Making Raising Cane's Chicken Finger Combo At Home | But Better 

That “yes ma’am” set his opinion from the start

I feel like every secret sauce is just mayo and ketchup with a few minor tweaks

I am actually APPALLED that he didn’t make a whole loaf of bread from scratch just for the toast. Don’t know whether to be impressed or disappointed.

I’ve been working at Canes for 6 months and gotta say, when I first started I was surprised at how simple the process of food was made. Everything is done within minutes with the exception of the chicken in it’s “marinade” over night in the fridge. But it’s so easy to outdo, yet it’s still so good to me and everyone else I know. 😂

this man literally doesn’t like any food unless he makes it

Worker: "Yes, Ma'am." Joshua: And I took that personally.

There’s no way the bread tasted better than canes bread they are so different

I love that Josh tries to encourage viewers to make their own food (that taste better)and not rely on fast food joints FYI I love Canes too 😋

the “yes ma’am” killed me and brought me back to life and killed me again

Former canes employee here: the chicken is literally marinated in msg, salt and water over night. They have a seasoned flower and the batter is literally milk and eggs so it shouldn’t be too hard to make better. The sauce is the only thing we don’t know exactly what’s in it. We put mayo, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce in then add a pack of seasoning.

Man, I've had some of the fanciest and most popular fried chicken tenders from top notch places and I still think Raising Canes is at the top of my list. That sauce is spectacular and the toast you should ask to have buttered on both sides.

Just made and it is fuego! Thanks for the recipe!

"Let's make this, shall we?" Me: yes please Lady at the checkout: "YES MA'AM"

any fast food place * makes good food* Joshua: "disgraceful"

I followed along and made this. It really hit my stomach's gspot.

THANK YOU JOSH FOR EXISTING!! I was going to attempt to fry some chicken tonight that could resemble somewhat of Raisin Canes chicken.😅 I hopped on RU-vid and I was not let down by this video. I now have more confidence to recreate your version. You are a Gold🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

"I hate every piece of food that I haven't made myself" -Joshua

“Yes m’am” 😂😂😂IM DEAD THERE IS NO WAY

Your film crew and editors are on point! Love watching your stuff

I’ve always thought this series should be called “But Michelin” 😂 love your content!! Always looking forward to the next episode

i love how high his standards are, i can’t blame him cuz obviously he’s had only the bestest foods ever but for me canes is like a holy grail lol

I made this for my boyfriend, and all he kept saying was”oh my god” and “I’m glad we’re dating.” 😂😂😂 and my fries somehow ended up tasting like Five Guys. I’ll take it.

We made this recipe tonight, except for the coleslaw. Nobody here eats it. It was fantastic! Tasted so much better than Raising Cane’s. I highly recommend this recipe for you and yours. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Josh is introducing me to fast food joints i have not heard or any idea of.

Seriously though, if you ever get a restaurant that has a "secret sauce" Its just a variation of Thousand Island. That's it.

the restaurant he went to is slacking cuz every time i go the chicken is juicy and crispy and the fries are always done well

If you make everything better than the actual restaurants you definitely should start your own restaurant fr I’m pretty sure it’s gon be successful 🔥

I love that you have a “fry kitty”, I have one & love it! I’m making this tonight!

You can’t keep getting away with this Joshua

Raising Canes won because you didn’t do crinkle cut fries you monster

I just finished preparing this for tomorrows dinner I’m so excited !!!

The fact that you have cambros in your home kitchen makes me happy.

As someone who use to work at Cane's in the kitchen, these were made pretty similarly to how canes is, save for a few differences. The coleslaw was almost completely different, but for the rest the only differences were the type of bread used (which is admittedly a pretty big difference, but I personally prefer a softer bread) for the toast, putting salt on the toast, the fries being fresh rather than frozen (and not crinkle cut), and the breading on the chicken having seasoning mixed into the flour rather than it being plain. The canes sauce is also pretty accurate. We're not sure what exact spices are mixed in, as that part comes premixed so as not to ruin the secret or whatever, but when mixing canes sauce you do mix mayo, ketchup, and either mustard or Worcestershire sauce (I can't remember which, the front counter people would usually mix the cane's sauce at my location).The chicken at Cane's would be also be left in brine for at least 24 hours, then dipped in a bath of egg and milk right before breading and frying, rather than that being somewhat mixed into the same step, so that's another difference. But yeah, overall not too far off from how things are actually made at cane's. Also if I had to guess why your chicken came out dry it would probably be because they dropped larger batches of chicken to accommodate for the rush, so there was less care put into the individual tenders. The fries were probably floppy because you had gotten takeout and the heat got trapped in the box, the condensation making the fries soggy. We would actually have to throw out the food if the chicken was left standing for 5 minutes and if the fries were left standing for 3. I can confirm that when we would put the fries and chicken into the trays and takeout boxes that they would be so fresh that our hands would be burning lol. We had this trick of slapping our hands together really hard so that they'd be numb for handling the hot, fresh out of the fryer food. To this day I feel like I have heat resistance in my hands because of how much scalding food I would handle, and I only worked there for a year. But yeah, I agree that Cane's isn't what it's hyped up to be, purely because I want to be able to enjoy my food without burning my mouth on it lol.

"let's talk chicken tendies" = my fav topic of conversation

I ordered and ate an entire box combo while watching this guy make a 3 piece combo.

Im making this rn and its so goood .

I like how you can kinda tell he was “salty boys” about the YES MA’AM because he went ALL out on this video😂

Joshua- "God these fries, who goes through the drive through to get this" me: *raises hand*

I substituted the white pepper for black & fried it in avocado oil instead since I didn’t have anything else. You know it’s a good recipe when you can make substitutions and it still tastes great

He literally took “Is this what you mortals eat” to a whole another level

Lady at the checkout: yes ma'am Josh: everything is disgusting "stomps on bread" Cane's definitely didn't stand a chance after that lol

“Yes ma’am” Ah yes, Jordan Weissman is my favorite goddess

The man almost everyone wants to cook for them

Thie was an amazing video to watch in my free time and nice thumbnail Joshua :)

"ALL FOODS THAT WERE NOT MADE BY THESE HANDS IS GARBAGE." - Joshua Weissman

i'm from a remote scottish island. we don't have chain restaurants, never mind american ones. not a clue how this compares to the original, but i've enjoyed recreating them so far. cheers!

That “YESS MAMMM, WOOOOO” got me. Instantly deserves a like on the video

this man is on like a million hitlists from every fast food company ever

Can you do a tour of your kitchen, and a list of must have spices, supplies and such to have at all times for recipes. And how you organize everything, I personally would find the video very interesting!

me, sitting on my floor eating week old popcorn: "yeah i could probably make that"

I just showed this video to my 4yo child and i have never heard her laugh so hard. Thanks Josh

I just made this and it was amazing 🤩

At this point, you’re just aiming to piss off every fast food company in existence 😭

I certainly don't doubt yours is better. But I gotta say I've never had dry or underseasoned chicken from Canes. Whenever I want chicken tenders Canes is where I always go because its always juicy and well seasoned.

Sooo I’ve never had raising canes but last night I had a dream about trying it and now I see this video in my recommended. Is this a sign? (٥⁀▽⁀ )

Hey Josh, I'm a line cook and I just thought of something you should include in your videos, because it would really help them know how we work. When people are making these dinners, it would be helpful to say how long into cooking one thing you should start another so that it comes out all at the same time. You're a rock star. Love from DC.

As someone with a Raising Cane's on my college campus, I'm heavily sobbing when you said "ITS NOT EVEN THAT GOOD"

“Around these parts, we don’t believe in secrets...” YOU’LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE

I work at canes and bruh, this is more authentic than anything I’ve seen there lmao

That carrots and ranch analogy makes so much sense

“almost identical actually, only mines better because-“ yes yes josh, we get it, it’s better cus it’s urs

Here's a Cane's tip: ask for no slaw extra peice of toast.

Regarding the secret sauce, I actually tasted a bit of spicy ranch in it, though it has been a while. As for the Texas toast, I actually like the fluffiness of it, and there’s less crumbs that way. But I will agree with you on the huge lines. Last year, whenever I drove past the restaurant, there was almost always a line all around the restaurant, to the point where I joked that some of those cars are just there for show.

I’m finna steal his recipes for my new fast food 👍

Joshua: * roasts the whole entire meal* Also Joshua: "it's not bad"

As a texan.... Yeah I kinda do want to be known for cane's bread. That pillow of bread. Like savory cotton candy. I'll die on this hill.

Made it with family thank delicious!

Definitely gonna cook this one on my mum's birthday!❤🎉

I like everything except the toast. I find the soft “toast” to be very good with the whole meal. The softness goes well with the sauce and chicken

Can someone explain to me when Josh got so confident saying “Worcestershire Sauce”? Has someone been practicing in the mirror?!

After a year and I’ve just seen this masterpiece Oml imma cook this everyday

Mamacita, I tried it today and lemme tell you it was a HIT💃🏻

A lot of commenters here seem to be missing the point. The name of this series of videos is "But Better". If you're looking for good food made cheap, he has another series for that as well (But Cheaper). Also, some people don't seem to realize that once you start learning to cook and get pretty good at making your favorite restaurant menu items, you might feel that it's no longer worth buying from the restaurant itself. These days the only (good quality) restaurants I actually buy from are just the small local ones that need the business to survive. Edit: if anyone recalls from the "Doritos, but better" video, it was determined that his homemade Doritos were only marginally better, and not at all worth the effort to make. Fried chicken and fries are infinitely easier by comparison, and absolutely worth making yourself.

THIS IS HOW YOU SHOULD ORDER CANE'S: - Caniac Combo, extra crispy chicken and extra crispy fries - Swap coleslaw for an extra piece of toast with Butter On Both Sides So tasty 😋 🍗

The carrot and ranch analogy was perfect

Woah, I had it for the first time a few weeks ago and it looked nothing like that. Personally didn’t eat the cole slaw because my wife’s cousin-in-law ordered an extra toast instead. But the fries were not crinkle cut and also the chicken was not dry at all for us. They probably saw your video and improved their recipe lol

last time i was this early josh still showed some mercy

I work at canes. I highly recommend sitting inside the restaurant and eating it there when they serve it on platters. I would say it is a very different experience. The box we serve it in steams all the food from its own freshness making it it’s own worst enemy. When it is on a platter the steam is allowed to escape giving you crispier fries and chicken, and keeps the toast from going mushy. Regarding the coleslaw: I don’t know why we serve it. I think it’s nasty. Luckily we have an option to sub it out for more toast, fries, or sauce. (I prefer toast) Please do this when the pandemic is over. Stay safe.

Joshua you’re my hero

canes is a rare delicacy for me so seeing this vid broke my heart

I literally just had Raising Canes for the first time the other day. That’s crazy you knew and then made this episode. It was clearly because of me, so you’re welcome everyone

This guy's expects the teenage fast food workers to be creating Gordon Ramsay levels of food.

I always forget why I come back to this one. Then as soon as it gets to "Yes Ma'am!" you better believe I remember pretty quick.

He is a professional cook and canes is fast food. You can not be too harsh ❤😂🤣😂🤣

This is an adult swim show with legit cooking advice. 🏆

Joshua: "I'm making money off this and I don't even want to come here." Also Joshua "I would come here for this cool dog."

it got so much better now

Made this tonight and my and the fiancé loved it

DUDE HOW DO YOU BEAT ME EVERY MF TIME

"Slice that bad boy about 1 inch thicc" *proceeds to cut a slice the actual size of texas*

I just made this and its the best thing i have ever made ong

Believe it or not I only watch his videos for his commentary I don't really use the recipe but his commentary is so entertaining😂😂

Critiques literally everything in the box “This is actually not that bad”

Some valuable knowledge: You can order an extra sauce, toast, or fries at canes instead of the coleslaw

I love that cole slaw...and it's all amazing

Probably the only man who can make me eat coleslaw

I love how Vikram has been progressively leaning into the shenanigans more and more each episode. This was a Vikram appreciation comment.

I think this series should be called “but with fresher ingredients and not with 50 cars waiting in line to get one”

Canes honey mustard sauce is really good. I heard they make their own.

the cole slaw toss at the end was personal
