I bought a big bucket of fried chicken, but I really do prefer a pie - so I took it all home and used the takeaway as the starting ingredients for a family-sized chicken and sweetcorn pie
i thought you might just use some leftover KFC chicken scraps to make a filling for chicken pie, but you actually used every last bit of that entire meal. how could i have ever doubted the legendary Atomic Shrimp? your channel is one of the best
Wow, Going back in the time capsule of RU-vid and watching one of Mike's 4 year old videos, you can see (and hear) the amazing improvements in Mike's videos. Sound Quality, Video Quality and production values overall have improved hugely, but even this older video still has the really interesting core of 'create problem solving to self imposed challenges' that many of Mike's newer videos follow. Still a fantastic watch. Keep up the good work!
Seeing you cook so much with a wide variety of things from fast food to wild mushrooms has really inspired to me to learn to cook myself and try new things. Your channel is full of interesting inspiration
This reminds me of how I'd deal with Thanksgiving leftovers. My housemates used to call it "the fortress of turkitude": Cut up leftover turkey and mix with any corn and green bean casserole left over, then layer it in the bottom of a glass baking dish and drizzle leftover gravy over it. Over the top of that, sprinkle with crispy fried onions (if they were any - and there usually were, since they're a typical topping for green bean casserole). Then top with mashed potatoes and, lastly, whatever stuffing was left. Pop into a 350F oven for about 45 minutes.
I've seen dozens and dozens of your videos and I keep coming back to this. It might be my favourite. Just something about the rough-and-ready approach of the production, and the funny yet interesting concept of the pie!
This is one of your few videos I hadn't even see yet The ingenuity of this is remarkable I referred to you in one of my other comments as a "Crazy Scientist" and this idea takes the biscuit! This will be hard to top lol Just Brilliant
I'm still at the end of the video trying to work out the inspiration for this! I have seen other clips of people incorporating takeaway's into a meal to some extent but not nearly as transformative as this and also need to give an e chef kiss to the name you gave it.
The part I love the most, in this video, is the utter absence of fear. The result has no other choice than to be excellent... to the extent of the ingredients for the execution is flawless. 😻
Absolute legend! Brilliant. I absolutely love this channel! I’ve cooked the shepherds pie recipe, bangers and mash AND Welsh rarebit already! Absolutely delicious recipes! Really good. Please keep up the great work! 😁🥰
BLODDY BRILLIANT using the skin n french fries!!! I freaken love this!!! Ive resourced my KFC for chicken pot pies or butter chicken or chicken noodles, or chicken salad, ive used the skin to cook in my sauces..then i just lift the skin out after I've gotten all the flavor out of it..never crossed my mind to boil the bones n bits with sn onion n seasoning to make a broth. That casserole looked AMAZING! ..all i thought of how incredible that topping had to taste..thank you so much! ! This is a really great recipe! !
Whenever I use stock for making gravy I make a roux/bechamel first and add the stock as needed ^.^ If I didn't use enough flour to begin with (I prefer using to little to begin with anywho, since running out of milk/stock sucks) I'll add some cornstarch mixed with water to thicken. The pie looked great btw, and great use of the bones! I seriously need to get better at using bones and making my own stock instead of using cubes 😁 It was also great to see you left the skin on the onions - When you use a sieve there's no reason to peel it, especially when it's clean like that. When I boil "red sausages" (if you google Rød Pølse you can find an english wiki for them 😅) I add peppercorns, onions and vinegar to the water to help make them taste better ^.^
Personally I'd be furious if someone did this to my KFC meal- I love my Zinger burgers. You are however very, very creative and remind me of the Father in the Coraline movie.
Strange. I have watched and subscribed since the Altair 8800 episode, but suddenly RU-vid recommend this. I don't regret it though, it was a nice episode.
Normally you go to KFC or something like that, to save time in the kitchen. But I like what you did, won't do the same though, but it was nice to look at. I sometimes mix eggs with crisps, no need for salt or pepper, the crisps are already seasoned, I just stamp them to almost powder. Mixing some crumbled potatoes through, extra. And some crumbed meat (mince). Then some flower for making bread. Everything mixed together, in a mold, in the oven, there is my version of a "meatloaf" The seasoned crisps are basically the question what kind of flavour you wanna have for the loaf, because the seasoning is quite hefty on it own. I love your channel, especially where you try to save money. Like the 1 pound 1 day 3 meals thing. Except, I would like to see you doing it WITHOUT the extra stuff supposable free like butter, mayonaise, curry patches...
Mashed potato is good for thickening gravy. Because the consistency of KFC gravy is variable, when I used to have KFC with gravy (before the heart attack & quad bypass :( I'd get a small potato & gravy as well. Dump that into the gravy & it thickens it up nicely. I have frozen mashed potato in my freezer, but instant would also work (more than likely what KFC uses anyway).
I love how I sat through the whole video of you buying it and making it, with so much buildup as to what the end result will be and wanting to hear your detailed thoughts on the taste Then to get to the end just for you to say; "It's good. That's all I need to say about that, bye" That literally made me belly laugh haha :')
Good lord that's pure filth... and I love it! Looks far less greasy than a normal KFC too. 10/10. Enjoying loads of your content at the moment. Thank you!
@@aaronm.5063 Just use your imagination. Start with a crockpot. You saw how he made the stock. Just buy some extra broth for volume and put the veg in. I usually use mushrooms, onions and spinach. You can add your faves. Once the vegs are getting tender, add seasonings along with the chicken. If you buy the mashed potatoes, add those too, because they'll thicken the soup if you like it like that. Add noodles, whatever you like. The sky's the limit. Not much use for the skin and coating though, so munch on it or just get the baked stuff.
Next, fish out the onion bits from what remains, boil all the bones again for several hours. Then put the whole lot into a very strong blender like a Vitamix till it's liquid, and it makes a wonderful supplement for dog food. I call it sludge and my dogs love it. Eva will too. All the salt and fat are out from the first boiling, so it's all nutrients. I usually add a bunch more veggies to that second boil - sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, etc.
So I think you ought to revisit this experiment but instead of incorporating the fries into the crust, try using them as a starchy layer below the chicken - kind of a take on shepherd’s pie.
I wonder if you could do a version of this that's entirely kfc ingredients. Like instead of flour for the gravy, a handful of kfc biscuits that have been food processed into powder.
in the end, everything in that dish was just a KFC bucket + a jar of KFC gravy + water and onions to make the stock + the flour used to thicken the new gravy. So I'm guessing it's still around the same calories per serving as you'd get in a serving at KFC
chicken pot pie or turkey pot pie. I just love the recipes. Sadly went to get sheep kidney today for your steak and kidney pie and butcher said they are unobtainium. So now its just steak and leak pie without the pastry.
If you still want to try kidneys, go to a butcher shop in the weeks leading up to Easter and ask for lamb kidneys. They go through *so* many whole lambs then ad they may be willing to get a couple from their suppliers with the organs if they get advanced notice. Good luck.
Love your vids mate but all I really got from this video is that if boil the left overs from my KFC I will have a great gravy for my next roast. Not really complaining as that in itself is a great tip but... Can you imagine if I said to my kids.. "Daddy has made your monthly treat into..... A pie! Yes a pie with gravy!! and veg... Clever daddy". 😂😂 Crying kids and a slap from the missus for being pissed.
