[MUSIC - JADED - "PANCAKE"] Hey, how's it going? We're Sorted. We're a group of mates
from London looking for exceptional
things in food that'll make a difference to you,
or just make you laugh. Some of us are chefs. The rest of us,
[CLEARS THROAT],, we're normals. But every video we
make always starts with a suggestion from you. Pancake-shaped when
I take the cake. I'm gooey in middle. Baby, let me bake. I'm Barry. This is Jamie. And today, we are
comparing four dishes that are incredibly
similar, but also incredibly different, but also-- Go on. --very delicious. Oh, J! [MANIACAL LAUGHING] Today, I've come to Camden
Market in North London with my geography teacher. And we are going to be
exploring all different types of fried chicken that you
can get from countries around the world. Can I just say, the great
thing about this market is there's loads
of outdoor seating. I thought I'd bring a
jacket in case it got cold. Right, my first
dish that I'm going to submit is Taiwanese
fried chicken, or as it's more
popularly known, ji. OK, for my pick, I'm
going to Ji, which is a Taiwanese chicken shop. I've also just learned the ji
means "chicken" in Taiwanese. So the exact piece of chicken
that I want you to concentrate on the most is this
chicken breast, which is as big as anyone's face. I know this might seem like
a naughty, because it's XXL. But this is actually a
really well-known in Taiwan. Quashed really thin, but
cooked just perfectly so it doesn't dry out. I've tried to press
the guys on what actually goes into the
marinade and the spice blend their chicken. And they refused to tell me. What they said was
it's very special brand that's an absolute secret. And no one is ever
to know what it is. I'm not sure. It's not one of those ones
that can be bundled in with, it's a bit like
Korean fried chicken, or it's a bit like Japanese
fried chicken, karaage, or it's a bit like this. That is its own identity. It reminds me of salt
and pepper squid, it's that heavy salt and
kind of white pepper. It is crispy. It's that good. It's chicken breast. So are you saying
that I found something that you've never had before? Unreal, and new to me. I'd hate to have
to follow this up. So far, so good. The great thing about
international chicken is we now have a journey
15,000 kilometers across the globe to Jamaica. From where? Taiwan. You want a geography teacher. You're going to get it, right? My first choice is
to go Jamaican, Only Jerkin' Fried Chicken. And here it is. This is chicken
breast nuggets that have been marinated
in jerk seasoning, so fiery, the allspice,
the scotch bonnet, then battered in a
ginger beer batter and served with jerk-seasoned
fries, mango ketchup, lime and coriander mayo, and all
of it [? in ?] jerk gravy. Boom. I was feeling so confident
after my Taiwanese chicken. How is that the same animal? Forget beer-battered
fish and chips, ginger-beer-battered
chicken, wow. It fills your mouth with flavor. And then you swallow it. And suddenly, you
get this massive kick of chili from the scotch bonnet. This has been triple-dipped
in that batter. So it's got almost a chew to it. But then you get the flavor
of the allspice and the chili. Having fun? Two winning results down. And we're only halfway through! What's next? Israeli fried chicken? Yeah, that's right,
Israeli chicken schnitzel. For my second choice, I'm going
to Lulu's for Israeli chicken schnitzel. It's supposed to
be super tradish. It's chicken and chips. And if you really want,
you can get salad. So we're getting
chicken and chips. Yeah! Eat it, and then get your little
white flag out, and concede. Harissa and honey. I can already see
the sesame seeds. The golden color of
strips of chicken. When I heard we were coming
to do more fried chicken, I was like, we have done quite
a lot of fried chicken recently. And here is yet
another brand-new thing that blows me away. I know I'm supposed to
be rooting for this one. So I know it's already great. But this is great! I've never had fried chicken
that tastes like this before. So, like the Taiwanese one, it
is super flat chicken breasts that's been battered out. Traditionally, veal
schnitzel you'd get in Austria or Germany. This, the coating, has
got these sesame seeds in it, which, when
they toast, gives you almost that nutty flavor. And the sweet spice of
harissa and honey, yes. I would not have expected to
have fried chicken like this. It's fantastic! For me, sesame seed is one of
those things that defines-- I always think of
it as being very much Japanese-inspired
kind of cuisine. But I always forget about
the wonders of tahini and what it does in
Middle Eastern food. And that gives this such
an incredible coating. It's one I'm going to steal! Oh, ho-ho! Sounds like victory to me. Should we go full-circle and
go back to Southeast Asia? We've already done that, mate. Southeast Asia, to the
Caribbean, to the Middle East, and onwards a bit
more further to Japan! My second choice, obviously,
I'm going to go Japanese. We're talking panko-breaded
chicken served with a katsu curry
sauce, tonkatsu sauce, and their slaw marinated
in rice wine vinegar. Thank you very much. Winning choice, right there. There's loads of good things
inside one bun, isn't it? Here goes nothing. Oh, look at, [INAUDIBLE]. Oh, yes. So this is the thickest
piece of chicken we have. It's massive. It's the full chicken
breast going on. And it reminds me
of the pork katsu that I had in Japan, where it
is just so crispy on the outside and so succulent on the inside. And then the curry sauce,
the kind of curry I love. It's not spicy. It's spiced. It's sweet. It's delicious. And it's subtle, as well. You really have to look for it. But when you get it, it just
fills your mouth with flavor. And it's delicious. And that fruitiness that you
get from it is just so good. And whichever genius
decided to put all of the things that make
katsu curry great into a burger has earned my respect. And, you know, that
means something. If you say so. In summary, I'm not
going to pick a winner. But I am going to tell you all
the things I'm going to steal. OK. Mixing up the
liquids in batter-- we all know beer batter-- but I think the ginger-beer
batter, tripled dipped, on that Jamaican Only jerk, kind
of chicken thing with the mango ketchup is one to remember. I hate having to
agree with Ebberts. But I don't think I can pick
a winner out of those four. I reckon, moving forwards, let's
look at all the different ways that you can put some
of your favorite foods into fried chicken,
and then into a burger. I'm thinking paella
fried chicken, I got to be honest with you. I realized very
quickly that something as simple as throwing sesame
seeds into a batter when you fry it gives you an amazing
flavor, one simple addition. But I also hold up my
hand and say, why didn't I know more about that? Why don't I know enough
about Middle Eastern food? And I want to go in and
dig in a bit deeper. J, I'm going to do it. I'm going to get off the fence. No! All delicious. But, Only Jerk,
that combination. And when you spell it
out, it's really obvious. You're just subbing out
one thing for another, and a couple of
different flavors. But combined, that is the one
that I'm going to remember. Ladies and gentlemen, that is
a first, I think, for Sorted. Ben's decided that he prefers
one thing over another. I'd like to reiterate they were
all delicious in their own way. And actually, who
cares what I think? You guys, which one would
you most like to try, have you tried, or
would you want to? Who knew there were so
many different variations of fried chicken. Mike definitely did. Yeah, Mike did. Now, if you're new here,
make sure you are subscribed. And of course, ring
that bell so you get notified every time we
upload a video every Wednesday and every Sunday at 4:00 PM. That's how it works. We're Sorted! And we'll see you later! Goodbye! Well done! That was attitude, attitude! As we mentioned, Sorted is
just run by a group of friends. So if you like what
we're doing, then there are loads of ways that
you can support us and get more involved. Everything you need to
know is linked below. In summary, I'm going
to do my usual thing. And I'm going to sit on a
fence, not with a wiener. But what I am going to say-- a wiener? A wiener! I'm not even [INAUDIBLE] today. And there's the end clip.
