[L33W41K41]

mmmm....

[campoclaire]

A chicken with 5 spices, this is really a good dish to try.

[aznxCOOLxguy]

you should make short tour video of your garden, i'd like to see what the chef grows. lol

[SmashTactics]

I didn't make this, but this inspired me to make up my own recipe - you have no idea how long it's been since I've been inspired to do that. Thanks, Chef.

[FocusedMatt]

OMG!!!! chef john ur killing me!

[Cenotaff]

Damn that knife is sharp. Looks awesome (the chicken).

[thatbastardson]

starwest botanicals, or bust.

[MYHOLLANDGIRL]

At "Wing Lees", off Polk St. in SF, there was this amazing 5 spice chicken place, real small with lines around the block...It closed down and I was given the recipe and lost it...They made it similar to yours or maybe even the same, but they used a meat sauce for their rice...That was soooo amazing with it...Do you by chance have an amazing meat sauce recipe for rice that goes with the chicken? I wish I had theirs?  Thanks for this.... :)))

[nobracobra]

headed to the grill...

[bebethdam]

[impamiizgraa]

[TheAdmiralsemmes]

What kind of fish sauce was that? I have Squid brand on hand is that cool?

[TheAdmiralsemmes]

Dude is this hot? I hate hot stuff. A little heat is good but is this stuff fire? or tasty?

[TheAdmiralsemmes]

Dude is this hot? I hate hot stuff. A little heat is good but is this tuff fire or tasty?

[hoodboi718]

[khoihq]

[lovelyaley]

Ich liebe dich.

[zetaroxos]

[StevenEdit]

[KageOfSand]

These videos always make me so hungry.

[flysniper77]

to the ppl who say ginger is spicy: it's not very spicy, it's a bit of a tangy refreshing taste! give it a try!

[LaurenMacP1994]

Could you do a really good, easy vegetarian option?? :) x

[stvgel09]

OMG sooo spicy! lol..but still love it! :P

[anniemunthoei]

Hello Chef John!!

I'm Annie. I have watched your video since I was 20 and now I am graduated at that age of 23 in Thailand. I'm very indicted to your beautiful meal. Now I have got the scholarship to go and study in the US.  So I wonder whether it's possible for me to visit you sometimes when I got free time. Please let me know

[babygyalk]

As always your dishes make my mouth water - thanks for sharing lol

[imbarcare]

Though I'm not a total foodie, I've been loving your vids and half expect you to land a TV show. Humor, timing, tone-- you nail it in ways no TV chefs do. Your fans can't all be wrong. And I just got some 5-spice and some Thai chili paste and wondered what to do with them. And here you come with this. So how about that show?

[gardini100]

curry is also a mix of lots of spice

[SuperXmichaelx]

you need to do a new rib recipe :) 

[Hemulen40]

Haha, I eat more chicken any man evva seen ...

[MarieFace]

[kaymizzai]

YUMMMMMMM

[DOMIINICANBABE]

[KittyTh]

You use the word 'sambal'! Hooray for Chef John!!! Maaaaaannnn ... I love u!!! Btw, that knife is sharp!

[kmenicanin]

lordy lordy chef john

this recipe is beautiful :D very colorful and i betcha the pops of flavor would mesh very very well

i have some ideas cooking in my head in reference to a suggestion of a food wish just in time for fall when your body craves lovely (yet heavyish) sunday dinner type foods

[frozencold199]

hey john did you ever win that food network thing on youtube?

[xKaoKaox]

Chef John, you just made something that vietnamese people call "Nuoc Mam" translates to like salted fish water lol. well we generally put vinegar, sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, and water :)

Nice video!

[jagjagin]

lol um isnt killing torture, even if its free-range? lol

[foodwishes]

@jagjagin no, actually "killing" and "torture" aren't the same thing. That's why they are like different words and stuff.

[chugawillis]

@foodwishes what did you do with the food network stuff

[jagjagin]

@foodwishes i know, I just wanted you to reply to my comment, haha UR AWESOME.

[da1on2]

@foodwishes Two different words can mean the same thing. They're called synonyms and stuff.

[xNinjaKingx]

@da1on2 lol i like dat~

[FikiNom]

@foodwishes lol @ the snark

[69adrummer]

@foodwishes And that's why we love you Chef John and think you're a cool cat and stuff.

[StupeifyYoMind]

@foodwishes Chef John, thats the best comment ever

[PanCakePB]

@foodwishes hey im vietnamese and we in our pho spices we use the same thing thats in the five spice

[Bulrog10]

@jagjagin yeah what are you stupid what he said

[jagjagin]

@Bulrog10 learn how to talk to ppl

[boogiechillen123]

@jagjagin don't you feel guity about causing pain to broccoli?

[ReynaAlacrana]

@jagjagin

You can always kill an animal in a humane way. Just like you can kill a human instantly, or you can torture him/her to death. Not the same thing :)

Besides, in a free-range farm, the animals run free and are fed green stuff, whereas in factory farms they're all cramped in a cage for most of their short lives, and forced to grow and get fatter way faster than at a normal pace.

[littledude4eva]

@jagjagin LOl your a tard

[jagjagin]

@littledude4eva dude just drop it

[derekbegins]

@jagjagin torture means in a much much longer and painful way..killing means,bang-1 hit k.o. 1-3 seconds dead.

[stargirlvictoria]

@jagjagin he basically means don't buy chicken that's been cramped in cages :)

[LadyLatias]

@jagjagin Free-range chicken is chicken that has led a good life, they're outside and able to scratch at the ground and run around and haven't been crammed into cages their entire lives. They are also killed more ethically too, usually stunned and the slaughter done quickly, to avoid the chicken being in pain. So it isn't 'torture'.

You get a much better flavour out of a free range than you do out of caged because they are under less stress.

[Menelyagor12]

@jagjagin ur dumb

[jagjagin]

@Menelyagor12 stfu fool

[Menelyagor12]

@jagjagin bum hurt?

[OS253]

I love chicken!

[ayublover]

its looks good.. but if you make your own sambal from scratch is more awesome.. that how my mom made it...

I hope your book will be available in Singapore

Cheers =)

[paksallion]

all quite random ingredients lol i got some shopping to do!

[CyBoi]

My family dont really grill much so we dont own one. Will it come out the same if I baked it instead

[TheBigBadWoIf]

who are the 4 jackasses who thumbed down this video?

[Antiks72]

sambal olek! Good stuff. 

[zombiesonar]

I see you use the great aussie bbq the webber. good choice :P

[TheRamstoss]

What kind of grill do you use, Chef John? Would you recommend anything under the $300 range?

[robthemilt]

I've been watching your videos for over a year, I love them, I try a bunch of them, but this one is definitely my favorite so far. I do something very similar already, definitely a well done dish.

And congratulations on all your other successes lately. Oh and extra points for having the balls to use fish sauce.

[jannali51]

[ivanandreas]

mmm wut is fish sauce?? and where can i get them??

[sonyadd]

im a vegetarian.this was extremely hard to watch

[fightnight14]

I really like spicy-hot food. This one is for me!!

[oilovebabii]

If I can grill something to eat my own,

How good it is?...

[l3urla]

yummmmmmmyyyyy i love chinese food!! cuz i'm effin chinese :3

[atalina08]

Yeah nice video ..as always Chef. Definitely trying this. BUT, what i wanna know is when r u going to ur audition for a show on FoodNetwork? - I want details! Ima faithful voter man.

[shinegreyruin]

why are you trying to make corruption here? it's more live nine spices, not five. :)

[meknewxenu]

Looks wonderful

[TheMRamstaff]

dont use tortured chicken? yeah y like how americans make such statements and do the things they do :))

no offence cheff;) good chicken recipe , but cannot find that 5 spice thing in my city , gonna try to recreate it :D

[ddbrd]

I have honestly got to stop watching your video's while on my diet. You owe me new jeans Chef John!

[aznlilhero]

wow so fresh!

[Coldworld26]

Did you get the Food Network Star thing?

[DonutsRGooood]

@Coldworld26 YES HE DID!! =D

[JohnWoo]

So what's going on with the food network? Are you gonna get your own show since you won?

[MsLauraBoss]

If we didn't use a chicken that was tortured before we ate it, then we'd never eat chicken... Killing a chicken is torturing it. (: but yeah i get what your saying... chickens shouldnt be treated the way they are..

[SwagBucksTutsnTips]

dear chef john, stop making mini tsunamis in my mouth! haha looks good =]

[ARabidPigeon]

That chicken did not die it vain. He looks delicious.

[kishypoo28]

Those 4 persons must be vegetarians. This looks so succulent. Hmmmm

[argentina123]

what knives do u use? that one looked so sharp and cutting the meat looked so easy with it.!

[OneSearchingForTruth]

Five Spice? That used to be my stripper name! (J/K) =)

[NightWind420]

Chef John, please show us your kitchen!

how large is your spice rack and all that :D

Love your simple yet delicious recipes!

[NightWind420]

Chef John, please show us your kitchen!

how large s your spice rack and all that :D

Love your simple yet delicious recipes!

[ItsMeFawn]

Instead of Sambal -- wouldn't Siracha sauce be a good substitution? Oddly enough I have all these ingredients except the Sambal, I just have the Siracha. I will cook this Sunday after our "Hurricane" passes. Not a drop of rain in Wilm, NC (WHICH IS THE BEACH!) LMBO!!!

[alexanderblake]

What else could I use 5 spice powder for?

[ItsMeFawn]

@alexanderblake google is your friend...it has a whole BUNCH of recipes you can use or even on YouTube. just type in 5-spice powder.

[courtneyliu]

@alexanderblake 5 spice is also good for marinading chicken and beef for stir-fry.

[YT747]

4 people only know how to make 4-spice chicken.

[FikiNom]

@YT747 win!

[iyouchan]

Hmm, you forgot to add sugar to the dipping sauce unless it's intended to like that but that's how Cambodians/Thais/Vietnamese people make it.

Great job with the chicken though. It's the exact ingredients but you added ginger! Never tried that before but I'm looking forward to. Sounds good. :)

[foodwishes]

@iyouchan the seasoned rice vinegar already has salt and sugar in it. :-)

[MademoiselleMinerva]

Is 5 spice the same as "all spice"?

[HeavenlyMakeUp]

i still have some 5 spice from when i tried out your peach tart thing last year. i need to try this!

[Punkylolita]

How can you differentiate organic chicken from tortured chicken in packages at the grocery store? I always wondered... (I don't shop enough in the meat department with my mom haha)

[freebrook]

@Punkylolita it will be labelled "torture-free organic happy dead chicken"

[jadakiss228]

im making this for pot luk on saturday...

[claudeleason]

wow that knife is as sharp as a scalpel

[LMN1968]

That looks DELICIOUS!

[wafflethug]

what exactly is "fish sauce"? It sounds so generic, like meat juice

[aurayon]

@wafflethug It's a sauce made from fermented, salted fish.  It's a condiment like soy sauce, which can be used for cooking and dipping sauces.

[ilovebeachnmusic]

what's jazz song called in intro? and artist who play??

[KScharba]

I like for my chicken to be sodomized. This looks great, I've got to try it.

[randysgr]

Worried about Salmonella then make extra marinade set it aside and use that when basting. Sorry John, raw Chicken juice on cooked meat freaks me out.

[prettyinpunk666]

Now I don't even want my dinner. I want that.

[bluebird4498]

Yummer, But Very Good Than African Pepper Soup

[DraciaNightcat]

<3 fivespice

[JChan9219]

That chicken loookss soo good i would shove my third leg into the chicken.

[fireandblazes26]

Am I the only one here that thinks Chef John always says "enjoy" in an odd accent????!!

[longshanlung]

I thought the slaw were noodles xD

[dljones33]

I want a recording of Chef John saying the word "with" because you always know something good is coming afterwards. I'm fixated on the word rofl....

[liltwinshedevil]

Looks delish!! <3<3

[sterlingman]

Yes, don't torture a chicken before you kill it and eat it. BTW, aren't you torturing a chicken by killing it to eat it?

Anyway, that chicken does look good! But the cilantro in the salad, I don't think so.

[CaptainAtMan]

@sterlingman Organic chickens are at least healthy and active before they're killed. Most chicken, like Tyson or other brands are typically hormone injected to grow to unhealthy sizes where they live out short miserable lives.

[sterlingman]

@CaptainAtMan I get that. Not that I'm defending companies like Tyson (Please!), but I wouldn't blame just Tyson and other brands, I'd also blame those that want over-grown chickens; unfortunately, some people think bigger is better.

[thesoapheiress]

this looks so yummy! i'm chinese and i don't care that it's not "authentic" - good food is good food. i sent this recipe to my mum and i'm hoping she'll make this for me when i go home to canada! but i asked her to make it with all chicken legs because we prefer dark meat. :)

[WhoaKaela]

good advice about not getting tortured chicken.

[1kperday]

Don't put the raw chicken juice/glaze on during the last 5 min or so... but that should go without saying. This looks great!

[iSimpleGirl]

goo azn cooking :D

[ShaunieceCooks]

you always make my mouth water and I will try the 5 spice. Thanks Chef John D.

[belgiumchoco1]

yeah that 5 spice you can find that in just about any chinese store..Its very nice actually.

[fantasticstriker1]

i'm from malaysia, so 'sambal' is such a very essential ingredient in our cooking. kudos chef john!

[cyoohoos]

@foodwishes You should have reminded people to make sure they cook the raw marinade off the chicken when they baste it. I can see someone basting the chicken with raw marinade right before they take the chicken off the grill. SALMONELLA warning....!

[ikeagirl88]

Chef John, can you please show me how to make spaghetti squash correctly and also what is best to eat it with ? Thanks so much I will be looking forward to it!

[flippy9133]

how can someone dislike this o.O

[0asian1nvasion0]

whaaaat? did you just say "not all five-spice powder have the same combination?" you sure?

[foodwishes]

@0asian1nvasion0 yes

[boozelover123]

@0asian1nvasion0

That's true. I actually checked out few different brands of 5-spice power in an Asian store the other day and they all contain different spices. Weird.

[JTshoot]

@0asian1nvasion0 Did you just quote a question ? Because it didn't sound like he was asking his viewers.

[euroharm]

your intro is too old.

[SerenityM16]

Don't buy from whole foods either, over weight discrimination, unethical business practices, anti-health care, etc. And I think, I'm not sure if this is the one, they buy their "organic" food from China where it can't be 100% confirmed it's organic.

[AirrowRocket]

Very nicely done.

[HessedJoy]

Drooling all over my shirt! :)

[CMETRIQUE]

grilling outside are we?? it's almost snowing here lol :(

[purplehazee117]

wow you made those gashes on that chicken like it was butter...i need that knife.

[lillithdv8]

I'm hungry now! And I just had dinner

[mickysantos]

@mrssexypants1 lol not free range means they love caged and stressed all their lives and are fed so they gain weight quickly and in an unhelathy way. If you cook the meat enough, the "diseases" won't affect you, though I'd really like examples of those diseases you talk about.

[quickhalfpint]

@mrssexypants1 More disease in a confind, dirty, nasty, packed environment than the clean fresh air, green grass, and ability to do what chickens do. Visit a commercial chicken house some time - if the smell doesn't keep you from even going down the driveway first!!!

[foodwishes]

@mrssexypants1 Yeah, I don't think so.

[kerberos623]

@foodwishes I just googled "free range chickens more exposed to disease" and there are some studies out there suggesting that free range will have a greater exposure to diseases, BUT that does not mean that free-range chickens are "Exposed to whatever diseases are out there".

[thatguy5557123]

@foodwishes you just gained a new level of respect for that dude

[spankses]

@foodwishes exposed to disease? that guy is an idiot.....i made this...ooohhhh baby was good...

[ac7933]

@mrssexypants1

Because conventionally raised animals and poultry are often kept in very confined quarters day and night, and are not given space to roam, they do not get the exercise needed to keep them healthy. Between the poor quality food, the lack of exercise and the close quarters between animals, sickness is very common and spreads like wildfire through the barns. Consequently, antibiotics and other drugs are used on an ongoing basis in an attempt to keep the animals healthy.

[kentpaul65102]

@ac7933 also there is more collagen developed in the connective tissues of free ranged poultry which enhances the flavor of the meat.

[WhoaKaela]

@mrssexypants1 I think the only viewers he's gonna lose are the ones who like to torture their food. And good riddance to them, really.

[Winstonz0r]

@mrssexypants1 Shut the fuck up.

[homycraz2]

@mrssexypants1 are you just retarded or blind.

when chickens are all cooped up together thats when disease spreads. I honestly dont care if the chicken is tortured as long as its healthy.

Thats why i buy jewish kosher meats, since they have higher quality control.

[TheRealXesc]

@mrssexypants1 I doubt Chef John will lose many viewers, besides you, I hope! Go somewhere else with that ridiculous "I just wanna bitch" attittude, there's even therapy available for that.

Chef John, this looks delicious! And I agree with a few of the posters, it's good to remind people of the last 5 mins of no basting (even if it should be obvious)

[chaserbaser1988]

@mrssexypants1 you wont lose me as a viewer =)

[alyssaxoxo8]

@mrssexypants1 Do you think that the USDA will just let farmers grow chicken that are filled with "whatever diseases" out there? Think about it, organic meats, dairy and eggs came from free range animals and they're considered as good eats. Kobe beef is from cows that are cared for and not CAGED, and its considered to be one of the top types of beef out there.
