Love seeing so many different ways to make the same dish!

Onika's sauce is literally every "special sauce" at a hamburger place

In case you were wondering what sauce Emily used -- it's Trappey's Red Devil Cayenne Pepper Sauce. It's similar to McIlhenny Co. Tabasco Sauce, but about 4x as salty.

4:35 when there's no wet hand, dry hand for frying stuff, you know it's the amature cook 🤣

One of the few times I'd happily enjoy all three levels of a dish! My mom used to do a chicken dish with crunched up Honey Corn Flakes, I'd be super curious to try it with Cap'n'Crunch.

10 years down the line I'm sure Emily is going to be a Level 3 Chef in these videos😂 (btw I was literally surprised to see her as a Level 2 chef instead of Level 1 for a change🤣, but kudos on the growth though!)

Emily leveling up is the best character development! ❤ I remember her days of level 1 chef. Our ketchup girl came a long way! ❤

@@FoougieTV Salmonella is not just on the surface of chicken but it's completely inside of it too. That's why you can't eat rare chicken. So washing it does nothing to make it clean. All you do is contaminate other surfaces with the salmonella. The USDA specifically says do not wash chicken. I was certified by the health dpt to be a health and safety expert who trains cooks. If I saw someone washing chicken it would have been a violation according to the state and the federal government and that person would have to be retrained or fired. For this reason there are no American restaurants who wash their chicken.
