I'm a huge fan of the MC spicy chicken
0:02
burger from McDonald's but I think it's
0:04
about time I show some of that love and
0:09
amazing homemade version of the same
0:13
sandwich and you can't make a great
0:16
sandwich without a good assortment of
0:18
spices for our buttermilk marinade and
0:21
for the breading now for the thighs
0:23
let's flatten these out it'll help to
0:26
make it a bit more tender plus we of
0:29
course dunking them in a nice buttermilk
0:35
well you can use either a rolling
0:39
pen a heavy cast iron
0:43
pan or just go ahead and use your
0:48
fist add the chicken into a clean Bowl
0:51
now and now season it up with the spice
0:54
mix from earlier of course the more you
0:57
put the more intense the Heat and the
0:59
flavors will be I think for about four
1:01
thighs I'm going to go with 1 and 1/2
1:04
tablespoons just rub that spice all
1:07
around on each side of the thighs
1:10
because these are going to marinate for
1:14
at least 1 hour with our
1:17
buttermilk a bit more spice don't forget
1:21
salt then add just enough buttermilk to
1:26
submerge that chicken if you get get
1:30
that buttermilk All Above and under that
1:43
chicken now that you ready to fry take
1:45
some of that buttermilk mixture from
1:47
earlier and add that to the breading and
1:49
then we'll add some seasonings in there
1:51
as well from that spice mix from earlier
1:53
baking powder season that and some salt
1:57
and pepper now after the oil heating up
2:00
back there and you want to Temp it to
2:02
about 350° F if you don't have a
2:05
thermometer get a feel of the oil you
2:07
probably already know how to deep fry if
2:10
you don't already have a thermometer but
2:12
I'm just testing out the sink gold dual
2:15
well it's not intended to measure deep
2:17
frying oil temperature they have a
2:19
different product for that well
2:21
technically the backside measures
2:24
ambient temp that can go all the way up
2:30
it's giving me an estimate and that's
2:32
more than enough and that buttermilk in
2:34
there is what really helps to get some
2:36
crumbs in there that's what's going to
2:39
give you that amazing crispy chicken
2:40
sandwich now let that excess marinate
2:42
from the chicken drip off and then just
2:45
move that to that breading Co it in the
2:51
press and you really want it to be kind
2:54
of messy the way that the breading looks
2:58
like that you see all those those crumbs
3:01
here that's what's going to give you
3:03
that amazing crisp at the end
3:34
the Buns here are pretty well toasted
3:37
and now it's time for some spicy aoli
3:40
now in case you want to make even the
3:42
mayonnaise all by yourself at home then
3:45
check out the recipe linked down below I
3:48
just put that up a few days
3:53
ago like there can be nothing better
4:04
lettuce now of course here's the classic
4:06
the mixed spicy chicken from
4:09
McDonald's I mean the only thing
4:11
different between the two is the fact
4:13
that it's so much smaller and sadder
4:15
looking but it's still pretty
4:22
good and here's my baby for whatever
4:26
reason McDonald's does not use spicy
4:28
mayo and spicy Burger makes no sense but
4:37
goes the biggest thing is how full of
4:41
flavor it is I guess that's what you
4:44
would expect if you did it homemade if
4:47
you want more McDonald's at home then
4:51
check out my sausage McMuffin recipe
4:54
I'll see you on the next one
