The thing about Korean Chicken is (and I've eaten some in South Korea too) It does relied heavily on the sauce and breading. The Fried Chicken itself (the original one) is not actually that different than normal KFC (depends on what shop u eat in or what country u eat the kfc from) Korean Chicken is very good compared to like most western fried chicken But if u went to Asia, especially south or south east Asia, u could find fried chicken with marination that's absorbed to the bone. And it made Korean Chicken somewhat pale in comparison. So yeah if he eat a lot of soul food type of Fried Chicken, pretty sure he's very honest about his review on this.

most of the comments are mad damn stupid, jolly just invite this guest to try Korean chicken and see if he likes it or not, that's just it, objective or not doesn't matter that much.

To be fair, I don't think that guy is a chicken expert 😂🤷🏻‍♀️. I think he's an expert on what HE likes, but you have to be objective when rating a food or drink. He pretty much proved that when he said he'd rate chicken with cheese a 1 because he doesn't like cheese. He's not factoring in many things, the crunch is something that many many people find to be the most appealing thing about fried chicken. Also, the country of origin, spices, and different cultural tastes should be taken into consideration. A wine conissuour/sommelier doesn't rate a wine based purely on their own preferences, but on many different factors. I just don't think this an accurate assessment of Korean fried chicken. By the way, the guy is 29 years old. He's no child.

He was famous a few years ago for rating London "Chicken Shop" chicken. Those that live in London know the cultural relevance of the chicken shop, its not the same as going to a big franchise like KFC/Jollibee etc for example. Usually very cheap and unpretentious and run as a business by Asian families until stupid hours in the morning but every one does more or less the same menu but it just varies how good they make the chicken. People eat there after a boozy night out or secondary school kids get it as cheeky snack after school. Its quite difficult to describe to someone who hasn't grown up in London or big UK cities but that's the type of chicken establishments he rates.

I feel like Elijah was just there to do his thing and review some chicken. Ollie was trying a bit too hard with his humor this time to fill the awkward silence. You could tell that it might have made Elijah a bit uncomfortable. It was still an entertaining and refreshing video nevertheless :)

This kid is the type that's keeps telling everyone that the food's not good but keep eating the most .

How did I not know this collab happened lol great stuff

The thing with this guest is that his candid attitude and analysis of the chicken borders on being brash. It maybe wasn’t his intent but it was the effect regardless. Now take this guest and compare it with Sortedfood. Both probably have had some amazing food, including some incredible chicken, and both parties probably have their own ideas and reservations of what qualifies as great food after years of eating and critiquing. The people from sorted however probably take Josh and Ollie’s efforts of arranging these collaborations and including them in their videos much more into consideration. People like Ben and Barry have eaten some amazing cuisine but never try to critique food at the expense of their guests/hosts’ feelings. That’s probably why they’ve had enjoyable experiences with other channels like Korean Englishman and the Sidemen. This is not to say the guest was rude, or acted outright unreasonably. It is just my opinion that their honesty and comments, at times, clashed with the vibe of the video and Josh and Ollie’s efforts of making an enjoyable video centred on him no less.

wow - i'm surprised his mild critique triggered so much thought and feelings, for i thought food reviews were about opinions on things eaten rather than networking.- all i took from this is 'the chicken derives its taste from its coating and condiments rather than the chicken flesh' which in any case is still above average. i also think the attempted humour/compliment in the beginning made the young man a little tentative and in turn rigid......quite understandable if they didnt have a acquaintance prior.

I really don't think it was that bad? In the first minute I shared your opinion, but afterwards it honestly just seemed like a guy with his own character giving his honest opinion (with a bit of his own humour thrown in as well), which, honestly, should be what it's about in food reviews. Like, just because the Korean chicken that Jolly really like didn't get stellar scores from him doesn't mean that he was a bad guest...

I can’t finish this. You can’t call yourself a connoisseur if you’re going to rate things low based on just what you’re used to. The criteria is also skewed. You can’t judge fried chicken the way you would soft-skinned chicken. The purpose of an introduction is that you come into the experience with an open mind. This feels more like he is there to pose as a challenge and they need to impress him instead of a guest they’re sharing a new thing with.

Expert on things he likes, NOT a chicken expert.

What makes a Korean Fried Chicken is the chicken, the extra crispiness batter and also the sauces/coatings, it goes hand in hand. If one decides to judge solely on the chicken, then its not really a Korean Fried Chicken innit? He should call himself Plain Fried Chicken (My Personal Style) Connoisseur instead. And Yangyeom isn't even a spicy type of chicken like those Nashville Hot Chicken (which I believe he's comparing it too) , the flavour profile is sweet and spicy not "dead" for sure.

yeah and then calling yourself "The Connoseur" after having a knowledge of a very narrow spectrum of chicken is kinda ironic. What's even awful is the way he was describing the dishes.

It borderline feels like he's being a little narrow-minded and rude with his delivery. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions but with him being a self-proclaimed expert, his opinion is sometimes treated as a fact when it shouldn't be. He doesn't seem to be open-minded towards the diverse takes on fried chicken. There's a distinct difference between being rude and tactless and being genuine and honest. I couldn't enjoy the video because his attitude was incredibly annoying.

After this video I went to check out his channel and all I can say is that, what a PRETENTIOUS GUEST.

That had to be the weirdest vibed video they've released. The weird energy was like that guest didn't want to even be there. I was going to go look at his channel but after finishing the video decided not to do so. Good effort on Ollie for his usual comedic self to keep the energy there.

As a black person I knew who he was bc he's more popular within the blk community. In the urban /inner city blk community chicken shop is a huge part of our childhood. It brings back memories and is gernally a fun vibe. His channel is stemmed from that. For white ppl it isn't. And that's okay 👍. He's not actually a full expert 🤣🤣🤣

these one off kind of videos remind me how hard it actually is to have chemistry in these things and how long josh and Ollie have made it look effortless. it’s okay that this collab was awkward or didn’t work as well as others. both content creators have their lane and they’re respectively successful at what each does best. doesn’t mean we need to bash the chicken guy or josh and Ollie. it’s really fine that out of hundreds of videos maybe one video wasn’t sparkly and easily wrapped up as the rest- it’s human

you marinate the chicken and then it has flavour inside it since it soaks in and combines with the meat. thats why marinates exist and you dont apply any sauce after cooking since the meat has all the flavour. his whole point was this was crunchy chicken with nice sauce on top but chicken itself was bland@@superspengz

They need to find a real chicken expert instead. Saying the chicken batter has too much crunch is crazy. That is what Korean Chicken is known for. The fact that this guy wouldn't even try the chicken with chesse is horrible because of the reason he was there. To me the chicken with chesse sounds amazing.

He doesn't seem to enjoy video filming, and he seems to want to go home quickly.

@@Azazaz929 it actually depends, too. This young friend we have as a guest has a peculiar taste of sweet tooth, soft chicken and not too crispy, and he is not much acquainted to spices and flavorings from the east. He also doesn’t like the cheese, any cheese, coz he said that he would give a 1 rating outright even if he tried it. He has yet to explore his tastes out of the oil and it might shock him with lots of flavors in the chicken. Some here even say that it’s possibly because the meat of Korean Fried Chicken is plain and doesn’t taste much. That’s why it’s the “sauce” that carries it. So... I don’t know. I agree with one of the comments here that this young man has a definite likeness in a chicken that he is not willing to change and based his assessment of it. In sum, I don’t think it matters who makes the chicken or where it will come from. The “I” in his taste won’t seem to change and be diverse.
