fast food Fried Chicken in the USA is arguably the most popular fast food
0:04
ever after trying darer all of them I've been led to an important question
0:07
I have to get out into the world to answer
0:09
which fast food Fried Chicken is the best in America you the audience voted
0:13
for the best restaurant
0:14
and their best item tallying the thousands of votes we have the ultimate list
0:18
of fast food restaurants
0:19
that serve Fried Chicken these restaurants are going to go head to-head with their
0:23
best item but everything counts nuggets tenders sandwiches
0:26
if it's Fried Chicken it's in the ring to win the ultimate Crown we're
0:29
starting this journey off at McDonald's you guys know how I feel about this
0:32
place everyone voted for the MC Krispy
0:34
because we've never had it this is actually the very first time I'm trying
0:37
this item Could It Be A Winner right out the gate cheers texture it
0:44
looked crispy but it gave a lot of sogginess to it flavor I enjoyed
0:47
the flavor it was seasoned it was balance I'll give them
0:49
that good job McDonald's texture the chicken wasn't
0:51
as dry as I thought it would be it had
0:53
that like brind Sho to it
0:54
but it wasn't dry it's like 75% pickle flavor flavor was all right it
0:57
tasted like a Chick-fil-A sandwich there was absolutely no crunch whatsoever it's one of
1:01
the more seasoned McDonald's items I've had I'm just still eating mine's kind of
1:04
dry but I like the taste is
1:08
that what we're ending with
1:08
that so we have a new rating system we're going to be rating all
1:11
these out of 10
1:12
and then we will reveal our scores to each other to see where this
1:15
lands I'm scared to show mine I feel like I'll be judged
1:17
so here's the thing like obviously Christian
1:19
and I have a chef perspective you're the most important person here
1:21
because you are the voice the mind the man of the people two three
1:26
a 6.2 6.8 and a five we're on the same page I liked it
1:30
we're looking for the greatest fast food fried chicken dish in the entire world
1:34
and if we're going to do
1:35
that and we're putting this on
1:36
that scale my thought is like well the best version an eight
1:39
or a 9 or a 9.5 would be thunder crack of crunch immense amounts
1:43
of flavor no dryness juicy perfect texture
1:46
then this has to be
1:48
as middle to the ground
1:49
as it could be it's not bad
1:50
but it's not that the reason why I gave it more than an average
1:53
is crunch there's a little bit
1:55
but not like enough to be like it's crackling Fried Chicken
1:57
so that dropped it down it's never going to be a seven
1:59
but but the seasoning for McDonald's without a sauce was surprising I would eat
2:03
it again moving on McDonald's entry for the best fried chicken is on the
2:06
board but with a score like
2:07
that it's only a matter of time until it's topped whether you know Dylan
2:11
or not Dylan also has reviewed food in the past
2:13
and you were telling me earlier
2:14
that you have a goal today I want to expand my vocabulary a little
2:18
bit cuz as of right now I know about five words yummy delicious
2:21
and other variations of yummy
2:23
and delicious so I just need to be able to describe what I'm eating
2:26
just like you we're going to get this man to articulate food like no
2:29
one ever has onward to Bojangles unfortunately these are all heart-shaped
2:33
which is probably one of the worst shapes you could ever put a Biscuit
2:36
in they made mine
2:37
and stepped on it cheers you guys specifically voted for the biscuit sandwich over
2:43
the tenders I will say the chicken is phenomenally crispy the seasoning on it
2:46
is unbelievable the spice level on this is way better this doesn't say spicy
2:51
to me at all I like this chicken seasoned nicely the salt levels are
2:55
perfect the crunch is really nice I'm really happy with
2:57
that it's drier far drier
2:59
and the biscuit is adding nothing it's subtracting I normally like biscuits I don't
3:04
like this biscuit without the biscuit it would have felt moist
3:07
but because we're eating it
3:08
as a whole it's just let's rate Uno dose Trace 7.9 7.6
3:14
and 6.9 79 dude yes it was a flavorful I would say
3:19
that this would have been really close had it not been for how godamn
3:22
dry the inside of it was
3:23
and how dry the biscuit was I mean it was dry on dry all
3:26
the flavor you could possibly want is in this thing no bitter oil
3:30
but like the second something's too dry it just to me it drags the
3:33
The Experience way down
3:34
if it wasn't as crispy
3:35
as it was I would have gave it less than a seven
3:37
but it was nice
3:38
and crispy I think
3:39
because I didn't have
3:40
that much biscuit cuz it was
3:41
so flat I tasted more of like just the chicken it was crunchier I
3:45
like a 7.6 is fair he's he's getting good at this
3:47
and just like that Bo jingle 60 top spot over McDonald's not difficult moving
3:51
on all right we're at poo compo this looks good the skin is kind
3:55
of flaccid but the crisp is crispy I like it at the beginning of
3:59
this video you had a goal you said I want to be able to
4:01
articulate better about food this is your moment I think this chicken thigh is
4:05
crunchy the actual chicken itself is very juicy very flavorful I don't taste a
4:09
bunch of different spices
4:10
but I feel like that's just my brain not being able to process all
4:13
of them but I feel like the salt levels are good wow look at
4:15
you guys descriptive let's go
4:17
but I do taste seasoning I think this might be the most salted out
4:20
of everything we've eaten
4:21
so far it does have a reminiscence of a little bit of Thanksgiving
4:24
which by the way the Thanksgiving flavor you're thinking of is white people skin
4:28
is crispy even though it's off of the the meat it's still crispy chicken
4:31
is Juicy the chicken itself not just the skin is seasoned pretty good experience
4:35
let's just talk about texture first I actually like the crunch what I don't
4:38
like is it's so thin it's not
4:40
so much breaded it's more
4:41
so like a very thin papery skin of crunch
4:44
and I want like a nice lustful deep Crunch
4:46
and there being a clear coating of breading I'm not saying too much breading
4:49
I'm just saying I want the breading to be apparent this to me feels
4:51
like it was like dusted with flour
4:53
and fried and that to me doesn't feel like fried chicken
4:55
that said it is still crispy
4:56
and the texture is still nice now flavor to me this tastes like chicken
4:59
soup powder which have you ever had is unbelievably delicious it's like MSG salt
5:03
and chicken flavoring there's not a whole lot of like garlic
5:05
and onion and margam
5:07
and white pepper and this
5:08
and that it's just like kind of chicken
5:10
and salt but that said like it's salted pretty much perfectly
5:13
and it's cooked perfectly super juicy super moist
5:15
and kind of melts in your mouth
5:17
so there's lots of good
5:18
and there's a few things I would pick apart from it shall we rate
5:20
3 2 1 a 79 81
5:22
and an eight wow I almost went I almost went 79 it needs more
5:27
seasoning salt was great the chicken was great it just feels crispy spear it
5:30
would have been an eight for me I feel like I went with mine
5:32
because one I have never heard of this restaurant train before
5:35
so I wasn't expecting the chicken to actually be decent even without the seasoning
5:39
the flavor was hitting
5:39
and I was happy with it even
5:41
though I wasn't as happy with the crunch the crunch was still very apparent
5:44
like a lot of things have one thing
5:45
and not the other this had a little bit of both
5:47
and had enough of both to earn a strong eight an underdog
5:50
but not a winner we're going to find one moving on Wendy's is next
5:53
with the spicy chicken sandwich this might be the one menu item that's keeping
5:57
them afloat so let's see how they did Cheers
6:00
so the chicken's dry
6:01
and I feel like I'm judging this harsher
6:03
because Wendy's slogan is quality is our recipe I don't think the quality on
6:06
this is good I looked at it
6:07
and I thought I was going to bite a juicy bite it was drier
6:09
than the first bite it's nice
6:11
that this is breast
6:12
and not like formed Patty
6:13
but it's not helping them
6:14
because it's overcooked to dog it's dry
6:16
as there's no crunch whatsoever the breading on it is the standard Cisco breading
6:20
and all I taste is like spicy with no flavor at least there's salt
6:24
on it for God's sake
6:25
but this is a drag to eat the prominent flavors I get out of
6:28
this is wet tomato with mayo I like the bun
6:31
though the Bun's nice we're going to rate now 3 2 1 a 2.3
6:34
a four and a two wow four that's here he goes again what I
6:39
feel like it's fair the chicken was dry
6:41
but I agree I like the bread it's Wendy's I don't know a I
6:44
might almost go back
6:45
and eat and to me I don't ever want to go back
6:47
and eat that so it has to be below a four it's not a
6:50
one because it's not like inedible there's
6:52
so many things missing from it
6:54
and it's such a let down of experience I would be mad
6:56
that I consume those calories
6:58
and therefore it lands at a two for me personally moving on we are
7:02
at jollybee they have won a few times I will say
7:05
so the question is are they the number one fast food Fried Chicken in
7:08
America we have two different options here
7:10
that we're voted for the spicy chicken sandwich
7:13
and the spicy chicken Joy we're going to try both of them whichever one
7:15
we prefer we'll get entered in the competition
7:17
so let's begin with the Spicy sandwich spicy jalapenos it's creamed on both sides
7:21
fried chicken spicy soft bun let's taste boys
7:26
that just all over McDonald's can I change my McDonald's score no you here's
7:30
the chicken Joy it's just bone in fried chicken the question is is
7:33
that going to beat out chicken sandwich
7:42
because a bunch of it was coming off at first I didn't think it'd
7:44
still be crunchy but they still got good crunch I didn't even take the
7:47
flag out only red flag allowed in my life Jesus Christ Christian you all
7:51
right buddy even though the skin was kind of falling off still insanely crispy
7:55
the flavor was so
7:57
so so so chickeny
7:59
and rich and anxious
8:00
that little bit of MSG taking it a step further it's not too spicy
8:03
at all it's like lightly warm
8:04
and then obviously the salt levels were phenomenal dude those are more words than
8:08
I know it's yummy chicken good chicken good I've had it before
8:11
but I haven't had this
8:12
but I'm getting this next time I go to jolli be it's
8:14
that first bite of rewind it just slow-mo my reaction cuz
8:17
that was a true honest reaction of biting a fresh hot steamy juicy crispy
8:22
fried chicken life changing maybe I've had it before
8:25
but something about today it was nice texture wiy did fall apart a little
8:29
bit not too much fried chicken out there
8:30
that falls off the bone
8:31
but that was doing it for me this is tough dude
8:33
but we're going to have to rate
8:34
and we're rating the chicken Joy just to be clear
8:35
if that wasn't apparent what we like damn dude I don't want to go
8:38
too crazy but I'm definitely going crazy 3 2 1 an 88 89
8:43
and a 9.3 is mine too high ooh wow dude I like it I
8:48
didn't put this into the category of nines
8:50
because I was being nitpicky you know it's like the only thing
8:53
that would have brought it to a nine for me would have been a
8:55
little bit more breading the breading was a touch light it was a nice
8:58
crunch but what I noticed is a lot of it was bundled breading in
9:01
certain areas that had Crunch
9:02
and then there were other areas
9:03
that were flaccid and light on the breading what would have given it a
9:06
nine or above is
9:07
if it held together better I do like a good fall off the bone
9:10
but it was a little Messier I don't mind mess
9:12
but it was almost near perfect yeah I would agree it's on the edge
9:16
I feel like if it had all
9:17
that I would have given it a 10
9:18
and then we would have been done
9:19
but we're not done we're moving on we have a clear leader separating for
9:23
the pack Jollibee has won before we've never compared Jollibee to all the major
9:27
Fried Chickens In America
9:29
and I hate that say it
9:29
but there's a strong chance
9:31
that they lose their Crown today only one way to find out we're at
9:34
Burger King with chicken fries let's just get this over with you know what
9:36
they are Cheers 3 2 1.9 2.2
9:41
and three how' you give the highest score let me express myself I'm trying
9:45
not to be dramatic this time F my first thought was a one
9:48
but I'm also trying to be predictive here cuz I don't know how much
9:51
worse it's going to get eating the chicken fry the salt levels are good
9:54
it doesn't taste bad the only demarcation on Flavor
9:57
that I have is
9:58
that the bitter ass oil
9:59
that totally ruins it
10:01
so first it starts at like maybe like a four
10:03
and then the bitterness brings it down to like a 1
10:06
or a two that tastes like string cheese like not in like a good
10:09
way I didn't like it you're right this should be a two the chicken
10:12
finger I had didn't have seasoning
10:14
or salt all I tasted was bitter
10:16
and crumbs okay so there you go it's there's inconsistency in the product mine
10:19
was seasoned and salted fine
10:21
but there was no crunch texture was terrible no juiciness it wasn't super dry
10:25
but it was also just like sponge chicken
10:27
which was very odd
10:28
and then there's the bitter oil
10:29
so you know I give it a I give it a two
10:31
that might be the worst thing I put in my mouth in the last
10:34
2 months it's less than a 1.9 a one for me is it tastes
10:37
good but it's not cooked
10:38
so it might give me food poisoning this was at least edible
10:41
which is why I gave it a to honestly that's probably the best description
10:44
moving on we are at Dave's Hot Chicken we're at Drake's place this doesn't
10:47
look like it has much breading it looks like glasses this looks like it's
10:50
been run over here we go cheers
10:52
that tastes better than I thought it would
10:54
but it's not crunchy it's probably some of the worst Hot Chicken I've ever
10:56
had for hot I was expecting hotter it's more heat than it is like
10:59
flavor but it's not really
11:00
that spicy like spiciness in terms of like heat I would give it like
11:02
a 5 out of 10 like it's spicy
11:04
but it's not knocking my socks off this is the least seasoned
11:07
and least salted chicken we've had all day it is one of the least
11:10
crispy it is not dry
11:12
which I appreciate it's actually quite juicy I feel like a lot of the
11:14
others left like a nice aftertaste it's just like heat I will say it
11:17
does linger which is expected let's rate ready 3 2 1 a 31 43
11:21
and a six even Dylan went under five I'd rather go back to McDonald's
11:26
see I don't know
11:26
if it was my piece you guys spoke
11:27
that it was under seasoned yes salt
11:29
but mine was very flavorful mine was not I had sweetness I had smokiness
11:34
for a chicken tender I think it was slightly above mid hence the six
11:36
all I tasted was paprika
11:38
and cayenne I didn't taste any garlicky any onion I did
11:42
and I had like a little sugary e to my like brown sugar I
11:44
got some sugar mine's just based on me wanting to go back
11:46
and I don't really want to come back here ready I'm just going to
11:49
stand tall because it doesn't have sauce it's mid 5.0 moving on Dave's mid
11:53
chicken unfortunately not quite hitting like we thought it would
11:56
but we're moving on to one of the most hyped up contenders of all
11:59
all time we're at Raising Canes unfortunately they're calling this a chicken tender no
12:03
sauce right unfortunately no sauce okay cheers
12:08
that tastes like nothing this really is for white people the best part of
12:11
this was actually surprisingly for the first time the texture the crunch was pretty
12:14
good unfortunately there was absolutely no flavor
12:17
and no salt whatsoever you need cane sauce you see that's a little horse
12:21
and this is my theory I think it has a lot to do with
12:23
production it's really hard to maintain consistency
12:26
because chicken is constantly breaded inconsistently we've seen a few times in some of
12:29
the places we've gone
12:30
but what can be consistently the same across the board no matter what the
12:33
sauce so they intentionally under season
12:35
and you have to get the sauce that's almost like the selling point you
12:38
go to Raising Canes to have the chicken with the sauce you don't go
12:41
to Raising Canes to have the chicken I guess we'll rate this is going
12:43
to be rough I don't know how confident I feel my rating 3 2
12:46
1 two three okay three all right 38 brutal good job guys I can't
12:50
believe I'm the one highest one rating it I rated it higher than the
12:54
Burger King just because it's crunchier it was just texture
12:58
that gave it any score really
12:59
so overall it was steep below mid I gave it the highest rating here's
13:03
the thought chicken actually wasn't dry
13:05
and it wasn't chewy
13:06
and that usually is a problem with canes
13:07
and the crunch was present
13:08
so the texture I was honestly pretty happy with I wish there was a
13:11
bit more breading but it was
13:12
so lacking in flavor
13:14
if the flavor was there it might have brought this to maybe a seven
13:16
but the lack of the flavor just brings it to a 3.8 moving on
13:20
who would have thought to have the best fast food Fried Chicken in America
13:23
you'd actually need good chicken moving on to the next all right we are
13:27
at Carl's Jr with their fried chicken sandwich I don't expect this to be
13:31
good let's just eat it m oh my God you know what it's actually
13:35
not bad does the texture on my chicken look right it looks like the
13:38
texture of bread it's more like a giant nugget than it is like breast
13:41
meat which I don't mind by the way I like making chicken sandwiches like
13:43
that myself texture I was surprised out of all the Nugget based sandwiches
13:47
that we've had this is the crispiest
13:49
and the crunchiest the salt level is actually perfect there is pretty decent flavor
13:52
in it I like the Mayo
13:53
and the lettuce I like the Simplicity of it I wish there were pickles
13:55
and some acid on this to balance it
13:57
but all in all it's okay like it's actually okay tasting it it's nostalgic
14:01
I'll give it that that's always a win for me I'll say it tastes
14:03
better than it looks texturally there's more everything than chicken
14:06
and I do like the Mayo
14:07
and the lettuce it's it's very nostalgic I didn't really get
14:09
that same crunch to me the texture of this kind of tastes like
14:12
when you fry something
14:13
but you like leave it out for too long
14:15
and it gets a little soggy this is mid yeah this is mid we're
14:18
not going to do the board on this it's all fives across the board
14:20
mid good for you Carl Junior surprise surprise moving on all right we are
14:23
at Popeye's specifically what was voted for was the bone in fried chicken
14:27
and I get why this might be one of the best look pieces of
14:29
chicken we've had all day this Wing looks crazy I want it I'm a
14:33
wing guy all right is this regular
14:36
or spicy spicy this is not spicy
14:38
but it is seasoned you know what I find funny it's like both good
14:40
and kind of a let down it's very oily you know honestly I don't
14:44
love this I will say
14:45
that Popeyes won chicken nugget video
14:47
but it wasn't much of a competition cuz all the chicken nuggets were extremely
14:49
sh let's rate ready in a three
14:52
and a two and a one a 69 68
14:54
and a five surprisingly low
14:56
though for what it looked like to me it looked like it was going
14:59
to be an eight I honestly thought it was going to be up there
15:01
with Jollibee me too
15:02
but based off the looks
15:03
and smell I didn't think jolli bees looked
15:04
as well breeded as this one
15:06
although it was this was missing crunch it was UND salted by about 50%
15:11
in my opinion there was no spiciness to it no chicken flavor
15:14
that I was picking up it was it was rather flavorless surprisingly
15:16
and there was a weird aftertaste I can't get over the oiliness that's just
15:19
like lingering in my mouth
15:20
so I'm not a fan of
15:21
that flavor was there it wasn't
15:22
as spicy as as a namesake is I got more chicken flavor than Josh
15:25
did for sure and I think overall texture was up there yeah I'm dripping
15:29
moving on bit of a disappointment for a place that's known for their chicken
15:32
but Jollibee is still holding strong at the halfway mark can anyone beat it
15:36
though up next is not my favorite Chick-fil-A I cannot believe I'm saying this
15:40
this is the most beautifully breaded
15:42
and fried Chick-fil-A chicken I've ever seen I feel like they got to be
15:44
watching my videos cuz every time we go back the chicken is better cheers
15:49
mine's like reallying spicy this is good this is the most spicy of any
15:54
of the chicken sandwiches by far
15:55
and I really like
15:56
that I'm not unhappy with it pickles are there buns nice
15:58
and me it's a basic chicken sandwich
16:00
but it's one of the better Chick-fil-A I've had
16:01
if you were to have a blind taste on chicken sandwiches I would have
16:04
never guessed that was Chick-fil-A I've had a lot of Chick-fil-A
16:06
and this is good
16:07
but I'm I'm still standing on it's like a little too salty I kind
16:10
of agree I just took another bite
16:11
and it's almost too salty yeah all right let's rate three two 1 74
16:16
78 and a seven wow I feel like this is pretty close one of
16:19
the better chicken sandwiches I've had from Chick-fil-A the seasoning was nice the flavor
16:22
was nice the crunch was nice it wasn't perfect it was maybe close to
16:26
an eight but what brought it down to a seven it was a little
16:29
overs salted by about 10 to 15% after a couple bites I was like
16:32
I'm done the saltin level would have been perfect
16:34
if there was more chicken I think the salt would balance out I feel
16:37
like compared to some of the other places
16:39
that have kind of been UND seasoned it kind of automatically bumps this one
16:42
a little bit higher I feel like 7.8 is accurate
16:45
and also I just I'm biased towards Chick-fil-A I've always hated Chick-fil-A
16:49
but that's a win for Chick-fil-A
16:50
but not for the competition let's find our winner moving on we are now
16:52
at KFC herbs and spices my this is one of the greatest looking Fried
16:57
Chickens I've ever seen
16:58
but hey hey that doesn't mean it doesn't taste good
17:00
so let's find out stale like it's not crunch
17:07
that I'm biting on it's St this this tastes exactly like
17:10
when you order fried chicken
17:12
and it's meh and you leave it in the fridge overnight
17:13
and you reheat it in the oven flavor is just old chicken it's really
17:17
kind of grossing me out the skin
17:18
and the chicken almost have the same texture that's right one two three a
17:24
3 three a three
17:25
and a 2.8 the salt level was good
17:28
and honestly that it
17:29
if the salt was not present it would be a one moving on KFC
17:32
yet another let down I would say I'm shocked
17:34
but at this point it is we're at Chicken Express
17:37
and I will say I think I judged a book by its cover most
17:39
of the time I see a sign with a chicken flying through the air
17:42
my thought is oh boy I wouldn't took a poop in there the bathrooms
17:45
were remarkably clean and they were private with a lock on the door yeah
17:49
and the chicken looks good spicy chicken cheers I like the breading a lot
17:54
but I don't know
17:55
if I like the actual chicken it's kind of spongy I'm like confused I
17:58
was like oh this this is good it's beautifully crispy
18:01
and yeah the chicken just dries initially great crunch great flavor on the actual
18:05
crunch it is the driest chicken I've had
18:06
so far it's just like spicy with no flavor the crunch no salt it's
18:09
just spice yeah I'm kind of bummed out I feel like we got a
18:12
bad batch let's vote all right 3 2 1 4 6.6
18:16
and a 37 you got to remember I started with McDonald's at a 6.8
18:20
you're saying this is equatable to McDonald's to be fair I really like the
18:23
breading and also I like their tea okay all right okay I think my
18:27
grade is higher than yours slightly
18:28
because needed Salt and needed juicier chicken
18:31
but overall the crunch was addicting the only thing
18:33
that was good about this was the crunch everything else was trash the chicken
18:35
was dry it was under salted the seasoning was me maybe it was cuz
18:39
there was noing salt the spice level was okay this is better than Raising
18:42
Canes it's a lot better than Raising Canes All Right Moving on we're at
18:45
Zach's peas again chicken looks all right
18:47
but how good is it oh hot too hot okay
18:50
so texture the crunch is nice I wish there was a bit more breading
18:53
on it but it's decent like it's acceptable crunch the chicken's juicy it's not
18:57
like terribly stringy or chewy
18:58
or dry it's juicy
18:59
and plump I'm not mad at
19:01
that flavor is interesting cuz the salt levels are really good
19:04
but I'm just not getting a lot of like seasoning I'm not like getting
19:06
any black pepper corn garlic rosemary it needs sauce
19:09
but it also doesn't need sauce does
19:11
that make sense you can dip it in sauces
19:12
but you don't need to I want to
19:14
but not as bad
19:14
as I want to dip canes there's been a couple bites hopefully you can
19:17
find it where I just started squirting I don't know
19:18
if it was me
19:19
or the chicken huh huh the chicken flavor stands out the most more than
19:22
anything then it's the crust
19:23
then it's the salt that's nice I tasted the breading separately
19:26
and I also tasted the chicken separately both sides are season
19:29
so it's not just like one
19:29
or the other I think it's a good piece of chicken
19:31
and if you're on a diet you can eat this
19:33
because you know you can't have sauce what are you talking about isn't sauce
19:36
like don't doesn't de Fried Chicken every calorie counts thank you Dylan let's raate
19:42
3 2 1 we got a seven another seven
19:45
and an 8.2 dude seven on seven baby we got a kiss
19:49
if you look at mine it was originally going to be a seven I
19:52
rated it higher because I liked how simple it was I love the perfect
19:56
amount of salt it had I don't think it was overly salty the texture
19:58
in the salt levels made it a seven the thing
20:01
that kept it from being an eight was the lack of additional flavor spices
20:04
and possibly some a little more crunch splitting hairs moving on we're at Shake
20:09
Shack these look great they went with the In-N-Out model the way they're serving
20:11
it very nice cheers lizard M initially it was like a flavorful bite
20:17
and then it got really bitter quick maybe it's a sauce it's not a
20:20
ranch almost like a tarter sauce texture is great I like the crispiness on
20:23
this chicken so initially
20:24
when I bit into it I thought it was too salty
20:26
but I think the sauce kind of balances it out my chicken was not
20:28
dry which I'm a big fan of I think this is one of my
20:31
higher rated chicken sandwiches
20:32
that we've had I think this is phenomenal immediately you're punched in the face
20:35
with all sorts of layered flavor the chicken is Juicy
20:37
and not dry I love the softness of
20:39
that Martin's roll I don't know I really like this sauce a lot it's
20:42
just like all sorts of flavor you've got
20:44
that deep fried chicken it's roasty
20:46
and toasty there's garick there's the creaminess from the Mayo acidic pickles the freshness
20:50
from the lettuce overall taste was up there up until the bitterness came in
20:53
texture is great I like the crispiness on this chicken you can tell they're
20:56
hand breing it and the texture of the bun it's always going to be
20:58
good with po potato rolls I will say there are bigger consistency issues with
21:01
Shake Shack cuz they're actually cooking their food it's not like Wendy's where they
21:04
give you a frozen hockey puck in you throw it in the fry later
21:06
and it's done there are inconsistency issues
21:08
but the piece I had was good
21:09
so I'm going to rate based off what I tasted 3 2 1 8
21:13
6.8 and an 88 you went real high I thought back to the jollybee
21:17
sandwich I rated this the same
21:19
as the jollybee chicken
21:20
because I enjoyed it equally
21:22
that said I ate
21:23
that with nothing this has sauce
21:24
and pickles and Bun
21:25
and all sorts of things that's what it required to bring it up to
21:28
that level but to me it was the same experience of Joy flavor texture
21:32
I rated mine pretty similar to the Chick-fil-A Sandwich I feel like initially this
21:35
was a little too salty
21:37
but the sauce kind of fixed it up a bit a little bit higher
21:39
overall I think that's fair human error happens I still love it
21:42
but we're moving on we're at Church's Chicken this is the very last spot
21:45
and this could be the Dethrone oh what else is there R Church's Chicken
21:53
and this could be the Dethrone to all of the prior chicken the question
21:57
is will it be looks crisp it looks actually stunning this might be one
22:01
of the most beautiful chickens I think I've seen all day this is almost
22:03
a whole chicken they're just missing two breasts good crunch again I can't taste
22:08
other seasonings except for salt is
22:10
that me or am I just like you're right the chicken itself does taste
22:13
good it's juicy tender this texturally to me is the best chicken we have
22:17
had all day long period end of story it is fried utterly perfectly it's
22:22
not over fried I don't taste any bitter oil
22:24
but the crunch was phenomenal this is the breading this is the crunch I've
22:28
been looking for the chicken is cooked
22:29
and delicate and melts in your mouth it's succulent the flavor on the other
22:33
hand is a little bit of a let down it's kind of UND salted
22:35
if I were to give the salt out of a 10 I'd give it
22:37
like a 7.8 maybe an eight
22:39
which is still pretty good it's just not perfect to your point like not
22:42
tasting spices I will say I'm not getting a lot of chicken flavor
22:44
and I think that has a lot to do with the missing salt flavor
22:46
is a little lacking to me initially I had a majority Crunch
22:49
and skin that when I bit into it I didn't even eat the chicken
22:51
yet so I had to go in there for the chicken juicy the skin
22:54
crispy the crust crispy yeah I agree with the 8 out of 10 on
22:58
the salt level seasoning lacking damnn you're polishing
23:01
that bone off good you can have the flavor not be perfect
23:04
but if the texture is
23:05
that good you can't help
23:06
but stop eating that's why texture is
23:07
so important texture ever tastes I have a cookbook it's one of the best
23:09
cookbooks in human history it's also multi- New York Times bestseller you should go
23:12
to the link in the description get it it's fantastic a lot of people
23:15
love it now let's rate 3 2 1 eight an 8.6
23:23
and 8.7 wao simmer down fellas
23:26
if the flavor on this was perfect I would have given this a nine
23:29
and it would have beaten Jolly bees that's all I have to say Jollibee
23:32
trumps it with the flavor overall
23:34
and that crunch oh
23:35
that crunch the crunch is crazy
23:37
so close to jollybee it's getting really tight here we only have one spot
23:41
remaining and it could very well be the only spot
23:44
that could Dethrone Jolly be after 16 spots in their most voted for chicken
23:49
items the Fried Chicken Showdown comes down to one final spot we're at Long
23:54
John Silvers this is one of the biggest contenders of the whole operation today
23:58
the reason why they won the chicken tender competition with flying colors an incredible
24:03
review it blew our minds I know you remember this moment I can't forget
24:06
it what I will say is visually they look underc colored
24:09
but that doesn't mean
24:09
that they're necessarily bad
24:10
so let's try them how are they still good what the is this like
24:15
beer batter fried I don't know I like
24:17
that the crust kind of flaky I think it's seasoned pretty well
24:20
and the chicken itself isn't
24:21
that dry I do like a nice wet batter type thing cuz it almost
24:23
steams the chicken and makes it keeps it moist like it's really crunchy on
24:26
the outside there's a little bit of batter left you can see
24:28
and that chicken is Juicy
24:30
because it's like encapsulated in
24:31
that batter I mean I hate how this looks
24:33
but I'm not demarking points for how it looks the salt level is quite
24:36
literally Perfection it's like a bag of chips like you can't stop eating it
24:40
yeah I ate my entire chicken tender the chicken itself was springy in a
24:43
nice way it was juicy
24:45
and I will say chicken breast needs to be cooked just a little bit
24:47
that you can differentiate the fibers you don't want it to be
24:49
so perfectly cooked that it
24:50
or it peels yeah I hate
24:52
that it's a tender
24:52
and it was tender on top of
24:54
that it has a different kind of crunch out of anything we've eaten today
24:57
I'm like embarassed to say
24:58
that if I was like out
24:59
and about and everyone's like we have to go get fast food I'd be
25:02
like let's go to Long John Silvers
25:03
and everyone would be like what I'm not embarrassed I love Long John Silvers
25:06
I went here a lot
25:07
as a kid I mean I get it I kind of wish I had
25:09
let's rank it is the One Singular spot
25:12
that could actually knock jollybee off the throat these guys blew us away
25:15
when we first tried their chicken tenders they were
25:17
so good so different than any fast food fried chicken I had ever had
25:21
and at this point possibly the only one
25:24
that could beat Jolly be ready this is actually genuinely very hard I I
25:27
would love to say
25:28
that we drum this up
25:28
but I there was a lot of things we had to consider here I
25:31
changed my answer three times will this top Jolly Be
25:34
and take the lead
25:35
that we're about to find out in three 2 1 an 8.7 8.3
25:41
and an 89 wow I went above jollybee for this one the experience of
25:47
this was not necessarily better than jollybee
25:50
but let's think about this for a second you got plain chicken breast with
25:53
no fat no skin on it no bones to make it nice
25:56
and flavorful and Rich
25:57
and unctious and the fact
25:58
that it's even competing with jollybee is insane what I can give him Jollibee
26:02
I can get it home I actually don't even know where to begin making
26:05
this last thing I'll say is it is the most different
26:08
and exciting chicken experience we have had everything else is like varying degrees of
26:13
good or bad of the same thing this is totally different see I can't
26:17
make Jollibee or this at home I think I just prefer the flavors from
26:21
jollybee more you put a spicy chicken Joy thigh in front of me
26:26
or a Long John Silver tender I'm grabing
26:28
that I fast that's a very good point the whole point I feel like
26:31
of this video is who has the best fried chicken option
26:34
that has been top tier
26:36
so far that changed my mind I'm giving it an 8.75 I'm splitting here
26:40
so I'm saying Jollibee is slightly better for
26:42
that reason but I still think
26:43
that this deserves something on the table this is crazy it's an eight across
26:46
the board above an eight it's huge for all of us this is a
26:49
fish place this is a fish place it's literally topping everybody else
26:52
but jollybee yet again jollybee is a winner I'm not surprised
26:56
because you know they always deliver on quality freshness the crispiness I've been screaming
27:00
this from the rooftop
27:01
and honestly at this point I'm just going to go ahead
27:03
and say it Jolly Be please let meing franchise a place in Austin please
27:07
I've asked you a million times I know you're watching this
27:09
that is my One Plea I'll help him I'll just eat there bye subscribe
27:14
we still have to assess where Dylan landed on his ability to describe food
27:18
it started off soft I like the taste I don't think the quality on
27:21
this is good it's yummy
27:22
but then he surprised me there were moments
27:24
that I couldn't even believe it was Dylan himself saying those words things like
27:28
the actual chicken itself is very juicy very flavorful I can't get over the
27:32
oiliness but I don't know
27:33
if I like the actual chicken it's kind of spongy that's a five out
27:35
of five Dylan congratulations you've done it
