Adding parm certainly is delicious.. but in my opinion, it can affect the "light & crispy" that might be better with a simple tender with a dip like ranch. Great for chik parm or savory cutlets with pan sauces though.

As mentioned before, Adam Ragusea is a legend. He is a home chef, not nearly as experienced as Sonny, but my Gawd does he do his research. I'm given to understand he was once a Professor of Journalism (or Literature, can't remember) and it shows. He can really explain things and he's entertaining to boot. Frank Proto is a Chef who teaches other chefs, so he is really good to learn from as well and he's also funny. Andrew Rea (Basics with Babish) is another legend and he's very entertaining and knowledgeable. Having said that, Sonny is unique and I LOVE that about him. I can't wait to see his new kitchen!

WE MADE ALL OF THIS AND IT WAS INSANE. We used a Cholula instead of Frank’s, and it was great! I also took a portion of the ranch and added pureed chipotle peppers in adobo. The ranch IS better than any other I’ve ever had, and the ranch with added chipotle complimented the Cholula flavor especially but would have been great with anything. I ground up some homemade bread in the food processor for the bread crumbs and it worked great without needing to dry them first. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR RECIPES!

You’ve completely changed my cooking life. I’ve learned so many great recipes from you and I’ve used those to cook a lot of great food for my family and friends. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us!!

I made the ranch a day in advance and it is AMAZING!! About to take the tenders out of the marinade now (I’ve rewatched this video about a dozen times to make sure I’m not missing any steps). Dude. Your videos are the BEST!!

These are the best tenders we’ve ever had... it was our dinner tonight, made exactly as you showed us... MSG...your ranch and all. Amazing...thank you,it’s up there in our favourites vault now...good luck with your move to Texas Cheers 🇨🇦🇨🇦🍷🍺🇨🇦🇨🇦

Followed these recipes last night and you are indeed correct, the ranch dip is the best I've ever had. Tenders were damned good too, though I didn't get any hint of pickle or heat from the hot sauce. Not matter, the wife said the recipes were keepers so it's on our permanent rotation from now on. Can't wait to try the ranch on my next salad too.

Sonny, no one deserves a million subs more than you. Super proud of you, duder.

Whenever someone on the internet tells me that no one loves me I send them to this youtube channel. Im told that I'm loved in every video :)

I appreciate the tip on getting the tendon out. I do grab a hold of it with my fingers and pull it out but I like the fork and dry paper towel method. I've been making chicken tenders for a few years now until Popeyes and Chick-fil-A eat your heart out! I do put my chicken tenders in a bowl of buttermilk, garlic, onion and smoked paprika. Sometimes if I don't have the buttermilk I put vinegar and milk, or use Greek yogurt water down with milk or water. It's all kind of the same because it breaks down the fibers as we all know. I leave it in that mixture overnight. Or at least 4 to 8 hours. Then I make a flour mixture of the same ingredients using powdered garlic, onion smoked paprika, salt and pepper. I take a little bit of the brine that the chicken is in and mix it into the flour mixture so it's a little like oatmeal. I take the chicken and press it into the flour mixture so that some of the flour mixture is kind of hanging off of the chicken. Those are the little crispies you get with Popeyes Chicken. Then fry as you do. I make homemade ranch much the same as you... only thicker. I also make the honey roasted barbecue mustard that Chick-fil-A has. So easy.. a little bit of mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, Dijon mustard, and some smoked paprika, or Liquid Smoke, garlic and onion powder. Just mix it up to your taste. So delicious! I don't have to eat out at fast food restaurants. I usually make everything at home from scratch. I've been doing it for 40 years!

I made this this weekend and it's amazing. You're the real deal, Sonny. There are a lot of youtube chefs out there, but your stuff is legit. So good man.

@@fallinggravity9964 It was a background flavor. The chicken is so tender and flavorful that you really can't tell if you add Parmigiano Reggiano to the breadcrumbs, but I had it so I did it and hey... it's not like it ruined it or anything, they were tasty! Even domestic parmesan would be a great addition, or even some Pecorino Romano or Asiago. Any of the hard grated cheeses. Next time I might add a lot more to see if it makes an impact. But this recipe (with or without the cheese) is RIDICULOUSLY GOOD. I've already made it like six times since this original post. And the RANCH? PERFECTION. I always double the recipe for the dip. Also: Sonny is crazy, thicker dip is the way to go so it sticks to the meat!

This looks awesome and I like ranch but I much prefer honey mustard with chicken tenders. Now I'm not a big fan of franchise restaurants but Houlihans honey mustard is the gold standard as far as im concerned. It's ridiculously amazing! Chef, I would love to see your take on honey mustard.

@JeffVanRooy

Жыл бұрын

So very true! Everyone consumes MSG with nearly every single meal they've ever eaten they just don't realize it. This is because from grains to meat it’s a constituent part of probably every protein found on the planet, and even if someone managed to avoid eating MSG (which is nearly impossible for even just a single meal) our bodies would produce it since we absolutely need it to survive.

I make my ranch the same way I make my blue cheese dressing, minus the blue cheese. equal parts mayo, sour cream, and greek yogurt, then garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, lemon juice, dill and parsley. I tweak the amounts of seasoning and acidity until it's what I like then I add buttermilk to thin it to how I want it depending on what it's going to be used for. (dip or dressing)

We’ve always used the Hidden Ranch packets, too. I can’t wait to make your version! Cracker Barrel has a dill pickle ranch version that’s pretty darn good, too.

Just made these and holy moly they're amazing. Homemade ranch is a completely different beast from the store-bought. Didn't have msg because amazon took 1 day too long before my chicken expired so I just went for it. Just crazy good can't stress that enough.

Im going to say something Im sure Sonny already knows but its a good tip for those that dont. Pour the wet stuff (the vinegar mix) into the empty mortar and give it a stir, then tip it into the bowl, to get more of those high end powders out. Love this channel, it is my favorite in youtube cooking.

@Chris For blue cheese, make this recipe but swap out the herbs for blue cheese and a dash of worcestershire. If you prefer creamy over chunky, you can grate some or all of the blue cheese instead of crumbles. Grating is much easier if you put it in the freezer for 1-2 hours first. And go easy with the salt because unlike herbs, worcestershire and blue cheese both contain salt.
