Dui LEE As long as it reaches past a certain temperature, it’s safe to eat, even if it’s pink. Sometimes the pinkness can simply be caused by residual blood in the meat
Thank you very much for bringing up an old memory. I was doing my compulsory military service in Germany in 1986. They told us to prepare a chicken in mud exactly like in your video. It was a challenge in the 72h training. You got a NATO EPA (One Man Package to last for one day) and at the end of the second day a living chicken for two men. Before that, we were teached to kill and prepare a chicken with feathers in mud next to the campfire.
First of all. This guy is your best guide thus far. He seems to really understand Vietnam, gives good explanation and is very genuine. Please do not co-host with your dude who brought you for big-headed prawns which cost 50 USD or so. Secondly, I believe the real origin of this dish is from China, named 'Beggar's Chicken'. And as its name suggests, the beggar did not have the apparatus to cook the chicken, and had to made do by constructing an 'oven' from clay, thereby birthing this cooking method.
Mud baked, salt baked chicken/meat - I've had it in Malaysia. Only difference, the fur were removed & it was wrapped with some kind of rice paper before being covered in mud.
he just means that chinese beggars used that cooking technic a few thousands years earlier. the difference is that they wrap around the chicken with dry rice weed first and not directly with mud
Seriously I don't know why you don't have your own tv show. These videos are of such high quality and you should have more subs. Great video man keep it up!
Am I the only one who notice that all of Sonny’s tour guides are interesting on camera and a perfect combo? I seriously can’t get enough of this show :)
I wish i could live in Vietnam even for a couple of months to see the beauty of this country and learn about their culture and eat authentic vietnamese food. Vietnam has come a long way and it seems the country is developing fast. I hope they keep their culture and does not succumb to western influence like what is happening to other asian countries.
You know I expected a much different result. I was super surprised when he pulled it open and it was clean yummy chicken I thought what they left the feathers on and in mud that’s gonna have dirt in it but I was pleasantly surprised. As always Sonny you took me to a new world to discover something I would never and possibly could never of experienced on my own thank you so much. Oh and you did it all while giving me a smile.
Nah... is cooked but not over cooked.. i dont know how to make it clear but imagine that's kind of cooked of that chicken is like steak from 5* restaurant
Vietnamese farm chickens like these one have the best life a farm chicken can possibly hope for: A big ass yard to live and run around, freedom to mate and breed, plus they get to eat all the natural, organic foods they can have. The cage is for them to take shelter during the night and that's it. The meat is very muscular and tasty since they run around a lot.
"Screw you bob, and your damn chicken!" (throws into the mud) "Oh yea, I'm gonna eat it anyway!" (does eat it anyway) "Oh hey, this is kinda good." *culture is born*
What I love about this show is not just the unique foods but how food can bring people together. Different cultures but we all have one thing in common a bond over a nice meal.
normally food review shows like joeys meme tour and the product of the day or whatever, just munch food disgustingly on camera and just make you cringe. and they don’t even describe or review the food that well. plus they eat common fast foods. honestly i think food reviewers should review exotic hard to find foods just like you and not something you can get from you local mcdonalds. your such a good reviewer, your funny, humorous and just a great guy with a great show. keep it up bro :)
u really cant compare something like- report of the week or what "joey" does on his channel- yeah its food review but there is a big contrast between the channels
I feel mad respect for this guy cause there’s not many Vietnamese cultured videos on RU-vid and I’m Vietnamese but I was born in America so I get to experience what it was like for my parents
Ive already eaten chicken in mud. However, I did not eat it at holiday but I made it by myself. Extremely delicious. One of the most delicious things I've ever eaten.
this is very similar to our traditional way of cooking in New Zealand. We call ours hangi, instead we wrap it in leaves and cook it underground after cooking rocks over a heavy fire and it with the ashe dropping into a hole before dropping in the contents after before burying it with soil to contain the steam.
The worst part about his reaction to the lady baggin the chicken is, the one he buys from his favorite Publix wasnt treated with half the respect the lady treated hers.
Guys, a huge THANK YOU! For posting this video!!! I'm originally from the country in China, Growing up, I only heard stories about how my family and friends used to make "mud chicken". Done exactly the same way except they would build mud ovens as well as wrap the chicken in mud. I'm glad to finally see how it's done. :')
I have no words to express the gratitude of all your video and please say thank you to all the people that are working really hard to make the video in different countries along with you do you hook crew to the people that do visiting in those places far far away from USA tell them thank you and God bless you
One i love the most about you is you can adapt yourselves easily toward any kind of the others culture, food, places and tradition. You see it in a very beautiful way and very open to anything. Btw, keep make a video. Im waiting for every video that you uploaded here. Greetings from Malaysia
This is a very simple roasting skill everyone can do, and one doesn't have to be an expert to do it properly. The important parts are the quality of the chicken itself and how you keep the heat steady while roasting it, apart from those, nothing is really special here. I've had a lot of these and I can tell you they were not much different from one another, no matter who made it. You don't have to act like this is some professional stuff like science rocket or something like that, it's just simple cooking Jeez.
I know this is an old video but I’m just discovering it today, your roots are (relatable) Eurocentric, humble, empathetic to the food in a western and perhaps perceived as unnecessarily empathetic; your character pure, my dear, humble host. Cheers from Nor Cal in 2019.
It does not right! The right cooking way is when we open the mud, all of the feather would be sticked in the mud: no feather left outside of the chicken! It does not look right. Sorry!
