Making the McDonald’s McChicken At Home | But Better 

Ayo, he ain't wrong

Agreed

🤨 agreed

I love his buns. But I also agree the sandwich is alright.

Papa is always juicy

That's my secret cap, I'm always coming

LMAO!!!

The last 27 seconds weren’t bad. It’s worth it coming back to see it now that you’ve had a break.

@@DanielBasham jeeeeeeeeeesus 😂😂😂Haha 😂

@@jonestraloma that’s what she said

Ya but McDonald's makes like a thousand per restaurant

@@akshatshrivastava7946 what is blud on about

@@Weavemoss frl

I don’t mean to sound rude but couldn’t you have done that without Weismann? And a lot sooner

@@gsl649 the thought never really occurred to me to try and make it, but when I saw his recipe, it inspired me to try.

Holy shit

5€ (about 6,20$) in Slovakia

Would love to see Josh do some content on cooking with off cuts or parts of animals that a lot of people dispose of. Making that kind of stuff taste good seems like sort of a new level in chef skill.

@@YouArePitiful pretty sure he has done that when making noodles by using bones or smth for the broth but u are probably talking about a dedicated video

Would also be nice to have an episode without cruelly slaughtered animals in it 🤩

@@TheLaurensLaurens No, dead slaughtered animals taste incredible !

@@TheLaurensLaurens ANIMALS ARE DELICIOUS! i will never eat a plant. They take longer to grow and harder to maintain. 😂

Those are facts though

I think you mean component. You are a proponent of pepper in mcchickens.

Lol, 'proponent'

finally someone noticed!

Component my man

I came just for this!! I was confused with the price lol it’s like $7 for one MCchicken in Canada!

as soon as he said little bit of spice i was like omg he's talking abt a jr chickennn hahah

How does the states not have a real mcchicken , they’re mcchicken is our JR chicken

@@jlowkey2221 Just a different name. I believe its a crispy chicken down here

@@jlowkey2221 also dont get too crazy, smaller mcchicken is the OG mcchicken. Canadian mcdonalds is a byproduct of the OG real ass american mcdonalds. Although our food standards are lower

Use the episode number as name :)

@@tristangroeneveld2249 i like it!

I support this, it’d be more personalized to josh than just a generic cookbook.

Glad someone pointed that out, rofl.

i came to the comments looking for this lol

hey, he could have sat at the drive thru window and ate them in his car... Edit: apparently it wasn't clear from the wording of my comment that i was making a joke, and that if he had sat there and ate them they wouldn't have actually been "to go" and it wouldn't have been as weird that he ordered something "to go" from a location that is quite clearly for people ordering food "to go".

@@grahamh1067 OR he could have boarded a rocket an ate them on the moon. What difference does it make to the drive thru person?

@@Advocata ok... i guess i will refrain from attempting a joke around you in the future, jeeze.

@ the theme of this video is him making it better then the Mc one so yes his making Mc food because it's the FUCKING THEME

Is there anything we can substitute for pork fat?

@@btb554 honestly instead of pork fat and chicken breast i went with chicken thigh because i didn't know where to find the fat, and it was perfect !

​@@mikaelstongedid you use celery powder or celery seed powder ?

@@tymiller5257 i used celery powder !! :)

@@JoshuaWeissman3.. i will shag ur nan

I’m in the us and the mcchicken at my local McDs is nearly 4$ by itself.

$2.19

$8 in Australia 😢

its the cost of the ingredients ,in US its easier/cheaper to find that stuff due to economy of scale and more lax laws on the growth of chickens/beef.

something ain't right in Australia. $2 for a hamburger, $4.75 for a cheeseburger

Mayonnaise?

You do know there isn't a mcchicken sauce right

Their mcchickens are the size of our chicken and cheese burgers.

another 80s (or earlier) kid feeling the pain at being called old indirectly?

I agree with you, rules like this make sense, of course you can cook better food if you have enough prep time, but fast food restaurants are suppose to take no more than half an hour to an hour at most, if not within a few minutes, it's because of that factor the food is as bland as he says

That would require actual effort on his end and also ruin the narrative he wants to go for.

i disagree

That last point is one I've considered ever since I watched. He'll pick up a fast food item and then let it sit for HOURS while he puts all this stuff together, including setting up the camera to refocus it and do more B-roll. Then he'll bring his personal friend onto the show to taste test his stuff which was made within the hour and sometimes still has steam coming off of it. Who probably receives a portion of the income for the video if they're also a part of staff... Wow, he likes everything you recently made over the 5 hour old take-out made by immigrants and the impoverished! Yippee! I know the food isn't perfect, but it's being made by people who make what he makes off of one video in book/merch sales and ad revenue alone in like... 4-12 months. Made for people who aren't really doing much better than the food service underclass and can't really afford the time or money to make anything from scratch anymore. Not to sound like a soy inhaling socialist but if anything, this is "Fast Food Item: But Privileged" the series. That said, it's a RU-vid video, so I'll try not to get *too* worked up over it. I love his "but cheaper" series, even if the prices are both in bulk and out of date, but the second part isn't his fault, and price checking every size available of every ingredient is and INSANE amount of effort I wouldn't expect of anyone except maybe a channel dedicated to that kind of niche thing.

@@bobaorc7839 You're very wrong. Josh gets someone from the crew to run out and grab the item again right as Josh's but better version is almost complete, which means both are "technically" sitting for the same time. A lot of complaining on Josh's videos (particularly the but betters) is kinda stupid anyway since you can use common sense to cut time (don't marinade for more than like 2 minutes, get basic ahh lettuce if you want to, buy good quality buns/bread from a good bakery, etc)..

@ What does race have to do with cooking? 😂

​@@RowboatingI'm very confused

Where I live they re about 6 euros lol

He also uses diastatic malt powder in his Domino's Pizza But Better episode. In that video, he says that it just contributes to the browning of the bread when baking, so I'm pretty sure it has the same purpose here.

@@ShadoClone Oh that is interesting, not just using egg or butter to help brown the crust. I saw that episode and didn't remember it. Good catch.

Diastatic and non diastatic work quite differently. Diastatic malt also helps with fermentation but is mostly used commercially for even browning.

Spicy flavor of the McChicken? I bet you think spaghetti sauce is spicy too then

@@MitchParker2012some mcdonald's dont have a mcchicken but a hot n spicy mcchicken. Im assuming his locations have the ladder

yeah this looks like our chicken and cheese burger size in Australia, we have mcchicken which is the size of a quater pounder and then chicken deluxe that has cheese and tomato on it also.

I love them for the price point. 99p here in the UK. But their chicken wrap of the day is £1.99 and they are *significantly* better, so you may as well get one of those instead.

It's the sauce that makes me like it. It tastes different from normal mayo and it's very nice.

Ha!loool

Are you sure? Because I am one of those and I am 13.

@@Mithic_sk I just don’t have the equipment like he does

@@marcoquiroz3879 like what exactly? You can do most of it on a stove, in an oven or by hand.

Lol what? 💀

@@DaSillyCat895can’t your Brian comprehend that?

@@Caaasln-ib3jn so polite 🤗

Thank you so much because you stopped stuffing your fat face with burgers the war has cease fired all because you boycotted mcdonalds 🖕🤡
