Making The Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich At Home | But Better 

Joshua probably informs every parent that he comes across that he can make their child but better

I personally love how Josh notes on the bag that it says hot and fresh, and then he's surprised when he cuts into the sandwich she goes "ooh that's hot"... Promise made, promise kept by the bag

I’d be interested in seeing some videos in a “But Faster” series. Show us how to make quick meals at home faster than you could by driving out to a restaurant, ordering, and returning.

I made these and they were amazing! I halved the dredge and spicy oil amounts, so I didn't have too much left at the end. The only thing that was tricky was the sause... it did split on me... but I brought it back to life 😊 with the old good trick. I put a tablespoon of storebougth mayo in to the bowl and was adding tablespoons of my " concoction ", whisking by hand. And it worked like a charm😁Thank you for a recipe!

This looks delicious... I can not wait to create the whole Wendy’s menu from the realms of my kitchen...

Imagine if he made his own fast food chain with a whole menu of this kind of food. Honestly I'd pay 2-3x if I knew it was all made in-house with no compromises like in these videos

I had no idea this professional chef could make a better fried chicken sandwich than Wendy’s…

There's no one better than this guy. He's just so entertaining. He's our generation's Gordon Ramsey, but in a way different flavor.

I worked at Wendy's in the early 80s. The chicken was great then. We had just regular chicken breasts that we breaded like you would at home, right before they went into the fryer. Then they started making all these cost cuts and the chicken was the first to go. Started getting pre-breaded frozen stuff that wasn't even close to the original.

Thank you for the morning bless, papa.

You see Josh I like this series. Its nice to see how we can make this so easily at home. However I'm not going out of my way to make something like this when I'm either running late somewhere and want something quick or just straight up lazy.

This is outstanding. I made these as a surprise for my family, and goodness it was a huge hit. Now I make them quite often. Thanks for sharing such a great treat!

The editing mixed with this dude's personality, and the sheer skill he possesses, this channel is just amazing. I'm really happy all of this exists.

Amazing video and wonderful recipe as always by Great chef and teacher with high positive energy . Hats off to you sir !!

I got your cookbook for Christmas and i can’t stop staring at your recipes I just am amazed by your work! I love your Popeyes burger and the chicken parmigiana

As someone who worked at Wendy's for way too long... I was prepared to give you the side eye, but you blew this out of the water! It looks amazing!

Josh’s “But better” challenge should be named “making fast food that actually looks like the advertisements and commercials”

tried your milkbuns the other day for the first time - straight ordered your cookbook, you're awesome dude

The reason it, "has that sort of Nashville fried chicken quality to it", is because you literally just made a Nashville hot chicken sandwich.

I remember Wendy’s being one of the first places that had a spicy chicken sandwich and that was 15 years maybe more than that. McDonalds also used to have one many years ago. What I liked about those ones is that the spice is in the breading and not just a sauce like it is now at McDonald’s Burger King Chick-fil-A etc. But Wendy’s fries are amazing as well

Fantastic recipe. Amazing flavour for something that came together so quickly.

I'm definitely going to try making that garlic mayo, I bet that in itself was delicious

josh i’m glad wendy’s stood out against all the other sandwiches because wendy’s is the best fast food chain out there. that tropical berry lemonade SLAPS.

YESSS LETS GOOO MY FAOVURTE CHICKEN SANDWICH OF ALL TIME LETS GO THANK YOU IVE BEEN BEGGING YOU FOR A YEAR TO MAKE THIS TY

watched this video completely thru and decided that I would go into my kitchen for a change. you really inspired me to make my own food

its beautiful Josh

ngl, I kind of want to see him do the bourbon bacon cheese burger. That shit is my jam and id love to see how to do a good version of it

I was just thinking about this the other day, glad you actually did it

This video gave twitter a heart attack and palpitations

The way he described the experience you should have when you eat a chicken sandwich is exactly how I feel about Wendy spicy chicken. Lol I know it isn't the greatest, but I've loved it since I was a kid. I might have to make this, though. Looks so freaking good!

Just discovered your channel this week while I was looking for a doughnut recipe. Man. You and I would get along so well, humor is on point my man. Subbed and will watch until one of us dies. Thank you for good content.

This is probably the greatest thing I've seen on this channel. I am 100% about to attempt to make this lol.

Made this dough recipe the other day, it's the second time I've made it and its AMAZING!!!!

I just made your recipe for dinner tonight. It was fantastic absolutely loved it best chicken sandwich I've ever had and I get to say I made it. Thank you so much

Love, love, love this video!!!! 🤩🤩🙏🏻

Wow I’ve never had the spicy chicken sandwich but I would love to try yours. I’m addicted to your food videos.

For those that want to dial this down in spice level, skip the coating in oil+spices step and toast your buns using a chipotle/siracha/hotsauce of your choice mixed with mayo instead of the butter and it will still be fantastic. Nice work Josh. I do think the hot oil pushes this into Nashville hot chicken territory though, as opposed to the spicy coating on the Wendy's version.

You get to choose two of three things. Fast, Cheap, or Quality. Wendy's is fast and cheap and honestly the quality is better than its competitors. It's not, spend 6 hours in a professional kitchen quality, but if you wanted that you would be spending $20 on a chicken sandwich, not $6. So while Josh's sandwich may be the superior sandwich I really cant dedicate hours of my day to it. It's an advantage he has over us average Joe's. He gets paid to do this stuff, because he's good at it and he made that decision with his life. I respect that and totally use his videos for other things (looking at you Fermentation Fridays!!!) but these types of recipes are just nice to dream about for the regular viewer.

just bought your cookbook and can’t wait to get to cooking!

this could be my dream meal!! love crispy chicken & burger buns, this is so special now, going to order all ing. and do it 1by1...

Always entertaining. Although I would not make this often I love the gems contained within this recipe. The confit garlic mayo sauce is something I badly want to make now that I’ve seen it. Also the spice oil is really cool. I love the but better series despite the fact that I haven’t eaten at any of these place for more than20 years.

Josh should do a livestream special where we follow along in his process for how he makes these recipes from scratch

Just made this recipe today.... All I can say is WOW!!! Best spicy chicken sandwich of my life. I drizzled some spicy honey on top for a little bit of a sweet and spicy twist... AMAZING! Some honey is a must IMO.

man....i always appreciate such precise measurement of spices are given. teaspoon and gram!

This chicken sandwich has been my favorite fast food since childhood. I’ll definitely be trying to make it myself when I’m up to it from now on 🤗💜

Living in the UK, we don’t have Wendy’s here, but I got to try one when I was out in the states a few years ago. I’m a sucker for fried chicken! Can’t wait to try this. Thanks 🙏

Hey Josh, just made this recipe and it was easily the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. Bun was amazing. Your step by step instruction was on point and accurate. Could not be happier with the result☺☺☺👍👍👍

Wow this look very delicious, awesome..

Boy that looks yummy. Now I just need someone to make it for me.

Hey Josh, just made this recipe and it was easily the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. Bun was amazing. Your step by step instruction was on point and accurate. Could not be happier with the result.

Congrats on the videos! I'm doing it here in Brazil.

something that really inspires us as a cooking reference every time there is a special moment

Delicious 😋 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻

Just made some chicken nuggies with your recipe and I loved them, even though they were a bit of a mess to make

Man when I want a new recipe for something I just look up josh 😂😂

I like your video because it's very funny and useful!!

The amount of people taking this as seriously as they are is just hilarious to see. This entertainment in the comments is like the dessert after the main course

Yours will always be better. However, when I swing through the drive through, Wendy's had the best before Popeyes started the food fight.

OMG, finally home made mayo. You are truly the king. Well, not really, but you know what I mean.

This looks like a burger right out of a commercial!! Sooo goodd.

There is a wendys near my house and i eat this sandwich a lot and its amazing

I make the Wendy’s spicy chicken for a living . I work at a factory. It’s pretty decent and also Wendy’s have had there’s for a long time . But yeah

Saying 'B-Roll' aggressively, timed along with my boi is my second most favorite thing about watching his videos.

This looks absolutely perfect 😳🙌❤️🔥🔥🔥

Great series. But homemade anything will almost always prevail

I love everything Josh does on this channel, but I have to ask. How is making a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich with a garlic aioli "Making the Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich At Home"? Don't get me wrong. This looks delicious, but this is not the Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich. This is a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich with garlic aioli. And that doesn't even address the argument of you using thighs when Wendy's uses breasts, but, you know, whatever floats your culinary boat.

this is the best cooker ever🥰🥰🥰

I am very happy to see your cooking skills

Oh..my..goodness 🤤! I normally don’t grab burgers outside if not necessary. Only when there’s no other option to fill my stomach outside the house. But never felt like making one by myself at home either 😂 After watching this video….my mind was changed. ‘I definitely will make this!’ 🤩🤩🤩

Wendys spicy chicken sandwich was pretty nice though when it was 2 for $5

Looks so good

I love how he always opens the cabinet talking like we’re shut in there just waiting for him to come back for another one🤣🤣🤣

Looks amazing! The one thing Wendy’s does have on this chicken sandwich… You can just go get it on a whim. You have to plan to have a chicken sandwich sometime in the future if you’re going to make this recipe. And it’s not exactly quick.

I wanna see Wendy's post a comment, or Josh tell us what Wendy's Twitter said.

Josh your amazing!!!! And dat looks delicious.😃😃😃😃

cook food in a fun, easy and simple way

I really enjoy these videos! but I would like to ask, how much did you spend for the ingredients.. not just for this but also the other.. I know that sometimes the price increase is subtle but still I think it is interesting!

I love wendys spicy chicken sandwich, something about the breading is just different from anywhere else taste wise

my new favorite channel ❤️

Very nice, I want to learn like that.

What surprises me is that Josh actually says that the Wendy's chicken sandwich is one of the better fast food ones he's had. I mean, that's pretty high praise.

Wendy’s chicken sandwich has been a thing since like the early 2000s.

There’s nothing like waking up at 2 p.m. in the middle of the day, no food at home, eating a banana on an empty stomach, walking around bored, getting hungry again, then watching this. I mean it. Nothing.

Joshua, u are a true chef 👨‍🍳 , Brother!

The spicy chicken sauce made me tear up. And the best fast food spicy chicken is at Culver’s, but it’s regional so I don’t think it counts.

Looks great! Speaking if chicken you should remake wingstop wings, I think they're the best chicken wings out there from a franchise.

I had this for the first time in awhile earlier today. Kinda funny how the YT recommended works

He made a holy godly chicken sandwich and made it 100% better in looks feeling smeel and taste respect!

Wow, these minimum wage fast food workers did such a bad job! I'm gonna cook it BETTER!

Toum (prononciated Toom) is pretty much garlic in Lebanese ( probably similar for other countries in region ). Very good idea to have toum inspired mayo sauce. Us (lebanon) we have a special sauce for grilled chicken that we call toum which is a mix of garlic, potato, olive oil and other( changes ingredients to some extent depending which village you go to). It is same as garlic sauce you have in shawarma but more authentic. Will be trying this chicken burger on my next cheat day, thanks budd.

I have a bad habit of whatching these when I'm hungry

I was so hungry watching this omfg

I feel like "But Better" should actually encompass making an upgraded version of something that's generally the same. This is literally a completely different type of chicken sandwich, it feels more like a "Josh's Chicken Sandwich Recipe" video than a food item based off of Wendy's

The ratings are kind of biased towards this one location. Just because this Wendy’s is haunted by the girl from The Grudge doesn’t mean they all are.

I love how he constantly remixes “whisky business” 😂😂😂

The Wendy's sign/Wendy face segment sent me into uncontrollable laughter for 5 min. You just can't make it up😂😂

The problem with things like this is the amount of time that it takes to make, you could cut most of it off by buying buns but it's just not the same

Can we just take a moment to recognize that he separated the egg just to put both parts in at the same time in the mix

Always success, bro, easy sustenance, always healthy
