Following Instructions from Nick DiGiovanni (Popeyes Chicken Sandwich) 

This man is the living example why lighting is so important for cooking videos

do you personally go the farm to pick the grossest looking chicken, or do you breed them yourself?

the ingredients you use makes my struggling family look rich, thank you

To all the people wondering about the chicken. Its probably influenced to a large degree by lighting. They even use special lights at butcher stores to make the stuff look less wack which isn't reproducible at home unless you have a studio kitchen. (Not to say that even under perfect conditions it still wouldn't look weird, but from my experience bad chicken is slimy. A darker color usually indicates the chicken was older at time of death)

I'd be shaking in my boots if I was in a usage of wacky ingredients competition against FutureCanoe

It's nice to see you getting bigger everyday and still using close to death ingredients like us poors.

Wait, did Nick's OG recipe really say making an aioli and then proceed to not use any garlic? Like, the main ingredient. This is just herby mayo. wtf.

in your defense, chicken thighs are fattier than chicken breast, thus being significantly juicier. So i dont think you messed up- i actually think your analysis was spot on as to the difference between nick's recipe and popeye's recipe

You know, I wasn’t concerned about the chicken cause I was blaming it on lighting, but THAT MILK? I can’t let that slide😭

"Thighs over breasts" A man of culture indeed.

In Mexico the chicken looks more yellowish than white too, and that is cause it’s fresh from the carnecería/mercado.

exactly the amount of effort i can relate to when trying out youtube recipes.

this guys channel is the epitome of expectations vs reality

bro clumps and chunks in butter milk is not normal lmfao

Did he make some Aioli without garlic ? After checking, yes Nick indeed made some "aioli" without garlic, which means he didn't make an aioli at all but just "boosted" his mayo.

The bacon egg and cheese side quest was beautiful.

I'm glad I discovered you before your channel blows up. You're a gem of an entertainer my dude.

Oh, he didn't mention it, but the secret to every Popeyes chicken, is making sure it's undercooked, making it an experience no customer will forget

Your frying method cools down the oil when you drop the pieces in, a fryer keeps the oil at temp as long is it isn't overfilled so that's why his chicken is crispier.

Bro your sandwich literally looked better than Nick's, also his batter completely fell apart while doing his cross section lol

hi futurecanoe :) i just wanted to say that i LOVE ur vids, ur HUMOR makes the cooking process so much LESS intimidating and MUCH MORE FUN AND the way u cook is REALISTIC and what a normal household kitchen would ACTUALLY look like, i REALLY appreciate the realism of ur cooking and ur funny humor and i look forward to approaching cooking with more acquired skills from watching YOU and to ENJOY cooking MORE, ty futurecanoe, take care of urself PLS :) 💖

The sound that the bread let out when you punched it 💀

This one was so good, the Instagram REFUSED to believe he made it

Im so happy dat this channel is growing

Its always a great day when Future Canoe uploads

Favorite thing about this is that you actually see the color that most people will see since you don't have tons of studio lights everywhere

For reference, Nick's looks crispier because he sprinkled the wet into the dry to make little beads/clumps of batter, I think he also double dredged but just didn't say or do so in the guide itself... Pretty sneaky Nick.

The thank you at the end is always so wholesome

The only time I'll watch Nick or pretentious Adam, is when you cover their recipes. ❤️

I love this channel cause the food actually is realistic to what most of is make

Crazy you’re almost at 100k! Love seeing you grow!

8:37 I can’t stop laughing.

I'm impressed how accurately and consistently you pronounce Tangzhong

4:38 the sound effect 💀😂

Very unique sense of humor and great video!

this is the single greatest cooking/food channel ever made, I love your content bro, keep it up

3:58 this is the first video I seen with a good outcome so far

This guy always has at least one ingredient which is either close to expiration or totally out of date 💀

Bruh, I watched only 4 videos and I like it very much. I like to laugh a lot and cooking videos. You are the one I have been looking for. :D Subscribed!

I love these videos, youre sense of humor is great, love the jokes and memes.

Did the chicken get breast cancer before she died?!

love how he played radioactive while showing the comments about the chicken

happy 800 k subs! congrats!

8:23 blud says that like hes not 2 different people

"Mix it with my ligma fork" What the hell's a fork?

The only cooking show on youtube that makes me actively less hungry

my new favorite cooking channel

I am a cooking nerd so I wrote out the instructions for the brioche buns. Tangzhong: 2 tablespoons bread flour ¼ cup whole milk 2 tablespoons water Buns: ¾ cup whole milk (warm) 1 tablespoon active dry yeast 2½ tablespoons sugar 3¼ cups bread flour 1½ teaspoon kosher salt 1 large egg 1 egg yolk 3 tablespoons butter Egg wash: 1-2 tablespoons water 1 egg Make the Tangzhong: Combine the milk, water, and 2 tablespoons bread flour in a small saucepan, and whisk until no lumps remain. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring regularly, until thickened, paste-like, and the spoon or spatula leaves lines on the bottom of the pan. This should take 1 to 3 minutes, depending on the strength of your burner. Remove from the heat and set aside. Make the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the warm milk and sugar and stir to combine. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and then mix gently. Let it sit for about 5 minutes for the yeast to activate. Add 3½ cups of bread flour and salt. Mix on low until it becomes incorporated, then add 1 egg and 1 egg yolk. Let it mix until the egg is dispersed throughout the dough, scraping down the sides. Add the tangzhong and run the mixer on low. Slowly add in 3 tablespoons of butter while the mixer runs on low. Mix for about 10 minutes, until the dough is soft and smooth. Remove from the mixer bowl and shape unto a ball, tucking the sides under and smoothing it out. Put in a greased container and cover with a lid or damp towel. Put the bowl in a warm location, or use the bread proof setting on the oven. Let it rise for about 1-1½ hours, or doubled in size. Add some flour to a work surface and turn out the risen dough. Let it degas gently and shape it into an even log. Cut into 8 equal pieces with a bench scraper. Shape each piece of dough into a sphere by tucking the sides under, then lightly drag the dough towards you and rolling it until the shape is right. Place each sphere of dough on a baking sheet with a silicone mat. Cover them with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let them rest for 15-20 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F. Make the egg wash by whisking 1 egg with 1-2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Brush this onto the risen dough spheres. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for a few minutes and then serve warm. - I’m a vegetarian so I didn’t care about the chicken, and that garlicless aioli is weird. Hope this helps people make good buns.

Your chicken looks like the weird yellow filter old Chris Chan videos had

Bro why is this guy making me laugh every joke he makes😂😂

Slightly yellow chicken is usually from chickens breed on a more natural setting. In Spain we say they are pollo de corral. You know from chickens that weren't feed with so much chemical sh*t.

as someone who grew up keeping chicken and having a field I can explain why are his chicken breasts brown while digiovanis are white. 1st reason- professional lighting 2nd reason- race of the chicken 3rd reason- fresh/defrosted (we can see how this guy often drains his chicken which means its defrosted) 4th reason- most important one ,his chicken was fed with usage of Betacarotene supplement included chicken feed(you can see the same thing on beef ,if its fed with just grass its fat is white ,if its fed with feed which includes corn and betacatotene its fat is yellow )

I find it entertaining that anytime the green ingredient is unknown, it becomes defaulted to parsley

If you want crispier chicken, I recommend squeezing it more when battering. This tears the chicken, creating a bumpy texture and little lumps in the batter. This also tenderizes the chicken and makes the coating stick better.

My husband knows when I giggle I watch your video

I'm so dumb that I found it amazing when he started measuring the butter

Missed the song that's usually after tasting ... but loved watching it .

That bacon egg and cheese looked heavenly. So did the chicken, good job.

future canoe vids are the best

That chicken is so crispy, the crunch is going to break the sound barrier.

The chicken may not have tasted the best mainly because the buttermilk was beyond saving 🤣

2:05 aah there it is.

“X goin’ give it to you” has a new meaning 😂

Nice job team!

Nice job team

I came into this video expecting to hate it. But I ended up loving it 😂 You have earned my sub 👌

Signs of Spoiled or Bad Buttermilk Buttermilk tends to be a little thicker than milk and it naturally has tiny lumps in it, so it's good to shake it well. Pour some into a cup and look at its consistency. It should be smooth, but if it's really thick and has clumps or chunks, the buttermilk has gone bad.

I’ve been watching your vids whenever I feel hungry so I can immediately lose my appetite

I didn't know this for ages but dry cups and liquid cups are actually different amounts even though they're called the same. Like the difference between an ounce meaning weight and a fluid ounce. To measure fluids you need like a Pyrex

chicken has a defect in the muscle and makes it look like it has a wood grain. some chickens have it some dont, also the supplier from wherever youre getting it might be getting a deal buying the weird. its usually results in a tough and grainy texture. Also Subbed. you make good shit .

Great videos❤

oh wow that looks.. yummy..

finally a realistic fried chicken video, mine always turn out very similar to yours and not to the fake youtuber ones

It would be cool to see you making "brigadeiro" and "coxinha"

The outro song is such a vibe

6:59 the coating looks like that when you use starchy flour like tapioca or when I used rice flour

Yay! 🎉🎉🎉 how you doing canoe

Not sure if your camera lighting is bad, but that chicken looks like it had every disease in the world before it died.

finally, someone who’s cooking looks like my cooking

gordon saying "haiyaa" is the one thing i never knew i needed

bro doubting the chicken colour but he got that PREMIUM chicken

Theres something oddly satisfying to see his nails are clean and short. Defo a chef indeed

1:06 bro gonna make mustard gas💀💀💀

The "oh jeeze , ok" sent mr 😂🤣

The reason it doesn’t look as crispy as his is because of tapioca flour. If it was corn flour or taro flour it’ll be much crispier. Edit: I’m sure you edit these videos yourself so why not color-grade it a little bit to make the video look… less yellow? The overall coloring is what makes your chicken look like its gone off when it really isn’t.

Dude tries so hard to be clumsy level 1 home cook but his real level 99 chef skills trickles through when he improvises.

"Let my hand begin to mix." He is like me for real. 😂 I just don't use mixer cuz it is messy. 😂

that punch was smooth af

This channel quickly went from being funny to being damn impressive...

Bro knows how to cook, maybe he can be a chef.

I love his alright thank u

the crunch

the level of your cooking has improved greatly. im starting to think that someone else is cooking and youre just doing the voice over for the vids....

no taste test song and no ligma fork drop at the end :(

thank you for being one of the few people who pronounces tangzhong the way it's supposed to be pronounced.

Damn sir girls be simping over you on instagram but the feed on insta is amazing

7:59 is still top tier inspection

You didn’t drop the sandwich and then play a segment of a crappy happy pop song after you took a bite… I feel like I’ve been deprived of a necessity in life.

Daniel-E's picture was personal

This guy can write a perfect summary👍
