I Made Long John Silver's At Home (Since I can't find one)

With so many Long John Silver’s locations closing down over the years, finding that classic fish and chicken platter is almost impossible for most of us. Today, we are bringing the drive-thru to the home kitchen. In this video, I’m showing you how to recreate that legendary, light, and airy batter from scratch. We are making the full platter: crispy fried fish, tender chicken planks, and yes—we are absolutely making the extra batter crunchies to go on top. If you don't have a location near you anymore, you can still get that exact nostalgic crunch right at home. *TIMESTAMPS* 0:00 Intro 0:13 Preparing the Chicken 1:26 Making Homemade Coleslaw 2:19 Prepping the Fish Planks 3:35 The Fries and Hush Puppies 4:14 Prepping the Wet Batter 5:06 Frying the Chicken Planks 6:09 Frying the Fish Planks 6:38 Making the Extra Batter Crunchies 7:03 Plating the Platter FISH-O-FILET VIDEO https://youtu.be/82twNca6hmk *CHICKEN* 1 lb chicken breast 1/2 cup chicken broth 2 Tbsp Shaoxing cooking wine (optional) 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 1/2 tsp msg *FISH* 12 oz cod 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/4 tsp black pepper *BATTER* 2 cups self-rising flour start with 1 1/2 cups cold water add more until pancake batter consistency 1 tsp fine salt 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/4 to 1/2 tsp msg *COLESLAW* half a head of cabbage 1 medium carrot 1 cup mayo 2 tsp white distilled vinegar 2 tsp sugar 1/4 tsp onion powder salt and pepper to taste *TARTAR SAUCE* 1 1/2 cups of mayonnaise 3 to 4 cornichons (or dill pickles) 1 to 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice 1 1/2 tsp dehydrated onion (or use 1 Tbsp finely minced fresh onion) 1 1/2 Tbsp freshly chopped parsley 1/4 tsp sugar salt & pepper to taste *store and set in the fridge for a couple of hours for best results* If you enjoyed bringing this classic back to life, hit that like button and subscribe for more comforting home cooking.
