00:00You won't see this one coming. Garlic chicken. Easier, faster, and more delicious.
00:08Hello. Do you want to enjoy yourself without overthinking? Well, you're on the right channel.
00:15Today we're going to make a super easy version of garlic chicken that's going to blow your mind.
00:22It's very easy. You just have to take a few cloves of garlic. I use at least six or seven.
00:30And slice them, not too thin.
00:33On the other hand, take a large plate and put two, three, or even four paper towels on it.
00:42Set it aside, because that's where we're going to place the chicken after cooking.
00:47Here I have oil, and I have it over medium-high heat.
00:50When you put something wooden in the center and little bubbles come out, like you just saw, it means the
00:57oil is ready.
01:00Lower it a bit so it's at medium-high, but just barely, almost medium, and add the garlic.
01:07When you notice that these garlic cloves are starting to brown, and I repeat, starting, not fully browned, but just
01:15the edges are beginning to brown,
01:16that will be the moment to cook the chicken, because we're going to leave the garlic in, and it will
01:22keep browning.
01:23So that's the point, that the oil has already picked up the garlic flavor, and then the meat goes in.
01:30Use whatever chicken you prefer.
01:32Today I'm going with drumsticks, but like I said, you can use whichever pieces you like best.
01:41The important thing is to put them into this garlic-flavored magic and let them cook.
01:48There are several tricks to keep in mind.
01:50The first and most important is that the chicken should be in perfect condition, of good quality, and very clean.
01:58And as you'll see, there's an extra little trick, and it's about moving the chicken.
02:03Yes, yes, you heard that right.
02:06No matter how fantastic your pan is, or how good your stove is, the heat is never distributed 100%
02:14evenly.
02:15Therefore, turning them around from time to time will keep them juicy throughout.
02:21Even more important, at the beginning.
02:24So from time to time, do this little trick.
02:28Move the pieces around the pan a bit, so the temperature is always even.
02:33And when you see that they're starting to brown on the bottom, turn them as well, so they brown all
02:39over.
02:40Don't wait for them to be super browned on the bottom.
02:43Just lightly golden is enough.
02:45As you can see here, that's enough.
02:48Because after this, we're going to do the same thing as before.
02:51Before, we're going to turn them again.
02:54So today, we need to spend these few minutes staying close to the pan.
02:59All right, let's keep adding some flavor to this.
03:02Like I said, every now and then we turn them again.
03:05And now they'll start browning more evenly.
03:09All the chicken juices stay inside.
03:12Look how amazing this is looking already.
03:16And check out the garlic, how it's starting to get golden too.
03:19That's why we can't brown them too much at the beginning.
03:23Once you have it, all that's left is to grab the chicken and check that it's cooked just right.
03:29And put it on the plate we set aside at the beginning.
03:33Yes, yes, the one with the paper towel.
03:36Why?
03:38Because it will absorb the excess oil.
03:40That way, the chicken will be more nicely browned, crispier, tastier.
03:45And on top of that, less greasy.
03:48All advantages.
03:49We also place the garlic on top of the chicken.
03:52And finally, we season each piece with salt and pepper.
03:56So, a little bit of salt on each piece of chicken.
03:59And of course, a little bit of black pepper to add some excitement.
04:03Look, look, look at how amazing this looks.
04:05What a dish.
04:07Just like grandma always makes.
04:09Always a hit.
04:11Come on, I'll take it.
04:12It's dinner time.
04:14And in the meantime, I hope you'll tell me what quick dish you make at home that's always a hit.
04:21I'll see you in the comments.
04:22I'll see you in the comments.
04:23I'll see you in the comments.
04:23Bye-bye.
