has the quality of the New Orleans location.

They didn't say they were in California but Ollie said that it was established in Louisiana. I'm not trying to be difficult but Josh and Ollie did say that they were in California because they recently posted a video of Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. They're still posting videos from Louisiana.

@@bjishername No worries. This was a California video. The original location in New Orleans is not open. There was a fire this past Spring and they are working on remodeling/restoration and will hopefully be back open the end of next year. This is the location that was opened out in California, the only place you can currently get Willie Mae's. It is on Lincoln Boulevard in Venice. The original location in New Orleans looks much different architecturally.

​@@RealzFoSho Thank you for the information. My co-worker wants to go there.
