**A Culinary Adventure with Edible Glassy KFC**

As I held up the Custom glassy KFC, I couldn't help but exclaim my chickenequally beautiful too. The glassy exterior was a sight to behold, and I was excited to try this unique twist on traditional fried chicken. My meal consisted of a two-piece classic with dark meat, accompanied by a biscuit and mashed potatoes. I remembered eating the same meal as a child with my mom, and it brought back fond memories.

I decided to start with the drumstick, eager to taste the fusion of flavors within. As I took a bite, I was struck by the shell's shatteringly crunchy texture and sweet flavor. It was like biting into fresh strawberry candy – a delightful surprise that added a pop of freshness to the savory chicken. The inside of the drumstick was juicy and bursting with flavor, making me wonder how they achieved such a perfect balance.

The crunchiness of the shell was a game-changer, offsetting the sweetness and adding depth to each bite. I savored every moment, enjoying the combination of textures and flavors. As I continued to explore the edible glassy KFC, I discovered that it was too sweet for my taste – but not terrible. It was a risk worth taking, especially given the innovative concept behind this product.

Next, I tried the strawberry version, which did not disappoint. The inside had become super juicy and popped with a strawberry burst of flavor, much like biting into fresh strawberry candy. The outside remained crunchy, shattering as I bit into it, making me want to have another bite immediately. The bubbles on the surface added an extra layer of fun, and I couldn't help but wonder what other unique flavors this product had in store.

One thing became clear – these edible glassy KFCs were best enjoyed fresh and right after dipping. As they sat out for too long, they began to exude their juicy strawberry flavor, which was both delightful and distracting. If you wanted to savor the experience, it was essential to try them immediately, perhaps even with a little patience to allow the flavors to meld together.

The idea behind these edible glassy KFCs is undeniable – a fun twist on traditional fried chicken that combines crunchiness with sweetness. While my taste buds might not have been entirely won over by this unique product, I could see why others would love it. The Asian heritage of this concept was interesting, although not something I chose to explore further.

In the end, I was left with a newfound appreciation for the edible glassy KFC, even if it wasn't my cup of tea. My kids might have been more adventurous and eager to try these tasty morsels, but I couldn't help but enjoy the experience nonetheless. As I finished my meal and placed the leftovers in the refrigerator, I knew that this culinary adventure would stay with me for a long time.

**The Art of Edible Glassy KFC**

As I continued to explore the world of edible glassy KFC, I began to appreciate the artistry behind this unique product. The creation of each shell was like a work of art – delicate, precise, and requiring patience. It's clear that the makers of this product took great care in crafting every detail, from the texture to the flavor.

One thing struck me as I watched the creators at work: the way they manipulated the sugar syrup to create those perfect, crunchy shells was nothing short of magic. The bubbles on the surface added a whimsical touch, making each shell look almost like a tiny piece of candy. It was an exercise in patience and skill, as each delicate glassy KFC required time and attention to shape.

The colors used for these edible glassy KFCs were also noteworthy – vibrant, bright, and playful, much like the flavor profiles they represented. Whether it was strawberry or other flavors, each one seemed to pop with color and vibrancy, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience.

In some ways, creating edible glassy KFC is not so different from baking a cake or making cookies. Both require attention to detail, patience, and precision – but both also offer a world of creativity and experimentation. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a culinary novice, there's something endearing about watching someone carefully craft each delicate shell.

**The Sweetness of Edible Glassy KFC**

There's something special about biting into a crunchy shell filled with juicy strawberry flavor or another unique combination. It's like experiencing a mini-taste adventure in every bite, as the flavors meld together on the palate. Whether you're enjoying a classic KFC meal or trying out some new flavors, there's no denying that sweet treats bring us joy.

The relationship between sweetness and savory is complex – both balance each other out to create something greater than the sum of its parts. In the world of edible glassy KFC, this dynamic is expertly managed, adding a delightful depth to each bite. It's not just about satisfying our sweet tooth; it's also about creating an experience that delights the senses.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en(bright music)- Greetings, my beautiful lovelies.It's Emmy, how are you?It's great to see you and welcome back.Today I'm going to bemaking edible glass KFC.KFC as in Kentucky Fried Chicken,edible glass meaning tanghulu.Have you heard of tanghulubefore? You might have.I first attempted a recipe oftanghulu about five years ago,and it is a Chinese confection.It's basically candied syrupwhere fruits oftentimesare dipped into it,and it forms a beautiful,crystal clear, crackly shell,and you bite it into it,get a punch of sweetnessand a nice shattering texture,and inside you get a nice juicy fruit.So the presentation is stunning.You often have a skewerof fruits, a long one.Sometimes it's strawberriesor crab apples or Mayport apples,and they're strung up,then dipped into a vat of molten syrup.It's allowed to cool,and when it cools, it has a beautiful,crystalline, clear shell.It looks like it's beendipped in epoxy or resin,and then you bite into itand it's like you've got a candy shellon the outside of the fruit.Absolutely beautiful.I tried it for the firsttime five years ago,it failed the first time.If you wanna see that video,I'll put the tanghulu video down below.But in my second attempt,I was successful.So I'm going to be usingthat same syrup recipethat I used in that video.But today I am going to bemaking a fried chicken version,more specifically KFC.The inspiration for thiswas a TikTok video I sawwhere someone used Popeye's.They candied Popeye's chicken.I don't have a Popeye'slocation relatively close to me,so I went with KFC, plus KFCwas what I grew up eatingwith my mom on Wednesday nightwhen my dad had to work late.So there is that kind ofnostalgic connection to it.But I'm gonna be taking a drumstickand I'm going to be to tanghuluing it.It sounds outlandish,but this sugary, sweet shellon the outside of acrispy chicken drumsticksounds kind of fantastic.You've got just super sweetand then savory together,and then you've got crunch.I just need to know whatthat experience is like.And if I have enough syrup,I also have some fresh strawberriesthat I picked up from my local farm,and I'm gonna do a strawberry versionbecause they are so delicious.So, so delicious andsuch a pleasure to eat.All right, with that, let'sgo ahead and get started.So when it comes to candy makingand specifically sugar candy making,a thermometer is pretty important.You can pick up a candythermometer like thisat most grocery stores,They're relativelyinexpensive. They're about $10.And it's really importantbecause we need to cook thisto a very specific temperature,300 degrees Fahrenheit,about 150 degrees C,and it tells you right here,we're gonna cook it tothe hard crack stage.Now, this is a candy thermometerbecause that is the indicationof the type of candy.We're gonna be doing hard cracks.So that's like a lollipop consistency.There's also soft crack,firm ball, hardball softball.The ball stages are more formaking toffees and caramels.So you wanna get it pretty hot.Basically, we're evaporatingthe water out of the sugar,and when that happens, sugar takes ona very interesting,different kinds of behaviors.It's fascinating, but thetemperature is really crucial.So the range for hard crackis about 300 to 310 degrees.Once it goes to 330, thesyrup will start to caramelizeand then we start getting caramel.So, very interestingsugar and very tricky,I've noticed in my experience.I made dragons beard candy,and that was an utter debacle.I finally did get it.But sugar is tricky, is whatI'm trying to share with you.So this is perfectly fine to use,but I'm gonna be usingthis thermometer instead.I quite like it because I can set itto the temperature thatI want, 300 degreesand it will tell me when it reaches that.So what I've alsolearned from making candyis that there is some residual heat.Even when you turn off theheat, the sugar remains hotand it often will continue to heat a bitabove the temperature.So it's really great whenyou can get it preciselyat the temperature you want.So, no heat to the pot yet.We're going to add our three ingredients.Sugar, lots of sugar,plain old white sugar,corn syrup, light corn syrup.This is a crucial ingredient.When I first made tanghulu the first time,I didn't use this and my syrup seized,and that was a problembecause we want this tobe a fluid concoctionso we can dip our things, right?Then we're going to add some water.I'll put a link down below to my websitewhere you can find all the measurements.So now we're gonna just mix this together.It's not gonna mix very wellbecause there's a lot of sugar in there,but once we start applyingheat, it'll start to melt.So we're gonna put thison a medium high heat.And in my experience,this went pretty quickly,about seven minutes,but I'll set my timer to giveyou an estimate of the time.So light that that medium high(timer beeps)and we're gonna start the countdownand see how long this takes.And we want this to get to 300 degrees,which is very hot.So whenever you areworking with sugar syrups,remember that it'smolten, it's so, so hot.So be very careful.Kids, do not do this by yourself.Alrighty, lovelies, I will come backwhen we get a little bitcloser. (exhales through lips)Right, my lovelies.We are getting close, we are at 292,and that took all of eight minutes,eight minutes and 20 seconds.So we're nearly there. 293.And while I was waiting for thisto come up to the boil here,I went ahead and tookmy KFC and skewered themso they would be alittle bit easier to dip.(thermometer beeping)300, kill the heat,and we are ready to dip.Eight minutes, 40 seconds.(thermometer beeping)I know, I hear you.Oh, I also have my strawberriesthat I've also-(thermometer beeping)Oh my gosh.So I've killed the heat, right?It's still going up.So it's at 310 degrees.(thermometer beeping)See, unplug that becausewe don't need that anymore.Set that aside.And we're gonna take our chickenand dip it into our syrup.Drain it.Look at that. That's gorgeous.And then set it on our pan to cool.Other drumstick.Dip, twist.Look at that, that's beautiful.And set.Okay, now we're gonna do thegood stuff. Strawberries.Look at that. So beautiful.I'm placing them on parchmentso that they don't stick.They create such abeautiful, glassy finish.Oh my gosh, so beautiful.Be careful, that syrupis so incredibly hot.Do not get it on your skin.Dip, twist and pull out.So the vendors that sell thesekeep the syrup at 300 degrees.So I think that's tricky,but it's important sothat it is still dippable.You know what I mean?Now, you can do any kind of fruit,as long as it doesn't have too muchlike exposed water or wetness,like any kind of sliced fruitwould be not recommended.Like watermelon. Something like a grape.I've seen tangerines, strawberries,something that has a dry exterior.And a tasty fruit is dippable,I believe, for tanghulu.Alrighty. So I am done dipping.I'm gonna let this cool offand then once it's cooledoff, we can taste it.It needs to cool off in order to hardenand get nice and crackly, so.Alrighty, lovelies,let's taste our tanghulu.It didn't take any time atall for these to harden up.Just let them cool for a couple of minutesand they're glassy hard.(strawberry clacking)Can you hear that against my teeth?Incredible. Look how stinking gorgeous.Glossy. Oh, shiny, beautiful.I have to say, my chickenequally beautiful too.Look at this.Custom glassy KFC.Isn't that incredible? (chuckles)I got a two piece meal.This is the classic. Ialways get dark meat.This is what I got as a child with my mom.It comes with a biscuitand mashed potatoes.I would eat the mashedpotatoes, usually half of them,it used to come in a styrofoam cupand my mom would always eat the biscuit.Biscuit. Mm-hm.I would have dipped the thigh in,but something about a drumstickis so iconic, you know?Alrighty, let's taste the drumstick first,because I'm just dying toknow what this tastes like.Alrighty, my lovelies,edible glassy tanghulu KFC.(chuckles) Itadakimasu.(shell crunching)My goodness, did you hear that?Mm.(shell still crunching)Crunch is fantastic.Mm-hm.Shatteringly crunchy, very sweet,but somehow it kind of goeswith the savory chicken.It's too sweet.(shell crunches)Mm. Mm-hm.But then you take anotherbite of the fried chicken,and then it kind of offsets it.So you've got the juicy chicken inside,you've got the batterand the coating of thefried chicken on the outsidethat gives you that fried chickeny flavorwith its 11 herbs and spices.And then you've got thisshell on the outsidethat is super crunchyand hard and very sweet.(shell crunches)(crunching) Mm-hm.(drawer rattles)It's a little too sweet forme, but it's not terrible.I mean, it's not terrible.Look at that glass on the outside.It's not glass, it's sugar,but it's not terrible.It's sweet and savory. Alittle bit too much sweet.But now I know what it's like.Would I do it again? Probably not.Would I eat KFC drumsticks again? Yes.(crunches) Mm-hm. Mm.Sends me back. Takes me back.My mom would order the two pieceand I usually would only be able to finishjust the drumstick.But drumstick, I've been eatingdrumsticks since I could,I think, eat solid food.That's what you're given as a child.Well, anyways, Asian heritage.Anyways, let's not even go there.So, now let's try the strawberry version.Pfft. Looking forward to this.Happy summer, y'all.(shell crunching)I mean, do you hear that?It's like fresh strawberry candy.The inside has become super juicyand pops with a strawberryburst of flavor.The outside is still crunchyand shatters as you bite into itand says you should have another one.Look at the bubbles on that. I love that.Uh-huh.(shell crunching)That was a big berry.Whoa!So good.I suspect these would not store very well.So once you make them,eat them right away.I think that would bedifferent if you usedsomething like a grape,which has a little thicker skin on it.Strawberries are very juicy,and so once you dip themand they're in contact withthat extremely hot syrup,they cook a little bitand start releasing some of their juices.So it's very juicy in the inside.And a few of these arealready starting to drip.So if you can, try to dipall the way to the inside of the sticks,you can kind of seal in the strawberry.But even so, they're already startingto exude the strawberry juice.So they should be eatenright after you dip them.If you dipped somethingthat has more of a skinor that's a little bitfirmer, say a crab appleor a grape, a little bit thicker skin,or even a tangerine,you can have more time betweencooking and then serving.Just a little bit more time.I'm gonna place these in the refrigerator,but I cannot wait formy kids to try these.Absolutely delicious.I'm sure they'll try the chicken as well,because they're adventuresome like that.Alrighty, my lovelies.Thanks so much for watching.I hope you enjoyed that one.I hope you learned something.Please share this video with your friends.Follow me on social media,like this video, subscribe.And I shall see you in the next one.Toodle-oo, take care. Bye.(bright music)Oh my gosh, I'm tempted toeat another bite of chicken.I will eat, in fact,well, let's just peelthis a little bit off.Ha-ha-ha.(shell crunching)Mm.I love fried chicken. Mm.Yum.\n"
