Why didn’t I wash the chicken? Per the USDA: Washing raw poultry, beef, pork, lamb, or veal before cooking it is not recommended. Bacteria in raw meat and poultry juices can be spread to other foods, utensils, and surfaces. We call this cross-contamination. Some consumers think they are removing bacteria and making their meat or poultry safe. However, some of the bacteria are so tightly attached that you could not remove them no matter how many times you washed. But there are other types of bacteria that can be easily washed off and splashed on the surfaces of your kitchen. Failure to clean these contaminated areas can lead to foodborne illness. Cooking (baking, broiling, boiling, and grilling) to the right temperature kills the bacteria, so washing food is not necessary.
When u reheat the chicken on say on the fifth day if u did meal prep for the weak will the chicken be dry? I made a recipe with salsa and after the second day it was like chewing rubber.
@@BigNica if you're gonna use boiling hot water why would that make it any cleaner than just straight cooking it, and if cooking it will kill bacteria why would you bother with vinegar salt and lime? Unless that's a marinade in its self maybe again in which case you will proceed to cook and kill any bacteria anyway....
@@BigNica and what chemicals are we talking that aren't destroyed by heat, also if it's chemicals that are ingested wouldn't the meat itself be tainted not just on the surface but actually part of meat?
Just a helpful tip. To help the chicken absorb more flavour from the BBQ sauce, pierce the raw chicken breasts repeated with a fork before placing it the crockpot. Its the same principle that is used when marinating chicken. Thanks for the video!
I am making a lifestyle change and hoping to adapt to better eating for myself and my children. I loved this video because as I am a single Mom I'm either at work or helping the kiddos this is something that's easy and healthy for us instead of fast food. Thank you so much!
Hey Brandon I tried this recipe out, I used salsa and hot sauce instead of bbq sauce, turned out great, after i pulled the chicken out I added water to the salsa and hot sauce mix in the crock pot and added brown rice, cooked it for 3 hours and ended up with amazing spanish rice to accompany the chicken breast i previously cooked
I made this last night and it turned out great. I plan to do this every Sunday as part of my meal prep. That way I have it on hand at all times for a quick meal. I mixed bbq sauce and buffalo wing sauce together and it was magic.
Brandon this is awesome found this last night on accident I had 6 pounds of chicken just sitting in the freezer added two bottles of .49 cent on sale bb sauce bottles. One word Amazing. I did speed up the cooking time by flipping it to high for an hour and a half then cooked it on low for 3 tastes amazing nice and moist this dish made at least 6 meals and it only cost 8 bucks. Keep the awesome tips coming bro.
If you don't mind an additional step, then you could brown the chicken in a skillet (cut up or not, your preference) before putting it the crock pot. Doing this will reduce the cook time in the Crock Pot, and will also greatly reduce the amount of water left behind in the sauce. Furthermore, it reduces the amount of sauce that you need. Using the same setup but substituting chili seasoning, Rotel, and chicken broth makes Chicken Chili. Beans or no once again your preference.
WHOA NOT SAUCEY ENOUGH FOR ME. I was looking for a thick ending. Most likely i will pour a extra bottle on top and mix after it's done and out the pot.
I'm really late commenting, but I just saw this video. I dont put that much sauce in the beginning. Just a little to coat and flavor as it cooks. Then when it's done I shred it and mix more BBQ sauce wih some of the cooking liquid and that seems to be work best for us. Just a suggestion tho.
Jeez everyone. Advice or tips is one thing but y’all are kinda ruthless with your comments. Give the guy a break he’s just sharing his knowledge, I found it really helpful. Have an A1 day.
I actually bought a crock-pot and some chicken breast after watching this video. Really good idea in terms of having food pretty much ready at night time/dinner time when you're out for the whole day.
To be honest, it doesn't look that appetizing. It looks like raw chicken that hasn't been washed with a ready made sauce dumped on top of it. So not really anything I'd made but I believe you if you say it tastes good. To me cooking is cooking from scratch.
Honestly that's what I was thinking. The juice looks so separated from the chicken. I hope it actually absorbed enough of the bbq sauce for flavor. I appreciate the video but i'm just being honest.
Brandon Campbell no i am not new here. I use RU-vid to do a lot of my cooking. However, I wrote what I am feeling. That is what is great about being an American. This country provides "freedom of speech" btw I am a subscriber, if u prefer that I do not follow you anymore, please let me know. Have a great and blessed day
Washing chicken.. Waste of time. If you're cooking it correctly at the right temperature, there's no need to "wash". You do more harm than good when you do that.
+John Taylor not so much for getting rid of germs but... have you ever worked in a food factory ? There is grease on conveyor belts, dust, left over amonia agent from the nights wash crew... etc etc etc ,, i can think of a number of reasons to wash raw meat before cooking it... wow do you not know the guy in the packaging department didnt scratch his hairy ass before packing your chicken ???
+TheGogobooty actually it isn't. the heat kills bacteria and it's actually more of a health hazard to wash chicken as the bacteria splatters all over your sink. this can be found with a simple google search.
Love it - this is going to be my new Tuesday night dinner because I don't get home until 7:30 and the last thing I feel like doing is cooking! Thanx Brandon! :)
Ah Brandon, love the fact that you still take time out of your day to respond to people's questions you've already answered in other vids. Good on ya, reason we all stay tuned!
Bought me a crockpot and luckily for me, my dad owns a restaurant so I have an unlimited supply of chicken and hot/bbq sauce! If only I could share with my fellow campbell fitness community
Brandon, a better way you can get all that sauce out of the bottle instead of draining it is by adding just a little bit of water to the bottle, closing it, shaking it up, and pouring out the rest of it. Works great in my opinion!
After making this a few times, I started using only one bottle in the beginning and draining a bit of the "juices" after a few hours and then pouring in the 2nd bottle. this allows the BBQ sauce to stay a bit thicker and not so runny. Probably not the healthiest thing to do, but definitely a lot tastier!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah! Back in the kitchen with Brandon Campbell! Preparing aaaaall kiiiindz a proteins, all kiiindzzzzzz... Great recipe Brandon, going to try that out very soon!
My daughter's turning 14 in a couple weeks, she has her teen friends coming and think im going to make this and some dinner rolls they can put on as sloppy joe/pulled chicken sliders, i might garlic butter the rolls first for in case they want the roll and chicken separate. Thanks for your video.
This isn't as good as the buffalo chicken recipe. For this one you might be better off just cooking it in a little water, shredding, then adding bbq after.
Brandon Campbell Diamond , that looks good too. Made a ton of pulled BBQ chicken for various recipes, doing food preps due to all the grocery shortages. Normally I never spend so much but we have to get it when we can....better safe than sorry. Thanks for video, super easy and it freed me up to make another meal that will go far.
As you rattled off the things you do with the chicken I literally had the Jack Nicholson "Yes face" gif going on lol This might get done this weekend bro...Thx for the vid!
This recipe looks awesome! Going to give it a go tomorrow night thanks :) Can't believe all the comments about washing chicken. Guessing it's a uk thing? I'm Australian and have NEVER heard of it and I'm a restaurant manager! Food safety implications from washing raw meat where the bacteria would get sprinkled everywhere.... Gross! Keep doing what you're doing :)
