The phrase, “I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed,” never affected me until chef John said it.

That’s why your folks are so deeply disappointed in you. 😁

Right?!

The videos where you can Chef John in the mixing bowl are the real treats of Food Wishes

He missed a word , the word is "see".

Pro Tip: Do not "Chef John" in the mixing bowl.

I feel like you made a typo but I know exactly what you mean

Chef John, you are the Thulsa Doom of making your rice go boom.

Crommmmmmmm!

Seek 🐍

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I've hit the like button on countless Chef John videos before even watching them. I was always right to do so.

I made this and it was fantastic. I don't like celery and I felt it needed some kind of texture so I pan toasted some panko in butter and sprinkled it on top. I HIGHLY recommend adding that to this dish because it was delicious and I can't even imagine it without it now.

I'm born and raised in NYC and have been a Bills fan since the 4 SB appearances. I am so happy that the Bills were mentioned. Win or lose we are NY's true team.I love all of your recipes! Go Bills. Keep the videos coming!

Totally agree about the Bills!!! Jets n Giants are NJ teams, NOT NY!!!

Looks fantastic, will certainly make this. Love how you have links to printable recipes. Really enjoy your work.

Made this last night for dinner. A big hit!!

OMG, that looks AMAZING!!! A must make this weekend.

How was it? Doesn't really look great. Not much seasoning

Let's talk 🎁🎁................

That looks AMAZING 🤩

It reminded me of a Persian rice dish called Tahchin Ghalebi. If you substitute the red spices and hot sauce with a heavy dose of safran and tumeric, and mayo with some rich yogurt then mix it with your rice instead of your chicken, and put your rice on top instead of at the bottom, you would get a delicious Tahchin Ghalebi dish (you need to undercook the rice in the first step to get it right though) -- give it a try ;)

Made this tonight for dinner. I thought it was good. I didn’t have any celery or blue cheese on hand which would have really set it off.

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁.............

I made this for lunch today with a few substitutions. It was super amazingly delicious. Not hot at all, but actually lovely and creamy. I particularly loved the addition of the celery - amazing. Perhaps next time I may put a little more hot sauce.

Great video as always Chef John. I use an instapot for rice, it makes rice cooking so much easier.

Man, this one was great!!! Can you do cassoulet some time? I ate it in France once and it is fantastic!!!

I appreciate how you made that in an indiviual serving dish.

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁..........

This looks amazing, and I think an adaptation could be made with macaroni pasta instead of rice (white sauce or cheese sauce).

Oh geez this looks way too good.

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁.............

Looks delicious, can't wait to try it myself ❤

Chef John once said he would never appear in a video again after the legendary burger demonstration. Glad his reflective bowl is on our side. More chef John appearances!

I've been trying to come up with a Super Bowl themed Valentine's Day lunch for the office staff. This needs to be one of the dishes I need to make for the office. Thank you!!🤠

If you want the closest Japanese Youshoku dish, I think that would likely be a Doria. And BTW, Youshoku means western food ;)

Yum!, that looks so delicious Chef John, Thanks for sharing this recipe, I will try this later. God bless.

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁..........

From a fan in Buffalo, NY: Thank you for making Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip into a week night meal. It's Pandemonium!

Wow that looks awesome 👌

Go bills! Please do a pizza log recipe! I moved to Buffalo from California and was horrified by them. I want your neighbors in NorCal to feel the same way.

Chef John is the humor to cooking world that Robin Williams was to comedy world. Just greatness in simple form.

Except instead of a rope Chef John seems to be using mayo.

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁..........

Chef John, I love your channel, please keep up the good work. I know you live in Northern California now but I enjoy when you come back to your Upstate NY roots. Having been born and raised in Rochester, I agree with the Frank’s, celery, and blue cheese.

OMG.. This WILL be made SOON.. :) Thank you Chef John!!

This is a lot like Japanese gratin/doria! For that dish the sauce is more of a bechamel, but it's so good; you should give it a try!

"It's ok to be pokin' but it's not ok to be packin''" That's it. That's now my motto for life 😀

Aww ... already committed to making Foodwishes' Buffalo Chicken Dip which is gone before the game is over whenever I make it. Will use some tips from here in there, though!

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁......................

This looks really great!👍

Just printed out the recipe will be trying this tonight. Will check back in tomorrow lol.

Was delicious lol

Yum! I do low carb do to digestive issues. I'm wondering how this would taste using riced cauliflower instead?!

Why? 😂

LOVE this. Looks so good. Not much a fan of buffalo chicken or blue cheese but I will try this one. Thank you.

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁.................

Looks so delicious thanks for sharing recipe.

Can't wait to make this. We enjoyed shrimp scallops dynamite rice.

I can't help but wonder if you intended the dish to be football-shaped...... Looks delicious.

Looks great! Could you use cream cheese instead of Mayo?

Thanks for sharing such a delicious and tasty rice and chicken combination chef John🙏🏻🌺

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁.................

Just made this for the game... it's so good

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁.............

I'm making this for Sundays super bowl party. I'm just going to substitute boneless chicken breast, I hope it's not too dry.

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁..............

I really want to try this recipe soon! Thanks, Chef John! Could someone recommend an alternative cheese that would go well with buffalo chicken? I love the idea of the cheese on the top, but we're not crazy about bleu cheese in our house, haha. Thanks!

There's that great chef john rice technique. I learned it from one of his videos probably 15 years ago and my peers competed to recruit me for their student houses based partly on that.

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁..........

Chef John eating directly from the serving dish. Savage. But we love it;)

Ha, noticed that. Beyond a taste test he actually went to town on it, not bothering to make a plate for his contractually obligated photos. It must have been irresistible 😂

Looks so spicy!

chef John the king of comedy with 1/2" chicken cubes! LMAO!

Fab-u-lous! Thanks Chef John!

We’re going to make this tonight 🤤

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁.............

Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but Jefe you are a treasure! ❤

Yummy! Can't wait to try it...

Impeccable timing, chef! I was trying to figure out what to make and I was tired of the same old wings! Thanks!

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁.............

If you like hot spice this is a great pick. Unfortunately, it was way too spicy for me to enjoy.

Yummy 😋

I would starve to death without Chef John

"It almost looks like we know what we're doing" Said the og food YouTuber. A titan beyond his age. Who has been cooking for longer then I have been alive.

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁.............

I made it last night pretty good, very rich.

Wow delicious 😋

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁.............

Uncle Jon how you make your rice so fluffy!?!😂😂😂

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁.............

Thank you for this chef.

Let's talk 🎁🎁................

@7:07 Top with Panko breadcrumbs & finish with Parmesan cheese along with fresh Parsley...Yes thank you...🙂

After finishing this video, I am thoroughly curious how much money Chef John put on the Buffalo Bills for the Super Bowl on his futures bet.

Probably less than what he put on his 49ers.

This looks so good...

It looks very delicious 😋👍

Let's talk 🎁🎁................

Hey Chef, I've just got to ask... do you put cayenne on your breakfast cereal? 😁

What would be other sauces you could use for that chicken? I am short on good casserole-type dishes like this on my repertoire and this feels achievable, and I feel like it is a pretty flexible recipe. What would you suggest? Thanks for the vid!

@Lisa Bishop Oh no, no problem with the mayo! I'm allergic to capsaicin so I'd have to modify the recipe quite a bit so I was just wondering what other kinds of sauces could go with the chicken. The cream of mushroom and the french onion soup both sound very tasty :)

@Yieri oh yeà, if the mayo part is what you don't like, try sour cream w a touch of vinegar added. That's how i make my Mac, potato, coleslaw , tuna fish salads etc. Started doing that when i became allergic to eggs. If i don't tell people, they just like it. Once i tell them, they usually turn red añd say how they hate sour cream 😂😂😂 the best was when i married my ex ,who hated sour cream!!! Bought a big tub of French onion dip, watched him eat over 1/2 of it, then read the ingredients,lol. Yeà, he turned a really pretty shade of deep red!!!

@Lisa Bishop Oh those both sound like lovely options, thanks!

Cream of mushroom soup, French onion soup?

Franks Red Hot Sauce all the way. I've been eating Frank's for about 35 years on everything from Tacos to Omelets. Frank's has amazing flavor and not much heat.

Absolutely! Other hot sauces have their place, but not in a Buffalo chicken dish. If it doesn’t result in a violently orange dip/sauce, then what’s the point?

Have you ever tried tofu in something like this? Sounds fun.

You’re a genius!!!❤

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁..........

Hi Chef John, I was wondering if you can do your version of a moussaka recipe?

Pretty good. Mine ended up being very greasy. Could have just been the chicken I used?

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁.............

Chef John, the Hercule Poirot of the culinary world...

This would be amazing on tacos.

Now that is a way to make rice extra nice. You are the Victor von Doom of making it go Boom!

when i was into strength training buffalo chicken and rice was my number 1 go-to.

We made this. Followed your directions to a "T". And something is missing. Nothing is EVER missing. Had to give it the ole tappa tappa. 🙃 But we still love you!

“it’s okay to be poking but it is not okay to be packing” 🤔😂

I hate to question the legendary chef john. However, wouldn't cutting the thighs before cooking decrease cooking time and allow one to better season pre cook due to extra surface area?

"start of boiling" always made me wonder whether it means appearanse on little sporadic bubbles from time to time or the very start of full ongoing boiling where like bubbles are everywhere

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁......................

I would love to see what you make of Balmoral chicken

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁...................................

Personally i think the fatal flaw when people cook rice is that they don't use a rice cooker... 😁

just depends. i hate rice cookers personally

Completely optional. I come from a culture where people have been eating rice thrice a day forever.

Oh damn, I know what I’m eating tomorrow.

Looks amazing. What size pan is this?

Looks so good but sadly I can’t cope with the heat 😢

Same.

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁.............

yup, this is going to a friends super bowl party, thanks

Not a huge fan of like "Cooked Mayo", however I think that the buffalo sauce with sour cream would work really well..

Flavor that really explodes!

You ate that like a savage, CJ 😂

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁.............

Hey chef John, your cayenne looks so much darker than the stuff I have. Do you have tips on finding good cayenne?

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁..........

"buttery and chickeny" 2 of my favorite words.

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁..........

I must try this!

I think I would do shredded chicken instead of diced.

Brilliant!

A layer of a semi-firm melting cheese like a mozzerella or a Queso Oaxaca on the top would take this from "Dynamite" to "Small Thermonuclear Device." Like a Buffalo chicken version of Seafood Doria. And yes... I'd still use the blue cheese too. Because why not?

@Bling Bling I immediately report those scam-comments.

There's like one reply to almost every original comment but can't see them, it seems chef John has applied an effective filter to keep the spammers/scammers out.

@pistol pete Seafood Doria is Japanese, Sparky.

Cheese rice... You are definitely American.

Oooh John, hot sauce, cayenne, then more cayenne and hot sauce on top, My eyes water just thinking about it.

Let's talk 🎁🎁................

Just a fair warning, on high heat, water tends to boil in 10-12 on average.

The celery I buy is not bitter. It is sweet.

Let's talk 🎁🎁🎁......................

Just shit my pants when chef said Louisiana hot sauce 😭😭
