Cooking with Kevin Gillespie: The Chick-fil-A Inspired "Closed-on-Sunday Chicken Sandwich" 

I work for him at his new resturant Revival in Decatur GA. He is the definition of passionate.

All i can say is wooooooowwww you guys hit the nail on the head with this it taste just like Chick-fil-A, my family loved it so much they asked me to never buy them Chick-fil-A again.....Thank you for the recipe

It is clear Kevin, that a lot of love and a lot of effort went into this recipe...you had your trials and errors and looks like you have come up with a winner on this. I WILL try my hand at it. THANK YOU.

Goes to show how amazing Chik fil a is by them allowing this to be put forth on their RU-vid page. Nice

One of my favorite chefs from Top Chef, so I know he knows what he’s talking about.

Ok...I followed this exactly. And they were delicious!!!!! Nailed it! I'm a mom of 5 boys plus my husband and they each LOVED it! New sub! Thank u very much!!!

I'm in England and i have been craving some Chick-fil-A. I'm looking forward to trying this. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Great recipe Kevin!. Happy I found your channel. I just subscribed, it`s refreshing to find a chef we can all relate to. just common good people like us. I think I saw you on a tv show a couple of years ago.

This guy is really good. He should have his own show. Very easy to follow, clear, and to the point.

Thanks will try this looks amazing and yummy!!

This looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!

I LOOOVEEE Chick-Fil-A sandwiches. I enjoyed watching this and drooling on my keyboard.

I can't wait to try it! Since it's always "Sunday" here since we don't have a chick fil a here, haha. T^T

Kevin made the absolute best chicken sandwiches I've ever eaten at the Top Chef Duels Chase Sapphire party. Is this the same recipe because if so I am going to the supermarket right now

I gotta try it with the dry ranch seasoning

Real American Hero for putting this recipe together.

Chef Gillespie, thank you for producing such a helpful video. I have a question though. I noticed you used Espelette pepper and wonder if Aleppo be an acceptable substitute?

Looks like a great recipe.

I don't know about the original chick-fil-a sandwich, but the previous grilled sandwich before they changed their recipe was absolutely marinated in pickle juice with other spices

These look amazing!! If I don't have a deep fryer can I use a cast iron skillet? It's fairly deep but I still think I'd have to turn them once. I can't wait to try this soon!

THANK YOU

Chick FIla uses MSG and sugar in their breading which is why it tastes so good. Add these to your recipe. Also the chicken is pressure cooked like KFC original chicken. This gives you the texture you are desiring.

I didn't know Jim James from My Morning Jacket also was a restaurant owner..

Sweet Hawaiian buns with honey butter and hot sauce, pickle mayo sounds delish, but I don't think you can call it a Chic-Fil-A knockoff.

Maybe my taste pallete is different, but I never got "sweet" out of Chick Fil A. More savory.

Can this be fried in a iron skillet?

Any chance of you posting all of the amounts of the ingredients?

Just great !!! Just made it on sunday its better CHNFA

This recipe looks amazing! But... they should be cooked in a pressure cooker with peanut oil. :-)

I have brined my chicken breast fillets for around 24 hrs. before and they didn't turn to mush.

They use an egg wash. I hope the rest in on point I want to try it

for the original CFA sandwich the chicken is not soaked in anything. Pickle juice is not used in the making of the chicken. It's a normal 3oz chicken breast dipped in milk wash and then coated with a flour mix. And that's it. Now to figure out the spices in that flour mix is a bit tricky; I have found that flour mixed with salt, sugar, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne is pretty close to it.

Measurements?

where is the recipe?

I'm certain this is a great chicken sandwich, but I would be shocked if it is anything like the genuine article. CFA's real recipe is pretty simple and you can get very close to it using a simple mix of flour, salt, pepper and confectioner's sugar for the breading, after a simple egg wash.

if you live in georgia. vist kevins returant revival for the sandwich.

Has anyone made this recipe?

Gotta have chick-fil-a sauce stashed in the refrigerator

Wish there was a written recipe for this.

That is my uncle ask himmmmmmmm

What's the point of the honey?

Wonder how this would taste without the pickle juice in the brine. I hate pickles/juice

Wait...this is on the official Chik Fil A youtube channel? Why would they want people to copy their recipe?

This should be cooked in Peanut Oil

how much salt...........

you forgot to add a cup of milk

You forgot eggs and milk

Bruh... U doin WAY Too much here lol

You still use tap water?!!!🥵

Chick fil a tastes like KFC with less salt

I work at Chick-fil-A.... srry man not even close.

uhh they use peanut oil....facepalm this entire recipe

Far off

Chick fil a is garbage. I just make it at home and is never soggy, with wilted lettuce
