How to cook a basic meal: Chicken & Rice

[msaengl]

When I cook it like this it always smokes and splatters....

[BicycleV3]

LOL shouldnt u season it BEFORE cooking it.

[HanhChampion]

@BicycleV3 you can, but it will burn.

[P4TTL2]

u left that compressed spray can a bit to close lol

[HanhChampion]

@P4TTL2 we were hoping it would explode and make a great youtube clip. bodybuilder blows up kitchen. lol

[2buck4dH8rz]

hey hanh, how much chicken and rice do you usually eat for one meal? i see alot of bodybuilder diet plans and they dont eat that much. they only have like 6 ounces of chicken for one meal. im trying to bulk so how much should i eat per meal?

[HanhChampion]

@2buck4dH8rz I can't say.. I have no idea what you look like or what you're trying to do. You can search my diet video and it has a link to my blog. It will guide you to the right direction.

[DarthanisGalbraith]

Any other meals on the menu? I was doing chicken and rice and got bored. I'm trying lentils and chicken with tomato today.

[YoshNaGosh]

Can you upload a video on how to cook some vegies. Like brocoli and carrots

[HanhChampion]

@YoshNaGosh throw it in the microwave.. done.

[SCWarkos]

Nice vid!

[killajimgreen]

i wasnt even paying attention to the food...massive ass arms

[StevenJRok]

Perfect. Made it n it was good. Thanks bro.

[MasterChief1219]

This guy definitely knows how to cook. Gonna try this out!

[MrShaneDw]

i want more videos!

[TheGamerMan33]

thanks for the cooking tips.

[CkEOdimen]

How did you prepare the chicken did you cut it at all trim the fat, skin? etc.

[veryslyfox]

@6:20 A pink scale? lol

[WuTang011]

can you guys make a vid on fish?

[pikeuh]

Thumbs up if your watching this while your cooking.

[puset00]

this is all you eat bro? and you got that big? i mean, what other recipes do you have..? i dont mind eating that all day every day, but i just want some other options in case.

thanks yo!

[WuTang011]

where can you get that adobo season?

[jomamma00007]

I weigh my stuff out too but I'm only 185 at 5'11 lol I feel nerdy :(

[mikesomething]

brown rice is awesome, especially with tobasco, and maybe some fat free greek yoghurt

[Unlucky13ification]

Please make another cooking

[krzysztofgornybrasil]

You're right man, if you want to get big you have to eat, powders can pump you up quick, but... we all know how it ends. I'm 108 kg/ 238 lbs, with 190 cm/ 6,2 ft tall and fair % of body fat (come on, I'm married, working, kids etc) and to keep it good and strong: GOT TO EAT!

Thanks for all the videos, like what you do guys!

[soRrowful6661]

wow..!!

LOOK delicious and nutritious

[hitman7777777777]

did u have to flip the chicken at all?

[HanhChampion]

@hitman7777777777 No, when you put the lid on it cooks the whole thing. Since it's on low it doesnt burn the bottom either.

[r2yneth]

LOL it's so weird watching a beefed up guy cooking

[HanhChampion]

@r2yneth This is the main part of getting big. You gotta eat.

[staxx979]

Thanks for the vid bro i'm going to try this out.

[TheNathanWatkins]

Great video...cooking mine as we speak :D

[jdgidley1]

i love the cooking stuff! especially cus its an important part of muscle growth, keep em' coming

[krnbombboi]

thumbs up if you looked at this guy's biceps more than the actual cooking

[Cegeda13]

Good show

[RobDaFob]

Could you guys do another basic and healthy meal?

[celisfamily]

Omg you both are buff like the rock

[heat4yoass]

Hey man, you got to wash that rice a few times before you cook it, making sure the water isn't milky white, but clear. Then you measure the water to rice by inserting your hand into the rice. The water shouldn't rise above the back of the hand. Then you cook it on medium low

[kevin4free]

wow, its so bland.. Let's add some kimchi shall we? =D

[sylvial1985]

god, i love this video, because you're not in the gym, like you and i are together in the kitchen alone

[ZuluDawn88]

Paper plates!?

[pricosfinest210]

@ZuluDawn88 yes... I don't like to wash dishes.

[GymMuch]

I tried making something similiar to this with the ingredients i had. It still tasted nasty! I still can't cook for shit!!!

[iKisper]

Far less because this is pretty hot, ( then proceeds to smack that bottle around )

[pricosfinest210]

@iKisper hahaha I like it hot man.

[iownjimmy]

Rice looks wayy to wet still, plus you have to wash that rice.

[pricosfinest210]

@iownjimmy This has been stated a million times.... I dont care to wash the rice. It really doesn't matter. I've done it both ways and it was the same.

[iownjimmy]

@pricosfinest210 Oh cool, a reply >:D

[theeroom]

is it not better to pre-heat the pan?

[Rc1023]

that seems really salty. and wash your rice.

[silverdragon1996]

First Video i saw from them REaction: HOLY SHIT THEY ARE BUFF AS FUCK !!!!!!!!!!

[illricky]

Might as well add beans and you got Arroz Con Pollo

[j2prater]

What kind of chicken is that?

[methane]

pinoy adobo dude

[MrILoveEllen]

does adobo contain any msg??

[KrispyJame]

i like him :)

[mclovin1JB]

thumbs up for us puerto ricans who love adobo!

[EggRol75]

Tip: wash your rice before you cook it.

[Sen0rAwesome]

top chef brolic edition

[asdq8y100]

10 deslike are Vegetarians

[stfuandLiftBtCh]

"kinda sprinkle that on top" are you fucking kidding me! try "i kinda pour the entire bottle on top"

[HybridTheorygfx]

He didn't wash the rice, and he needs to invest in an Asian rice cooker much simpler

[ThEBiGBiRd333]

this guy looks like yadier molina. or is it just me?

[pricosfinest210]

@ThEBiGBiRd333 nah yadier molina is fat

[ThEBiGBiRd333]

@pricosfinest210 haha yea i know. but they kinda look similar in the face though

[MinimeDrummerBoi]

Just wanted to say thanks for the cooking tips. I know it's not like top chef things, but personally I find this still pretty damn good. I made my first "daily" meals today using this tutorial and it works out well. Chicken came out very tender. Much cheaper than eating out too.

[paintedglyphs333]

Hi This is very informative. Why is it important to measure the weight? Thanks in advance for your info and video.

[Loqu4]

@paintedglyphs333 cuz you needa know how much protein you are takin in. when u buy the chicken, look at the nutrition facts and most of em wil say 3oz per serving and has 23g of proteins. so 1oz =7.66g protein. if you weight 200lbs, you'll need 150-200g protein per day, divide it by the number of meals you eat and you'll get the protein needed per meal. 

[paintedglyphs333]

@Loqu4 Thank you very much Jonathan for your gracious answer and taking the time to help. I worked out lots in college but have not in a very long time. You and Hanhchampion are inspiring.

[OiDavoMate]

should we still be able to hear it sizzle during  med-low heat?

[asdlkfjas1]

i like his haircut,,, what is it?

[xJasonsDaMan2]

high heat or medium heat on the chicken? -.-

[FreshZerglings]

looks good but i would add some veggies. Maybe some soysauce too b/c the rice is going to taste super plain.

[preprodigy]

I'd like to see a complete diet plan, from waking up to going to bed, for work out days and for days you dont workout (if meals differ between days)

[tvkTrieu]

WASH YOUR RICE BEFORE YOU COOK IT. It will taste better

[bajapanties515]

lol that adobo is amazaing lmfaoooo fucking hispanic bro.

[boogerchamp]

You need a natural gas range.

[aznjc54]

wow he didnt even wash his rice before cooking O_O

[superballer02]

hey hanh when should creatine be consumed if youre really trying to bulk up and put on mass, in the morning? before/after workouts? etc.

[19931993kaka]

Will it be better if I seasoned it first and then cooked it?

[HanhChampion]

@19931993kaka you can, but the seasoning will burn.

[goatsensation]

@HanhChampion I got a question.. If above was a meal of 1. how many time u need to take for a day? I knw that we wont need the same food all over a day.. but i just wan to knw how much does u guy eat in a day.

[mentalshade]

serious question: do you guys get constipated eating foods like this?

[chickhien]

"jasmine rice, more of a fluorescent flavor" LMAO! dont hurt me

[shummyshum]

is the grams of protein per oz of meat measured before or after it is cooked? because the meat weighs less, in water content, after it is cooked.

[mixhelle98771]

Hey Hanh Plz reply back Im 17 i weight aorund 140 im trying to gain muscle mass and i was wondering if swimming helps i do lift weight but i feel like im not going anywhere what should i do ?????? by the way this is my sisters account so ummm yea srry bout the name =]

[hidex1213]

not your everyday cooking show.

this is sick. :)

[HtownsFinestt]

so would chicken and rice be a good meal if i am trying to put on mass? seems like i would have to eat this 5 times a day or something lol. thanks

[Arcamea]

spray really? what about good old extra virgin olive oil?

[HanhChampion]

@Arcamea you can if you want but spray is faster and easier to clean since you don't have to use as much.

[seonlock555]

hey dude..I believe you came at the panda express i worked at last week ! ..the one on beltline and monfort :)

[HanhChampion]

@seonlock555 haha yeah, I live around there.

[MrTheghostplayer]

good videos.. keep binging more staf like this..

[r1p00pk]

I tried to do this but there ended up being a puddle on the bbreasts and it became dry? :S is that supposed to happen or did i cook for too long

[HanhChampion]

@r1p00pk if you slow cooked it it shouldn't dry.. if it did you may have left it too long. Try it again.

[r1p00pk]

@HanhChampion i put it on 2 for 20 mins?

[vangkevinvang]

4:43 "the rice is now boiling.....BITCH"

[tee23en]

dude, you remind me of Ronnie from Jersey Shore

[moneyxl00]

@SeekIbiza LOL, you're not big, this guys bigger then you, I'm bigger then you, fucking loser.

[calebownz]

@Seeklbiza If you're twice as big as Hanh, you must be fat as hell.

[yoosukwang]

Do you normally cook your food in bulk for the day? I go to school all day and I think I'm going to start doing that. I've been eating junk since school started a few months ago. During the Summer time was when I made a ton of gains. Thanks for your vids man.

[mentalshade]

i just buy kfc and eat it with brown rice. works fine for me.

[MichaelDeLu]

Make another video for beef please?

[annthh]

YEAHH BUDDY!!! NICE VID

[RockAnRepublic]

Hey thanks guys i just made this a minute ago and it was delicious! Only problem is my chicken was dry but that's because i buy bulk frozen chicken breasts.

[YomatsuShimano]

Hanh, It's perfectly fine to eat junkfood if you want to right? As long as you're getting your protein elsewhere. I don't really feel like giving up junkfoods. I mean come on, they are tasty!

[YomatsuShimano]

Ugh, that looks good!

[daviidyoo]

Hey hanh just wondering if you can put those seasoning when your cutting and trying to lean up? thanks

[cballerific]

fluorescent flavor?? lol i think he meant floral

[MrUuuuu123]

he held that rice bag like it was nothing...

[FishZShark]

hanh i eat a lot of rice everyday and a lot of subway and eat lot of junk food. but my metabolism is so high i cant pack on any weight. after i started working out i havent seen any progress at all and i feel like my arms have gotten smaller. is there a way to get my arms big in general because i cant put on any weight

[HanhChampion]

@FishZShark You should refer to my blog on diet.. I don't think you have an understanding of basic nutrition. No you cannot gain muscle from eating junk. Protein builds muscles. Subway/ rice/ and junk food has no significant sources of proteins.

[FishZShark]

@HanhChampion wow thanks so much hanh! your blog has so much information. i should start taking the whey protein thing again then because i dont get much protein in my diet.

[EletmenticAzn]

@HanhChampion Hanh, you are the best you should try out MMA xD

[xXFirzenXx]

@FishZShark basically have more meat, chicken and fish

[trinixp]

Yea Can you cook some Rice Pea,Meat,Veg. And what type you using for it??

[nawazie]

ive been trying to do some research but i cant find it anywhere, will HIIT (high intensity interval training) decrease muscle mass?

[JerSayav]

You guys are just jacked.....nuff said

[musicx407]

So do we just leave the top on top of the chicken and when it sizzles take the top off for a bit and then top it again on low heat? Not a cook here lol

[HanhChampion]

@musicx407 He took the top off to check it. You would just slow cook it the whole time.

[musicx407]

@HanhChampion got the chance to make it earlier.. was pretty good though I cooked it with thinner chicken pieces

[jdotj4]

Hey hanh what do you suggest to lose fat? by this i mean supplements. I do intense cardio every workout, but it seems im not getting great results. Should lay back on the protein if im trying to lose fat?

[HanhChampion]

@jdotj4 Read the basic guide on my blog. I think you need to understand the difference between a protein and a fat for you to determine what to do.

[OneDayHenry]

Hahn, You have been so encouraging and you have encouragement me to truly not give up because I BELIEVE that all the wisdom and knowledge you have shared is TRUE. Thank you thank you thank you for what you have done to motivate us smaller guys to work hard and strive to reach our goals. Thank you for showing us that time and commitment DOES WORK.

[truemex2]

can u plz put a breakfast meal?! :)

[TheCrzyCody]

Hey Hanh! Is it possible to bulk up without protein shakes?



[HanhChampion]

@TheCrzyCody yes of course! but for beginners that have a hard time gaining weight; protein shakes helps with appetite and building muscle. Its up to you.. if somethings not working then try another method. I've laid out some generic tips that will work well for most.

[HiSpeedOxygen]

moar food

[WhatsAesthetics]

I tried this for a week and the chicken tasted great, but it started giving me stomach problems so I went back to the old grill. I was probably doing something wrong though

[t0nyxt]

@WhatsAesthetics

make sure the chicken is fully cooked

[WhatsAesthetics]

@t0nyxt yeah i carefully made sure they were. i cooked the chicken for about 30 minutes

[hube235]

Thanks for the great video, han and jonathan! This will definitely be something I'll try and substitute for eating out. Gotta love easy-to-make workout food. Can't go wrong w/ chicken anyday

[HanhChampion]

@hube235 glad you liked it!

[othus123]

awesome now i know how to cook something good.

[xXMcGwaPauLXx]

I'm 5'9", 163 lbs. in my everyday meal rice is always there, from breakfast to dinner, my diet is mainly compose of rice, chicken, beef, fish, and more rice.. my recent body fat % is roughly around 13.4% is this good enough to start bulking up? I eat really big cause i know that i can burn'em all while i go workout cause i know for myself that i lift heavy and intense, is this good?? or should i do more cardio??

[11011111011]

hey can you do a video for ectomorphs, like you said you were 117lbs, what you did and what supplements you recommend? and more cooking videos would be cool!

[HanhChampion]

@11011111011 I have a supplement video on my channel from last year.

[musclesuccess]

chiken and rice= yummi...

[tomsb18c]

Cool never knew you can cook rice in a pot.

[wtfsammy21]

haha AWESOME VIDEO HANH AND JONATHAN! please make more videos with jonathan videos

[mynamesedson]

can you use a rice cooker as a substitute??

[xTheBolCtF]

That adobo seaoning is fuckin great! Im glad You and jonathan put this up. Not enough nutrition videos, theyre all weight training vids n shit.

[kingdave2000g]

Whats Jonathan's stats? The guys a monster!!!

[JfLoC]

hey hanh. So i took all of your advice and been getting great results. What I did wrong was i had a high body fat percentage when i started. Now I'm cutting and trying to get lean with limiting my carbohydrate intake which has gotten me moody and feeling weak. Is this natural? And how much protien should one be taking if to retain muscle. -thanks and you have been a great inspiration to us all

[HanhChampion]

@JfLoC try 1.5 grams per lb of body weight and increase it from there. If you gradually lower your carbs you'll be okay. If you drop it all of the sudden you're not going to feel too good. Glad to hear you're making good results.

[TCxSomp]

I was 195 pounds 6 months ago, thanks to hanh and all his inspiration and teachings i am now weighing in around 160 pounds !

Needa try the recipe sometime but anyways

Keep up the good work Hanh looking forward to future videos !!

[HanhChampion]

@TCxSomp awesome work. before/ after pic? send it on my fan page.

[TCxSomp]

@HanhChampion haha of course!

[EraserSheds]

the whole time i was watching the muscles and not the pan

[2kamakashi2]

i was 125 pounds 1 years ago

now i am a 140 pounds i am really happy and i continue to do my training like i say never give up and u see progress

[Lamster337]

What are your take on eating subway i know it not really healthy like they claim to be. But oven roasted chicken on wheat with the the veggie and no condiments you think that good for you?

[Lamster337]

Wait I thought white rice has to many carbs compare to brown rice. I've only been pumping weight for almost 2 years now I'm kinda jack up but trying to lean out more. What your recommend method...?

[94joefox]

cool video, good to see you are keeping them up

[ChaosSharingan]

My mother said adobo got too much salt

[09wukd1]

somene needs a tissue :P

[musclesuccess]

great...

[thdt4114]

moreee cookinnggggggg

[ic3kn]

this guy is bloody fast blinking around my screen!

[midez19]

im concentrating on the muscles, not the food haha

[xXFirzenXx]

Need the vegies tthough :S

[applejuice95]

Once it got to weighing the food this got too much for me. I'm not about measuring when I cook lol.

[SkinnyToTrulyMassive]

Standing here at age 17... Weighing as much as a stick. :s

It seems almost impossible to get to that size.

[HanhChampion]

@SkinnyToTrulyMassive I was 117lbs 5 years ago. There is hope son.

[ntaznsol]

Um, I measure chicken by un cooked ounces, like i measure 8oz raw for each of my meals. And it actually came out to be 5.5-6. cooked, big differences?

[Tokioka]

Simple, but good.

[marcstreetballa4life]

more recipes please =D thanks! keep up the good work!

[neoc03]

More cooking videos. So hard to find quality cooking vids with BBing inspiration behind the meal.

[foufou8705]

jonathan talkin confident :D

[thoninja]

what type of chicken is that?

[awesomepaul123]

Hi Hanh, im just starting bodybuilding. just wondering what your measurments are e.g biceps, chest, thighs ect. also how long does it take to get to your size?

[vincentninja68]

No fat..someone needs to watch "Fat Head".

[r3never]

I tried this yesterday, its so good :D
