Making The Chick-Fil-A Chicken Sandwich At Home | But Better 

As a actually Chick-fil-A employee I can confirm we do go home and just die.

I want a series called “even better” where josh tries to one up his own recipes.

If this dude ever has kids imagine them hearing “we Have food at home”

after that bite, he went to flavor blast heaven, "where am i? hello? Mama?" that cracked me up more then it should have and I WAS IN CLASS!

He makes them look like an expectation vs reality meme

Lets just appreciate the fact that Joshua actually cut a tiny piece of pickel for the center, just to comfort his body. Gotta love that man

I made just the chicken part of this, served it with slaw and elotes salad, and my husband got down on one knee and proposed to me again. We’ve been married for 39 years, that is HOW GOOD this chicken is! That idea of putting a bit of the buttermilk in the flour dredge is brilliant. Thank you Joshua!

I finally got around to making this this evening. I didn't do the homemade buns because I have a surplus of Braum's sesame seed buns on hand, nor the pickles because I didn't want pickles. I used a Cain's-style sauce and some smoked gouda. Incredible, thanks for the recipe! Although next time I think I'm going to cut the salt and MSG in half - it's too salty for my taste.

5:08 that last “G” note had no business being that graceful

“Remove your chicken using a spider.” *looks at spider on my wall, you heard the man we gotta do what we gotta do.

I love that "MAMA" echo at the end. God knows how many times I replay that moment.

you are so much fun to watch, i wanna try ALL of your version of EVERYTHING! and i will, thanks.

He posted this on Sunday, which is perfect since Chick-Fl-A isn’t open today. Thank you! 🤤❤️

As a Chick-fil-A employee, I speak for almost every employee out there that being nice all day is exhausting. Also, legendary that you posted this on a Sunday

Watching this video again almost a year later, it’s insane how far his videos have come. Keep up the good work, JW!

Wow😍watching this while I have COVID and still have an appetite for your better recipes🥰

Me: Can we get Chick-fil-A? Joshua: No we have Chick-fil-A at home Me: Sounds good to me 👍🏻

“Two lazily placed pickles” The Chick-fil-A employee that made this sandwich: *looks and points at self in mirror while crying* YOU CAN DO BETTER.

As someone who works in the kitchen at cfa the thing we use to toast the buns don’t work without these flap things that we have to replace all the time. But when it does work they toast the buns very good

Why do I watch this when I’m fasting, the world may never know

Just made them tonight. Some notes! -I made half of the flour mixture for the breading and it was still plenty for five thighs (I’ve found that this is the case for a lot of fried foods-the recipe typically calls for too much flour dredge) -I’ve made Josh’s buns twice before this and they always end up gigantic, which is alright, but this time I opted to make eight buns instead of six and ended up with some more “normal sized” buns. I recommend doing this, but I understand preferring the big ones as well. -More of a side note, but I don’t have a stand mixer and was able to make these buns by hand (kneading is kind of a pain in the ass but totally worth it). Seriously, even if you’ve never made bread before, I highly recommend giving these a shot -Toast your damn buns spread with soft butter in a pan. Seriously, a toasted bun is like ten times better than an I untoasted one -TJ wasn’t lying-those pickles take this to the next level. The MSG is awesome! If you’re having trouble finding it, look for “Accent” which is a brand of MSG that doesn’t say MSG anywhere on the container other than the ingredients list-it can be found in most grocery stores -I’ve been taking a page out of Kenji’s book and frying in my wok lately, and I can highly recommend it. It uses less oil than something like a dutch oven -I opted to make Josh’s Chick-Fil-A sauce instead of this mustard-mayo, and I opted to add a bit of cayenne for some heat-I suggest you do the same if you’re going to make this sauce -Finally, I decided to add a slice of pepperjack cheese to my sandwich, and while unnecessary, it was awesome Seriously though, give this one a try. It makes a mean fried chicken sandwich.

I still laugh thinking about the time they said “yes ma’am” to you at the drive through 😆

You are a warrior my friend! Just made these and they were amazing

I love the comdy on the vids man keep it up 👍🏻

As a former CFA employee, I can confirm that yes, the urge to throw up after being so nice all day was real.

Every fast food restaurant in Joshua’s town which hasn’t been destroyed yet is literally sweating, just waiting on their day on “but better.”

Looks delicious! Will have to try on Sunday!

Dude!!!! Those pickles are amazing! I added a little celery seed to the second batch (bc the first batch didn't last 24 hours LoL), and they're perfect!!!!

Does anyone else shake their head while Josh eats his version knowing how good it tastes even though you cant taste it

“When they go home they probably throw up from having to be so nice” as a Chick employee myself I can tell you it gets real close my guy

Joshua, a professional chef, has once again slam dunked on a minimum wage earning high schooler

as somebody who works at a chick fil a, it is very hard to not lash out at those people who are disrespectful to you for a little mistake like forgetting 1 sauce. i almost feel as if people take advantage of how nice we are. we will always be nice to everybody but please be respectful to those who stand out in the rain and cold just for you to receive that chicken sandwich and fries.

Now all we need is for Papa to open a restaurant and we're GOOD... we call it... Papa's Kitchen.

As a former CFA employee- yes, after every shift we go home and get violently ill from being forced to be extremely nice

thnak for every thing you do.

I love this channel and his recipes

I don’t get it when people say “we” go crazy for that plain chicken sandwich like NOOOO we go crazy over the spicy chicken deluxe

The way Joshua acts in his videos feels like he’s giving a presentation with his best friends in high school and he’s just messing around

Just Started Watching This Dude and he is Such a VIBE 😂 🙌🏽💜

My mouth is watering I must make this ❤

I passed by my Local Chick-fil-A in the Portland area and after seeing the lines, I sure you could make this at home faster than getting through the drive through.

I like how he posted the video on a Sunday while everyone knows they’re closed on that day.

This is awesome. I’d like to see a spicy filet sandwich. I usually get at chick fil a spicy sandwich with pepper-jack cheese, and pickles then add Texas Pete butter mix to the buns.

Sir I love chick fila but I think it’s amazing each time you do a video it’s funny, the food looks amazing.

Imagine having such a godly crunch that you're suddenly in a different universe.

Me as a 10 yr old: Gotta wake up early to watch Saturday morning cartoons! Me as a 33 yr old: Gotta wake up early to watch papa make yummy foods!

I’m literally buying everything and making this today. 💀💀💀💀

At its core Chick Fil A is a fast food restaurant so it needs to be quick, tasty, and most importantly affordable. And the Chick Fil A sandwich fulfils all those excellently paired with the nicest service you can get at a fast food place. But naturally as with all things if its not a 5 star restaurant that cooks meals to order perfectly then home made will always be better.

5:08 that “MSG” sound was just..👌😍. Way too perfect and that g note was the icing on the cake.

I heard “brown white pepper” and had to really think about what you wanted from me for a moment there

Dude I just discovered your channel and your personality is, as you would say, chef kiss 👌😚👨‍🍳

Him leaving with the sandwich was satisfying 😂 I’m always like “i would take that with me “

josh literally throws the bags of food on the counter, just so when he pulls out the food he can comment about how its all beaten up 😂

I worked at CFA and they didn’t make that sandwich right 😂 both buns are supposed to be toasted and buttered and the pickles are supposed to be close to each other but not touching

I like how josh did his chick-fil-a chicken sandwich so well on this video :)

looks so good

I made this about 2 weeks ago and I'm still thinking about how good this was. I feel like I could add this to my weekly menu and not get tired of it.

As a former CFA employee, I can tell you that per my former manager, we had to serve 105 cars within our drive thru for the lunch hour (12 pm - 1 pm) so speed in the drive thru is something that CFA wants engrained into their identity. We failed the day if we didn’t reach that goal 🤷🏽‍♂️

I agree Josh I add sauce when I eat that sandwich lol

PLEASE make a series, videos, or a class of recipes we can make for dinner! I have your cookbook but I would love a series or class where you could teach starting from basic to chef at home! I have been trying to make a dinner that would leave my boyfriend asking me to make it again and haven't yet! PLEASE! Thank you! -Lexsie

“MSG is the king of flavor” -Uncle Roger

are we really not gonna talk about the raw TALENT that popped out at 5:08

Yes

Just made this and boy it is fire🍔🍔🍔 my family loved loved this

You've taught me to look at food a different way and it's helped me lose over 30 lbs now (I've been obese most of my life). Your videos are beautiful and your hard work shows. Thank you Joshua.

As a los pollos hermanos employee, I can confirm this. When we mess up, Mr. Fring just smiles at us and stares for a long time and when we get home, our apartment has been mysteriously cleaned and straightened with a note on our bed that says “sleep very very very well”. We’d much rather be yelled at, trust me.

I'm so jealous of your kitchen!!

Dude love your humor 😂

“When all the chic fil a employees go home they just throw up from being nice all the time”. Yes this very accurate, I get home and I don’t even want to talk to anyone for a straight hour. 😂

I love how he’s re-creating a famous fast food sandwich all while wearing a Rolex Milgauss. Flexin’ on us hard, PaPa.

I followed the recipe for the chicken and it was very good and did in fact taste like chic fil a. I didnt use MSG as i couldnt find any on hand

I love the fact this man shows exactly how to make it like he did

That jar of MSG dill pickles looks like a piece of art.

“I have nothing to say” and then says everything u could possibly say about the sandwich

Looks so good my dad an I are going to cook this 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Slowly becoming my favorite RU-vid Channel.

netflix: are you still watching? someone's daughter: 7:47

Josh to literally any food chain in his vicinity: “I am the danger”, “I am the one who knocks”

Tried this recipe with cauliflower instead of chicken and oh my. Delicious

The way he just threw the sandwich down put tears in my eyes 🥹

Me: Chick-Fil-A Sandwich is god-tier and I'd wait in line for hours Josh: This sandwich is garbage Me: Absolute garbage

I love how josh manages to make burgers look like the burger on fast food restaurant ads. He makes them look like an expectation vs reality meme lol

Just made this (chicken only) and it was really good, it wasn’t as spicy, so next time I’ll add double the paprika. I also didn’t have MSG, so I didn’t add it. I give it a thumbs up!!

Trying this tonight hopefully it’s a hit!!! More to come…

Me: Didn't he do this already? Josh: NOPE, but I got you fam. Uncle Roger: Okay. Okay.

“G*ddammit I hate that they’re so nice” 😂😂

Only thing i would change is half flour half potato starch. Super crispy!!

I order it evry time and put mayo on it I get it with waffle fries and a sweet tea and it slaps to me

"no sauce" ..... that's why you can ask for all of the different sauces they have there

I loved the little cucumber running away with the "bye" on it as Josh said Bye, props to whoever edited this :-D

Bless up🙏🏾❤️

As a Chick-fil-A employee, I can confirm we do in fact throw up when we get home

He’s slowly getting more crazy the curlier his hair gets

We’re coming for you, Josh.

Keep the good funy work

I love chicken sandwiches or these kinds of burgers but never tried a chik Fila though but might make that to try

*josh making a chicken sandwich* "Okay so we're gonna start by growing our own wheat and raising our own chicken"

Joshua uploading is like Christmas Day all over again

I love Chick-Fil-A and nothing can ever take that away

I don’t know bro the chicfila sandwich ESPECIALLY the spicy one is the most legendary sandwich ever made, your sandwich needs to be beyond godly to top that
