Chicken Expert tries Korean Chicken for the first time! 

Ollie is like a step dad in this, desperately trying to find some middle ground with his new step son haha

I think I understand what Elijah meant. He likes chicken that is marinated to the meat, has flavor when biting the meat, instead of relying on crunch or flavors coating outside. It's a different point of view but I like his honesty

if he doesn't like it, then it is not for him. Nothing to be really serious. it's his opinion. he doesn't have to say he likes even he didn't like it because he is on youtube or something. As korean it would be great if he enjoyed alot, but even he didn't it is okay. everybody is different.

I love his honest review and I can totally understand where his review came from. but the way he delivered the comment was another thing. Maybe just his personality. But it's a struggle watching Josh And Ollie tried hard to keep the mood.

Wow, Ollie's humour is on steroids on this one. The jokes are as spontaneous as it gets and on point. 5 stars for this video.

Ollie's comments and how he handles things it's just absolutely brilliant, I love videos where he's also talking and being him, it's just so funny!

치킨 전문가가 아니라, 그냥 칠면조 사이즈만한 미국식 치킨을 좋아하는 사람 같아요. 본인이 좋아하는 맛에 따라 점수가 달라지는 전문가(?)이신 듯.

I know this video is old, but i just was so sad when I read comments. Never seen this kid before, but i think he was genuinely funny and honest. Why everyone so mad? He gave high grades (most of the grades was around 4 and it's a lot when it's out of 5) I hope when he read comments it didn't affect him much

Josh is living embodiment of the meme that is the crying face behind the smiling mask. You can see a little heartbreaking

This video was tense lol🤡 massive thanks to ollie for toning down the tension with his jokes😂😂 love you Ollie!!

This video had me laughing non stop from start to end. The back and forth banter was amazing. Josh and Ollie are so quick witted!

The thing about Korean Chicken is (and I've eaten some in South Korea too) It does relied heavily on the sauce and breading. The Fried Chicken itself (the original one) is not actually that different than normal KFC (depends on what shop u eat in or what country u eat the kfc from) Korean Chicken is very good compared to like most western fried chicken But if u went to Asia, especially south or south east Asia, u could find fried chicken with marination that's absorbed to the bone. And it made Korean Chicken somewhat pale in comparison. So yeah if he eat a lot of soul food type of Fried Chicken, pretty sure he's very honest about his review on this.

I liked his honest review even though most of us would probably think the chicken was out of this world 😀

I like the he's rating the chicken itself and not just the sauce and coating that we all know is amazing.

I checked out some of Elijah’s other videos before writing and it seems like he is normally more relaxed and detailed with some of his reviews so I’m wondering what was making him seem so uncomfortable.

I love Korean fried chicken, but I completely understand his sentiment. It reminds me in the Philippines, there is a famous Korean fast food chain and some people love their chicken, some don't because they often said only the skin has taste (because of the sauce) and the meat inside is way too bland. It became a meme and running joke lol but they do try to improve and cater. Appreciate his honesty for that, some people just have different preference. Though I would've appreciated it more if he was nicer about it with less arrogant vibes at least for this episode LOL

Ollie is the real MVP, trying to relax all the tension in this episode. 😂

Ollie did a lot of heavy lifting on this video! Always amazing with the jokes. I don’t buy the CNSR’s assessment. Felt Josh and Ollie had to squeeze a lot of jolliness from this video to make up for the lack of enthusiasm from the guest.

most of the comments are mad damn stupid, jolly just invite this guest to try Korean chicken and see if he likes it or not, that's just it, objective or not doesn't matter that much.

I can't remember a single guest saying they didn't like Korean fried chicken. Elijah's honesty is a breath of fresh air that was desperately needed from the barrage of positive praise from everyone else. Great video, amazing collab, but I still felt a pang of pain when Elijah gave the chicken a 3.4.

To be fair, I don't think that guy is a chicken expert 😂🤷🏻‍♀️. I think he's an expert on what HE likes, but you have to be objective when rating a food or drink. He pretty much proved that when he said he'd rate chicken with cheese a 1 because he doesn't like cheese. He's not factoring in many things, the crunch is something that many many people find to be the most appealing thing about fried chicken. Also, the country of origin, spices, and different cultural tastes should be taken into consideration. A wine conissuour/sommelier doesn't rate a wine based purely on their own preferences, but on many different factors. I just don't think this an accurate assessment of Korean fried chicken. By the way, the guy is 29 years old. He's no child.

Ollie makes the Best references " you're like Jasmine at the start of Aladdin" "like a sommelier who hasn't tried Red Wine" 🤣🤣🤣

olly has never been funnier before, he nailed every gag in this video 😂

Ollie and the Connoisseur interacting is like an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object.

I get the sense that the Chicken Conoisseur only does southern spicy fried chicken. There’s tons of fried chicken around the world. And KOrean is one of the more popular/trending ones right now. So very surprised that he never tried.

I'm guessing everybody must know that the CNSR was **born on May 28, 1993** and is 30 as of November 2023.

these one off kind of videos remind me how hard it actually is to have chemistry in these things and how long josh and Ollie have made it look effortless. it’s okay that this collab was awkward or didn’t work as well as others. both content creators have their lane and they’re respectively successful at what each does best. doesn’t mean we need to bash the chicken guy or josh and Ollie. it’s really fine that out of hundreds of videos maybe one video wasn’t sparkly and easily wrapped up as the rest- it’s human

I think the problem was not in the candid rating, which is appreciated, but the attitude. He came off as being determined not to be wowed, which probably was felt by Josh and Ollie and made the whole vibe a tad uncomfortable. “Connoisseur” doesn’t mean “hard to please.”

Ollie is totally the backbone on this channel He is just the best!!!👍👍👍

He's absolutely right, about the sauce doing all the work. I've jokingly referred to the chicken in Korean barbecue chicken as a sauce delivery device. And I've made Buldak without breading or cheese, but I've never had it made by someone who knows what they're doing, so I have no idea what it's supposed to taste like -- can't find it around here. But yes, dairy cancels spice, that's why we put sour cream in super spicy chili.

I used to watch and enjoy a lot of Elijah's videos growing up, didn't expect him to be this cold and hardly make an effort with josh and ollie damnnn don't take life so seriously man

Massive thanks and salute to Ollie who made this video enjoyable and fun to watch

Somehow i didn't "feel" this collab. Not because of the (honest) ratings, just because there was no vibes among these 3. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Ollie clearly made this video enjoyable .

He looked like he didn't even want to be there.

for the 1st time seeing Ollie being panicked relax ollie 🤣🤣🤣

"I'm still learning Korean. Eighty percent there, round it up to ten" 🤣🤣

Reading many comments appreciating the guest’s honesty . Not gonna lie, I feel like he is the type of person if you say something is good, he will say its bad. If you say something is bad, he will say its good. Lol.

This kid is the type that's keeps telling everyone that the food's not good but keep eating the most .

why is everyone in this comment section so sensitive? this video wasn't tense at all, Chicken connoisseur's content is literally a harsh and scrupulous review of wherever he goes, which is why getting a 4 or above is seen as a great positive. Ollie and Josh will have known this just like everyone familiar with his content is. Please stop crying in the comment section on there behalf its embarrassing.

Thankfully Ollie carried this entire episode.

I'd like to fire the person that gave this guy the title of connoisseur or expert.

올리 저 능청스러움이 너무 웃김ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 그나저나 전문가님이 확실히 취향이 확고하신듯 저런분이 5점준 치킨이 너무 궁금해져요 대체 어떤맛일까 기준점이 다른걸 보면 아직 못먹어본맛 같아서 너무 궁금함..

This dude only likes plain, bland chicken…. I love the “that’s kinda the point” 😂😂 YES ! 👏🏽

Oile was literally a ventilator of this episode lol

How about a collaboration with Amelia from the Chicken Shop Date. It'll be a Korean Chicken Shop Date 😂

Ollie’s spontaneous jokes never disappoint us

Josh and Ollie your face everytime hahahaha

For a sec, i thought hes really a connoisseur of chicken. Its just a stage name for his persona for YT channel.

Ollie's rounds up/down system is so funny. rate 3.5 and 4.4 chicken becomes same rate LOL

ollie carrying the whole vid on his back with his spontaneous jokes is what im living for. Ollie i love u man u are a mad genius.

How did I not know this collab happened lol great stuff

Respect his assessment. I think the forte of KoreanFC is variety. They offer lot of different flavors and combinations which never let you get bored. But it doesnt neccesarily offer the most savory chicken of all time.. There are good fried chicken receipes all around the world. You cant really say one is the best..!

I think their vibes did not mesh well, they are good on their own. Most guests would laugh at Ollie's humour which generally eases the situation a bit but maybe he wasn't a fan of his jokes hahaha

The thing with this guest is that his candid attitude and analysis of the chicken borders on being brash. It maybe wasn’t his intent but it was the effect regardless. Now take this guest and compare it with Sortedfood. Both probably have had some amazing food, including some incredible chicken, and both parties probably have their own ideas and reservations of what qualifies as great food after years of eating and critiquing. The people from sorted however probably take Josh and Ollie’s efforts of arranging these collaborations and including them in their videos much more into consideration. People like Ben and Barry have eaten some amazing cuisine but never try to critique food at the expense of their guests/hosts’ feelings. That’s probably why they’ve had enjoyable experiences with other channels like Korean Englishman and the Sidemen. This is not to say the guest was rude, or acted outright unreasonably. It is just my opinion that their honesty and comments, at times, clashed with the vibe of the video and Josh and Ollie’s efforts of making an enjoyable video centred on him no less.

This gave me the 1xtra show “rapper explains to classical music expert” vibes can’t lie 😂

Jolly's professionalism shines through. Ollie carried this video!

i respect the guest's opinions but to me, overall it just felt like he was super unenthusiastic to begin with. this video was like watching a kid trying to get fed something new and different by his parents because he only ever wants to eat nuggets or something like that. idk the vibes were just off... not the jolliest of jolly videos for sure 😅

I think Jolly should go on a chicken shop date with Amelia Dimoldenberg and go on a date with her, eating Korean chicken 😉🍗

치킨전문가 맞아요??? 눅눅하고 기름지고 큰 서양식 치킨을 너무 좋아하는것같네.

This is a mind blowing collaboration.

Was a strange guest. Felt like neither side wanted to deal with other that much.

치킨전문가가 한국치킨을 안먹었다니 이건 전문가라하기 어려운데요? ㅋㅋㅋ

Ollie's wine comparisons were spot on! Unfortunately the guest likes a certain type of chicken and everything else is just inferior to him rather than a different type of chicken.

He isn’t a connoisseur, he’s just a regular dude with preferences

What makes a Korean Fried Chicken is the chicken, the extra crispiness batter and also the sauces/coatings, it goes hand in hand. If one decides to judge solely on the chicken, then its not really a Korean Fried Chicken innit? He should call himself Plain Fried Chicken (My Personal Style) Connoisseur instead. And Yangyeom isn't even a spicy type of chicken like those Nashville Hot Chicken (which I believe he's comparing it too) , the flavour profile is sweet and spicy not "dead" for sure.

I can’t finish this. You can’t call yourself a connoisseur if you’re going to rate things low based on just what you’re used to. The criteria is also skewed. You can’t judge fried chicken the way you would soft-skinned chicken. The purpose of an introduction is that you come into the experience with an open mind. This feels more like he is there to pose as a challenge and they need to impress him instead of a guest they’re sharing a new thing with.

I don't know if anyone should claim they are a chicken expert if they haven't had the most common types of chicken.

I am a connoisseur of connoisseurs and this connoisseur ain't no connoisseur.

The moment I heard “a whole new world”, I was waiting for Ollie to make an ‘Aladdin’ Reference. He’s not predictable, I’m just intuitive 😂

I was so shocked by the low reviews. I got hooked on Korean fried chicken because of these guys. In fact, I just ordered it for dinner, and I can't wait to eat it.🐓

Korean chicken is being sold through a food truck in Germany. I really feel this way, but Korean food is so popular! Thank you for always.

보통 치킨 맛을 치킨이라는 요리 자체의 맛을 느끼는데 이 분은 닭 본연의 맛을 즐기면서 거기에 더해 요리된 맛을 느끼려고 하시는 게 되게 뚜렷하시네요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 이런 스타일로 치킨 즐기시는 분한탠 확실히 취향에 안 맞을 것 같긴 해요

Thank god for Ollie on this channel, he is always hilarious and genuine, no matter the different energy, reactions of the guests or even if they are funny or not (depends on the viewer I agree), he makes the episode worth it! I'm always going in and keep on watching despite finding the content not quite to my liking some days because I know Ollie will bring a ray of sunshine in the video (no offence for the video or the guest of course, it just depends on everyone's liking)

한국의 치킨은 작은 닭을 사용하고 튀김과 양념에 집중 합니다. 닭고기 본연의 맛을 추구한다면 어떤 종류의 치킨을 갖다 드리더라도 큰 점수는 못 받을 겁니다. 전문가님은 큰 닭의 고기향과 맛을 선호하시는 걸로 보이고 아주 예리하고 솔직한 평가였습니다.

“He’s like a sommelier drinking the entire bottle” 😭

I really want to thank Ollie for everything. He is amazing

This young man has elevated his own seat as being chicken taster ... such as snob

Fried chicken is characterized by its crispiness. Because it is coated with tempura powder, it should not be soggy. It must be crispy.

Connoisseur couldn’t not be arsed with this at all 😂

Lol i think he’s more of a picky eater than a chicken connoisseur

먹어보기도 전에 치즈와 치킨의 조합이라고 1점 줄 수 있다고 말하는걸 보니, 진짜 전문가가 아니군요.

I’m loving their dynamic 5:13 and 9:32 killed me. 😂

My favourite episode, hands down! 😂

I don’t think he’s a certified chicken connoisseur. I call Phony.

After this video I went to check out his channel and all I can say is that, what a PRETENTIOUS GUEST.

we need more of this haha!

this is what a real food reviewer is like btw

Honestly speaking, this is the first Jolly episode i didn‘t really enjoy watching. Josh seemed kinda uncomfortable and Ollie really had to save the video with his jokes (that were amazing as always. It‘s not that i dislike the honesty and want to see fabricated reviews that just enjoy everything, however i felt that this man was not a Connaisseur but rather someone trying hard to dislike Korean chicken and selling personal preferences as an objective review. Especially on RU-vid i feel like the promise of honesty is often confused with being overly critical and searching for (subjective) reasons to back up that critique.

I think their audience in general is quite different (which there is nothing wrong with that!) But definitely I personally feel like I couldn't comfortably (?) watch this video ?? Kinda feels a little more tense than I personally like (maybe bc I watch Korean Englishmen/jolly while I eat alone for breakfast and usually want something easy going) Overall this was a different experience! But now I'm definitely curious as to what fried chickens he has given high ratings for. I have a friend who thinks about the same as him about KFC, but when I tried the fried chicken he raved about I was like ??? Anyways long ramble lol

This is such a fresh take on how Korean fried chicken is being perceived....I like this episode

I have been watching Jolly for at least 2-3 years and its my 2nd favourite channel on RU-vid. I recently tried Korean fried chicken and liked it. I like decent spice but not really spicy. I could only do 3 mouthfuls of Shin noodles (not even half the container) so when I tried Korean fried chicken I ordered sweet chili, which is mild. It probably wasn't literally the most flavouful chicken I'd ever had but it was up there, I would put it in the top 3. I would have preferred the batter or coating to be crispier than it was (so the opposite of the taster in this video) and I could have done with slightly more spice. I'm going to try it once more this week and this time will order the crispy "flavour" (I wonder if its more of a texture thing) to see if my 2nd tasting is even nicer.

I love how Ollie saved this interview. Josh definitely gave up halfway. He does give fair points but noticed that he only prefers chicken without anything. If the chicken itself is the basis of good fried chicken would that limit his tasting adventure? Seems quite dissapointing even for a chicken connoiseur like him.

It borderline feels like he's being a little narrow-minded and rude with his delivery. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions but with him being a self-proclaimed expert, his opinion is sometimes treated as a fact when it shouldn't be. He doesn't seem to be open-minded towards the diverse takes on fried chicken. There's a distinct difference between being rude and tactless and being genuine and honest. I couldn't enjoy the video because his attitude was incredibly annoying.

They ain't a "chicken connoisseur" if they've never had every type of fried chicken.

I love how they dine with world starts but this guy is the one that makes them nervous XD

I much prefer Mr Z's energy, as it's more on the same level as Josh and Ollie. This video just feels awkward asf.

I absolutely love ollie everytime he dissed a british musician / band, it's just an on-point perfect roast

Thanks Ollie - you saved this episode. The guest is a little full - of himself - and determined not to be impressed. We all enjoy a little ribbing but the juvenility of this guest makes it such a turn-off. Looking forward to your next videos! Jolly ho!

솔직한 리뷰 너무 재밌게 봤어요!!전문가님이 좋아하시는 치킨은 진짜 맛있을 거 같아서 먹어보고 싶어요ㅠ😭🍗

Ollie’s jokes are so on point with this one 😂
