ah yes childhood nostalgia you thought you were safe from this series you're not [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay so today we are making dino nuggies you know them you love them or maybe you don't love them i don't these are literally just chicken nuggets in the shape of dinosaurs it's been requested over and over so i'm just gonna freaking do it since everyone keeps asking for it but please understand that's what they are now getting to the point of shaping them into that now that's its own issue so with all that said let's make this shall
we we got the box wow look at this dino nuggies back from childhood it's not like a fart over here how did that happen hey yo who farted what are we doing what are we doing it smells like a facility in there now let's bake these [Music] alrighty tidy folks we got fried things should just you know when they're fried and not and you don't need them just don't do this the grease i lightly dabbed it with my finger unnecessary these did not get crispy at all your chicken nuggets should not eat it they shouldn't
wag their tail at you all right it's not a dog it's a chicken nugget these are a little too hot to eat yeah heat them up in 10 minutes but wait 40 minutes for them to cool can somebody come smell this for me i don't know it doesn't smell like chicken it smells like that old rag that you use like yesterday morning and you just leave it in the corner and then you're like oh i should probably take care of that but then you don't and then about a week later you're like what's that rag
doing there and then you smell it you're like oh i gotta put this in the wash i'm gonna swallow it okay i'm gonna swallow it i swear this is just trash i mean this is this is like the lowest tier of food physically possible this has to be the worst that i've tasted even the mcdonald's filet of fish i would take that over this ten times they throw a whole chicken in a grinder put it form these and they're like yeah get your kids i'll eat this by the way right in the parents face and
their parents like here sweetie let me support the companies that are doing this do i have to say more i mean this is bad we could yes of course we could do better than this and i'm gonna show you how we do better okay so we're first gonna make our chicken mix that sounds exciting doesn't it chicken mix i haven't seen the light outside in years now you can absolutely just buy ground chicken which you'll need about two pounds but i prefer to grind it myself for the culinary collection snack four nice boneless skin on
chicken breasts yes we want the skin but well first actually remove all the skin then cut the breast into half inch thick strips place them in a bowl then rough chop all that chicky skin now again if you're not grinding it yourself you'll need to buy something with chicken skin take it off and finally chop it with a knife which ends up being around a quarter cup see this is why i grind my own listen to papa now to your chicken add two and a half teaspoons of kosher salt one tablespoon of smoked paprika one
tablespoon of garlic powder two teaspoons of nutritional yeast two teaspoons of miso paste and one tablespoon of duck fat or pork fat now mix all that together until thoroughly combined into a beautiful meaty mess just like my saturday nights now all you gotta do is run that through a meat grinder which if you have a kitchenaid stand mixer you can get this attachment for like 40 bucks lincoln de bio brother also i'm wearing my mask here because i wanted to see how cute the flowers were on it isn't it so nice now once that's ground
give it a nice mix by hand until beautifully homogenized next get yourself a quarter sheet tray or something of equal size spray it lightly with cooking spray line it with wax paper give your wax paper a light spritz of then add your chicken and press it evenly into your tray and when i say even i mean even press it firmly and keep it then once that's pressed pop that in the freezer for 30 to 45 minutes or until very firm now while that's freezing let's make a quick spicy chili crisp barbecue sauce yes you heard
me right in a medium-sized sauce pot add one sweet onion that's been grated and to that you're gonna add a quarter cup of granulated sugar one cup of ketchup a quarter cup of tomato paste three tablespoons of sriracha a quarter cup of molasses and a quarter cup of worcestershire sauce that's pretty close that was a good one oh and lastly half cup of vinegar this is chinese black vinegar but you can also just use plain white vinegar up to you now give it a stir pop that bad boy in the stove bring it to a
boil over medium high heat and as soon as it reaches that boil immediately reduce the temp to low and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes or until reduced about 25 then stream that through a mesh drainer let it cool and finally mix in two and a half tablespoons of the solids from a jar of spicy chili crisp i like to pulverize mine a little to get it finer but that's optional and well so is the spicy chili crisp entirely i just like to add it because it's gemmy now our next steps are real easy get
yourself a five quart heavy bottom pot filled with at least two inches of frying oil heat that bad boy to 350 degrees fahrenheit then get your firm block of chicken out of the freezer invert it onto a cutting board peel off the wax paper oh and by the way this is misshapen because papa had a little accident before but that's fine we won't talk about that anyway using dinosaur-shaped cookie cutters press and punch out as many little dinos as you can this can get messy so you may need to freeze intermittently as you go now
once your nookies are punched and you have your meaty chickeny dinosaurs pop them on a tray and place them back in the freezer to firm up for 10 more minutes now we're gonna prepare our katsu style bread station you're gonna need one bowl with a cup of all-purpose flour another bowl with one cup of panko bread crumbs and a third bowl oh look josh doing that with the eggs very cool thank you two eggs cracked into a bowl whisk together with a splash of water until thoroughly combined now pull your dinos out of the freezer
into bread them all you gotta do is gently toss your horrifying reptilian monster in the flower to coat thoroughly shake off the excess gently then toss into the egg mixture to fully coat and finally toss in the panko bread crumbs until you get a panko dinosaur oh little pants man then repeat that process with all of your dinos take them to your oil and fry about three to four dinos at a time for about five minutes or until they reach a beautiful rich brown quip and the inside is just cooked through once they're finished place
those on a wire rack to drain and repeat with the rest and i mean look at these two feathers be honest with me which one do you want now let's give this a taste test to find out the true winner of childhood nostalgia okay this is kind of reminiscent of a chicken katsu it almost smells like it too got a barbecue sauce we've one up the ketchup sound test you heard it here fellas god damn this is really good are you kidding me bro obviously i think we won first off almost lacy on the outside
katsu style crust they're salted perfectly they're juicy there's a little bit of spice the original ones are devoid of any level of crisp and obviously this barbecue sauce is just like a whole other level even without it it would be good it would be great with ketchup if you want to go that route all right i'm not going to judge you they're dino nuggets dip them in whatever you want but this barbecue sauce is that's all i have to say about it tj i need you to step in we have nuggie inaudible two nuggies i
reheated these by the way for the record nuggy one and nuggy two here's nuggie one that's nuggy we'll say that's nuggy one sure nuggy one we just reversed it all of a sudden there's nothing one okay that's like clear this as soon as like i felt it in my hand i felt like i was like in an elementary school cafeteria i do want to try this sauce though i've been eyeing this all day that means a win yet again but better episode we don't even do it anymore episode pp okay because we're we're eating children's
food so we're going to talk about like children but better you want to know what else is in the shape of an animal that you also eat well at the risk of sounding a touch morbid actually there are many things but um b-roll [Music] all right guys and that is it so we made our dinosaur chicken nuggets was it annoying yes was it good absolutely would i do it again yes i would but i wouldn't shape them into dinosaurs because it serves absolutely no purpose i think what would be good is if you press them
in that pan and then dump it out and cut them into like nice rectangles or cubes but that would be up to you but what i really want you to know is that the actual texture the crunch the lacy crunch on the outside and that soft voice inside i mean it was perfect i was a big fan and i'm glad i did it and i will do it again just not the shape of dinosaurs but hey so anyway with all that said if you enjoyed this video or you learned something leave a like subscribe and
i will see you next time [Music] you
