MK 136: Ultimate KFC Chipotle Mashup Recipe

This is our son, Kentucky, last name, Fried Chicken. We love him so much. Hey, welcome to Mythical Kitchen where dreams become food. There’s an ancient philosophical quandary that asks, “Can God microwave a burrito so hot, “she, herself cannot eat it?” Now I cannot tell you the answer to that question, but I can answer an even more important question, can I take a Chipotle burrito and wrap it around a KFC drumstick and deep fry it, make it delicious? Oh yeah, big time. All right Nicole, so you’re the one that originally made this for the KFC, Chipotle menu merge episode on GMM. It is too freakin’ good not to share the recipe. So we’re giving it to y’all as an early Arbor Day gift. If you’re following along at home, snag the time codes right over there and there’s a full recipe breakdown, down below. Josh, what are those? What are those question marks? I’ve never seen, can we just put it in, eh, anyways, we’ll figure it out. And if you like podcasts, Nicole and I have a podcast called “A Hot Dog Is A Sandwich.” The newest episode dropped yesterday. Find it wherever you get your podcasts. Let go. Sorry. Let’s get cooking! All right Nicole, so you came up with this. Now tell the world, how did you do it? You ate my microphone! All right, so the idea here is, we’re essentially creating a deep fried Chimichanga-esque dumpling with Chipotle burrito ingredients around a KFC drumstick. Exactly. So the first thing we’re gonna do is griddle our tortilla. Can you tell the people at home why we grill our tortillas? Wow Nicole, I’m so glad you asked. Actually, this is a huge thing and I was once called a snob because I was at like a Taco Tuesday party and I insisted that we griddle the tortillas and they called me a snob and I left. When you griddle a tortilla, it becomes pliable, otherwise, when you fold it, it can break. And since we’re folding it in such an intricate pattern around the chicken drumsticks– Yeah. You want that to be nice and pliable. I must say, out of all the things you’ve taught me since I started working here, this is the most important piece of information because I used to roll my tortillas and it’s all come out like weird and like crispy and crunchy on the sides and just not good, but since I started griddling my tortillas, they’re more pliable and I get a better burrito. So thanks for that, Josh. I’d like to think that I taught you like more important life lessons– No, not really. What about the time Trevor and I taught you how to shoot free throws? I don’t know how to play sports. Take a chicken drumstick and throw it in the middle. Throw it in the middle. Yeah, but make sure– I’m picking a beauty one. No, this is a pretty one. No, no. So you’re not like putting these down initially and then folding it around. No, I like to keep the chicken drumstick at an angle where I can see where everything is happening and then I’m gonna fill the center and on the sides with the stuff. So you can fill it with whatever you want, we have barbacoa and black beans. I like that, I like barbacoa and black beans– Yeah, I love learning new things about you. Yeah yeah, you’d think we’d know everything about each other and we’d run out of things to talk about. No, every Wednesday, we manage to just word vomit out 45 minutes. That’s good, I think that’s– Okay okay okay, condiments, condiments– And now you can do the same thing with your condiments. We have some corn salsa, which is actually my favorite thing from Chipotle. The red salsa, which is dank. I know the queso is a very polarizing thing there, but I love the queso from there, just a little dollop, not too much, and then a little bit of guac, just a– I don’t want guac. You don’t want guac? I’m not made of money. You don’t want guac? I’m not made of money, do you want me to put guac in it? Mm, a little, a little bit, a little bit. Like a little like. Ow, oh, I hit my hip. I heard your hip pop. yeah, my hip popped. So this is a clock, okay? 12:00, 9:00, 9:00, we’re gonna fold in and then 12:00 kinda came over here, so I’m gonna fold it in again and it kinda has like a little hat now. Wow, look at that cute little hat. And then I kinda bunch it up like so and then if I have any extra, I just kinda like do one of these and I hold it in place– Now are we gonna wrap twine around it? We are, I already cut some off for us– I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it. Do you want like a double– Sailors, a sailor’s. Like a boat knot? Uh sure, I don’t know what a boat knot is. I only know how to tie knots from watching “50 Shades.” It’s a sailor show. I never saw “50 Shades.” Yeah– Or read it. I read it. You like to read? Yeah. What’s your favorite book? In the “50 Shades” cannon? Um, “50 Shades of Gray,” “50 Shades Freed”– Uh huh, that’s perfect, okay great. All good, “50 Shades Darker” I don’t think bridged the gap. So we have a little bit of seepage here, but I don’t think that’s much of a problem– Do you want me to Rumba it? No, I’m okay. Why do you not let me be myself? Because I don’t need you to be yourself right now, I need you to be my assistant. So I’m just gonna slowly dunk it right into the hot oil and hear that sizzle. So you’re like holding it in manually ’cause like, you just don’t want it to possibly unfurl. Yeah, the likelihood of it unfurling is really high. And that’s pretty much what it looks like. Can I eat it now? Joshy, it’s so hot! Yeah, this is pretty good. Oh my God, Oh my God. Oh my God. I love the way this is looking right now. Some of the oil is seeping out. How are you holding that? This is absolutely gorgeous. It’s like a little purse, what do they call it, a beggar’s purse in like Chinese restaurants? Yeah, kind of. That’s absolutely incredible. I really wanna dig in to this, but what you have created here, Nicole, this technology, I think you can use this as a flavor delivery mechanism for so many different things with chicken drumsticks. I also wanna eat this, but I should probably stop, I probably shouldn’t let it burn my fingers. No no no, let’s try some more, let’s try some more. Ahhhh! Let’s try some more. Ah, she’s so strong! This is our son, Kentucky, last name Fried Chicken. We love him so much. Nicole, wow, holy crap, so we fried a burrito around a chicken. Wasn’t that crazy? That was crazy, you remember watching that, only a couple seconds ago– Watching it, I was doing it. I was doing it. Why would I watch it? I was talking to them. Now what we’re gonna do, we’re gonna do that same thing, but a little bit of a chicken parm inspiration and a little bit of pizza inspiration– Wow. We’ve got the world’s smallest pepperonis. V, did you buy these? I’m gonna go, we’re gonna take a tortilla, we’re gonna do a little, a little of that, a little of this. Did you learn? What, yeah, do you want me to do this one? I would love for you to take over. All right, hold on, I’m gonna grate up some cheese. Why can’t we decide to grate the parm fresh? We’re fancy. We’re fancy. Listen, high, low– High, low– That’s all it is. That’s what we do. This would be Sbarro, Chipotle and KFC? Yeah, I love how Sbarro is your pizza baseline. Of course it is, what else would it be? I try and speak very positively about all food that I eat, all food is an absol, absul? All food is an absolute gift except Sbarro. Why? No one likes Sbarro, there is no one out there defending Sbarro. V, you like Sbarro? Who doesn’t like– What do you get? What do you get? I like their wet spaghetti, I like that their spaghetti comes with a quarter cup of water. The spinach pie. The spinach and the quiche Stromboli. Oh, the Stromboli’s really good. Never mind, sorry, I forgot they have Stromboli. Looks good. Some maz, some mozerel, were’ taking some of the parm– Mmhmm, mmhmm. Taking parm and then little roni’s. Boy, I love my little roni’s. What I’m excited is the fat from the little roni’s is gonna like leech out and sort of like perfume this chicken. All right, now I’m gonna kind of like nestle it a little bit in there. Uh huh, yeah, exactly. And then I notice we have a large tub of garlic butter. I imagine we’re gonna dunk this in the garlic butter before submerging it in ranch? Yeah, that’s a great idea. We always have ranch on deck here. What are you do? Oh, this is a, no no no, do it. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you feel self-conscious. Like, I’m always self-conscious, you know that. We both have our own insecurities. So insecure sometimes, both of us and then we look in the mirror and we’re like, “Wow, you’re semi-attractive.” We’re hot. Nicole, I got this, do you wanna wrap twine around it? There we go, there we go. This is so inefficient, bro. No it’s not. You’re deeply inefficient. Yeah we are. We’ve had like several meetings where it’s like, “Hey, we’re gonna solve some efficiency issues for you.” Are any of your fingers there? I don’t think so. Okay, cool. Even if my fingers are, you can just dunk it in the fryer. Nothing can hurt these. It’s crazy, like I am mythical chef, Josh of the House Mythical, The Unburnt. It’s just nothing can phase these fingers. I get that reference. No one has referenced, since the last season was so bad, people stopped referencing it at all. Have you guys noticed that? That’s incredible to me, no one cares about it. All right, drop that in the fryer– Wait wait wait wait wait wait, the tongs! You don’t need the tongs, Nicole, the tongs are in your head. Oh my God. You never needed the tongs. Michaels secret stuff was inside you the whole time. Who’s Michael? “Space Jam” come on! This is looking pretty solid– What, Josh, can I ask you a serious question? Go ahead, yeah yeah. Does that hurt? No. Josh, why, why doesn’t that hurt? I don’t know, I’ve done several things to train my body to not feel pain. Every human should be in pain when they do this, but for some reason, this, I don’t know, superhuman, subhuman, I don’t know, what do you call this? Attention seeking. I’m gonna try something absolutely crazy, I’m gonna take this and I’m gonna dip it in the garlic butter. Hold on, Nicole, hold– Oh my God! I wanna see if this works because in my mind, this is gonna work. You’re a sick man and I love it! I think you can get like a parm crust on this with the garlic butter, drop it in there, drop it in, wait, just wait, this isn’t calling an audible, we didn’t plan this. Literally, you took my recipe and then you bastardized it like this? You bastardized my recipe? What are you doing? But it should be delicious, actually. All right, so, now we got this, you got molten cheese. This is filled with just about a half cup of oil. Watch, you turn it over and there it goes. I think that’s gonna be really delicious. Nicole, we took a drum, hold on, we took drumsticks– Uh huh. And we fried them with tortillas around them, but now we’re gonna take drumsticks, I meant to have the box of the ice cream cones drumsticks down there. And I didn’t. Nicole, get the drumsticks! The, the drumsticks! And now we’re gonna take drumsticks and we’re gonna chimichanga some ass cream. Deep fried ice cream is one of the world’s most delicious treats and one of the world’s greatest innovations. It’s like pretty hard to do at home. The way that I’ve been most successful with it is like dry ice and a super hot fryer. A lot of things get meltage, but this, Nicole, could change people’s lives, fried ice cream at home. An anomaly. Yeah. But a delicious one. This is the story of a girl– Who cried a river and drowned the whole world. That’s exactly what I was referencing. We got a couple desserty things out here. What I was thinking, we could go one, sort of like, cookies and cream, we got hot fudge and Oreos wrapped around that so you get molten fudge and Oreos with the cold ice cream and the crispy shell. This is all going into cinnamon sugar and then fluffer nutter. My nana used to make me fluffer nutters at the Lake House at Lake Wallenpaupack. Shout out to the Pookanoose out there and I’m really excited to try this one. Okay, take it away. Did you use the back of your spoon? I use the back of my spoon to spread peanut butter. Do you know why? Whoa, I learned something new about you today. It’s a much better way to spread peanut butter and it’s better than a knife too. Go off, sis. And I’m gonna use the handle of the spoon for the fluff. Now you’re just trolling. I’m being silly. You want to start griddling the other, oh no, I guess we got a deep fryer. No. Yeah yeah yeah. That was a good idea, like in your mind, but no. That’s so cute that you thought that was a good idea. Yeah. I’m gonna kind of like nestle this in there. That’s your actual accent though. What? Just hide it, yeah. That’s not how I actually sound. Nicole, I listen to you for an hour every week. Well don’t sound so sad about it. I fudged it up! I gotta drag it this way. There we go, there we go, there we go– Yeah, see, it’s okay, it’s a process, it’s a learning process– Hold on, hold on, we gotta scrape it down. No problem, Josh, take your time. Yeah yeah, I am slow sometimes. Don’t, don’t look at me! What if you’re doing this by yourself? That’s a great question. What you can do is you can brace the chicken drumstick, whatever drumstick with your pelvis against the counter and then you can kinda tie it here. Tie it here. I recommend you do this with a friend. Most of the time when people talk about old people– No no no, you need to use tongs for this one. I don’t believe I do. It’s ice cream on chocolate. I think we’re gonna be fine. Oh my God, I hate you. You know when– Oh my God, I hate you! Tell the people why you’re not using tongs. I’m not using tongs, you just pluck it out of there with ya hands. You know why you use tongs? Because it starts to unfurl like this– No don’t, just dunk it, just dunk it! You anger me. I shoulda used tongs. Um whoa. That’s crazy. Oh, can I eat this right now? No no no. You jackals. No no. Over there in Video Village, preventing me from eating this. Video Village? That’s what it’s called, that’s what that area over there is called. Is it? Yeah, Video Village, right? Wow, I use Barns and Tones for the first time in conversation. We both knew like nothing about the video world and so like we learned new terms and we say ’em all the time. Yeah. Now, okay so, I know what you’re saying, we’ve covered ice cream drumsticks and tortillas and chicken drumsticks, but now can we take our hopes and dreams and wrap a tortilla around them and fry them? No, screw that, I wanna eat these. I really wanna eat these and these are dying in the window. I need to eat these. Let’s do it. Holy forking shirt balls, Nicole, we this is a tasting menu. We’ve created a tasting menu of deep fried chicken burrito bombs. Let’s grab the Chipotle first. Okay. ‘Cause this is the OG. I’m gonna put a little of the hot sauce, you want hot sauce with it? Mine has sugar on it. Yeah. No, I can dip it myself. Yeah, we all got things to complain about. Should we cheers it? Yeah, dip it. Woops. Mash the sauces together. Mm. Mm. That’s really good. It’s got all the flavors of a Chipotle burrito that you love, including the hot sauce is fantastic. I ate some of the string. Honestly, an unreal burrito flavored delivery mechanism. What are you doing? I can’t. You gotta bite it and suck it, suck the grease out, like a snake bite with poison. Yeah. Mm. Good, right? No, it’s really good. Finish your first course, we’re moving on to the second course. How much ranch you want? There we go. Wow, that was cool, you remember like whenever you go to a bar and the guy would do that? With a bottle of beer? You want some ranch? A light squirting. Oh my god. All right, cheers. You have no concept of anything. Mm. This one’s better. It’s like chicken Parmesan to go. We should sell this. Yeah. Chicken Parmesan. All right, but the dessert one. Nicole, it’s melting, pick it up. Who’s fault is that? I’m gonna try taking a big ole bite. It’s gonna explode in your mouth. Oh. Oh good. This is absofreakinlutely incredible. The proof is in the schleem that I’m covered in. But Nicole, we haven’t sporked anyone yet. No, you haven’t been sporked yet. I was gonna make a virginal sporking reference, but now I feel uncomfortable with that. Nicole, you wanna spork me? Big time. I normally finish all my meals with just a solid tablespoon of ranch. Okay. You wanna sport me some ranch? Is that what you’re into? Yeah, oh, now I’m real into it. Yeah, yeah yeah, get ranch in there, yeah, just a little bit, oh yeah, that’s what I’m talking about. That’s nice. Come on, yeah. Is that good? Okay okay. Okay, bottom’s up. I’m sorry. It’s okay, just finish. I’m trying. Keep the camera up. Nicole, I’m trying to eat the, Nicole, Nicole, you gotta feed me the ranch! Oh, Nicole! Yeah.
