Surprisingly, at my first attempt, I was able to make them and the taste was awesome. If you are a chicken meat freak like me, try the following recipes. I am going to prepare this qdoba special grill chicken recipe using the skinless and boneless chicken breasts and special spices. The special things I am using are tongs, grilling pan, an instant-read meat thermometer, and a zip lock bag.
So, when you are going to cook this grilled chicken, make sure you have the proper equipment. Step 1: Take the chicken breasts and wrap them with plastic.
Step 2: With a rolling pin, flatten the chicken breasts so that they can be marinated smoothly. Step 3: In a blender or food processor, add chopped onions, minced garlic cloves, oregano, adobo sauce, and olive oil. Blend all ingredients and make like a liquid paste. Step 4: Take a ziplock bag and place the chicken breasts into it.
Pour the liquid paste and mix the paste with chicken breasts for marinating. You can use a glass bowl also. In that case, cover the glass bowl with plastic or lid. Step 5: Keep your bowl or ziplock bag into a freezer. Let the chicken breasts marinate for at least 30 minutes.
You can keep it like that for up to 2 days if you are not in a hurry. The longer they sit, the juicier and softer the chicken breasts taste. Step 6: Bring out a large grilling pan and add 1 tbsp. Step 7: Place the marinated chicken breasts gently into the grilling pan.

The bestseller on the menu is this orange chicken, which I have to say is pretty damn good orange chicken. Obviously, a clone is needed for this one, stat. This recipe was our 4 most popular in There are many acceptable ways to formulate good queso, but to make this specific queso the ingredients must be correct, and most copycat recipes seem to get it wrong. A few recipes get one of the peppers and two of the cheeses right, but pretty much every recipe out there is a bit of a mess that I will now save you from.
And you won't need to gum up the queso with flour or cornstarch by making a roux because the white American cheese in the mix contains sodium citrate or sodium phosphate—additives that help the cheese melt smoothly and stay that way. Those are red bell peppers and they are roasted, peeled, and seeded along with the poblano and jalapenos before they are diced and added to the cheese sauce. The sauce cooks on low heat, never bubbling, so that it stays smooth and creamy.
When done, the queso might seem thin in the pan, but it will thicken as it cools to a perfect consistency for dipping tortilla chips, or as a topping for tacos and burrito bowls.
There was still plenty of work to do in establishing ratios and settling on an ideal preparation method. Carne asada is almost always made with flank steak or skirt steak. A server at Chipotle told me they use skirt steak, which is surprising since that is the tougher of the two cuts. Perhaps she was wrong about that? Flank steak also has a better flavor than skirt steak, so I'm recommending flank here.
Just be sure not to marinate it for more than 2 days or the acid in the marinade may toughen your steak and you certainly don't want that. After you grill it, slice your carne asada across the grain and use it in burritos, tacos, bowls, or as a Southwest-style salad topper. Click here for more of my Chipotle copycat recipes. Once that was done, I measured increments of balsamic glaze into the alfredo sauce until the color and flavor matched the original. The rest of the recipe was easy.
This recipe will make two servings of the dish and includes preparation for the tenderloins and sauce. A popular staple of any Chinese chain is the fried rice so it better be good, and the version served at Panda Express most certainly is. But I do suggest that you cook the white rice several hours or even a day or two before you plan to make the finished dish.
I found that the cooked rice called for in this recipe works best when it's cold. As for a shortcut, bagged frozen peas and carrots will save you from the hassle of petite-dicing carrots since the carrots in those bags are the perfect size to produce an identical clone.
And they're already cooked. Find all my Panda Express copycat recipes here. As with my KFC Original Recipe hack, we must first brine the chicken to give it flavor and moisture all the way through, like the real thing, then the chicken is double breaded and deep fried until golden brown.
KFC uses small chickens which cook faster, but small chickens can be hard to find. To be sure your chicken is cooked, start frying with the thickest pieces, like the breasts, then park them in a degree oven while you finish with the smaller pieces. This will keep the chicken warm and crispy, and more importantly, ensure that they are cooked perfectly all the way through.
Winston saw the Colonel's handwritten secret recipe for the Original Recipe chicken, and he told me one of the secret ingredients is Tellicherry black pepper.
It's a more expensive, better-tasting black pepper that comes from the Malabar coast in India, and you should use it here if you can find it. Winston pulled me aside and whispered this secret to me when he thought we were off-camera, but our microphones and very alert cameramen caught the whole thing, and we aired it.
I first published this hack in Even More Top Secret Recipes , but recently applied some newly acquired secrets and tips to make this much-improved version of one of the most familiar fried chicken recipes in the world. I incorporated all those missing ingredients into this new hack recipe, tweaked a few other things, and then tested several methods of braising the beef so that it comes out perfectly tender: covered, uncovered, and a combo.
The technique I settled on was cooking the sauce covered for 2 hours, then uncovered for 1 additional hour so that the sauce reduces and the beef transforms into a fork-flakeable flavor bomb. Just know that a wide noodle works best. Even fettuccine is good here. For the little bit of alfredo sauce spooned into the middle of the dish I went with a premade bottled sauce to save time. This recipe was our 3 most popular in And browse my other Olive Garden clone recipes here.
These new rolls had to be slightly softer and sweeter, so I made some adjustments and added a little egg for color. And by baking the dough in a high-rimmed baking pan with 24 dough balls placed snugly together, I ended up with beautiful rolls that rose nicely to the occasion, forming a tear-apart loaf just like the original, but with clean ingredients, and without the dough conditioners found in the packaged rolls. Use these fluffy sweet rolls for sandwiches, sliders, or simply warmed up and slathered with soft European butter.
What sets these potatoes apart from all the others is the secret breading made with a similar seasoning blend to the one used for Colonel's Original Recipe Fried Chicken. To achieve the proper crispiness, the potatoes are par-fried, frozen, then fried again until golden brown.
One important ingredient that completes the flavor is MSG. Monosodium glutamate is a food additive derived from glutamic acid, which is an important amino acid found in abundance in nature, food, and in you right now. Over the last 60 years of study and use, MSG has not only been found harmless in normal amounts, but tests have shown glutamate to be a chemical messenger that benefits gut health, immunity, and brain functions such as memory and learning.
In addition to all of that, it imparts a unique savoriness that enhances flavors in other ingredients and makes your food taste amazing. Using MSG in your food is, literally, smart cooking.
Another important ingredient is ground Tellicherry black pepper, a select black pepper from India. Winston Shelton, a friend of Harland Sanders who invented the first high-volume pressure fryers for KFC, confirmed this. Shelton recalled seeing the ingredient when Sanders showed him the secret formula for the fried chicken seasoning he had scribbled on a piece of paper.
It was a great tip, and fortunately, we caught that moment on camera and you can see it in the show. Later, I conducted a side-by-side taste test with common black pepper and Tellicherry black pepper and discovered Winston was right. If you want the best taste for your clone you'll need Tellicherry pepper, which you can find online and in some food stores.
Be sure to grind it fine before using it. For this recipe, just two russet potatoes are all it takes to make the equivalent of a large serving of fried potato wedges, which will be enough for at least four people. Get more of my KFC copycat recipes here.
Served with garlic mashed potatoes. This recipe includes a marsala sauce that even marsala sauce haters will like. My wife is one of those haters, but when she tried this sauce, her eyes lit up and she begged for more. Build it, sauce it, serve it.
The presentation is awesome, and the flavor will soothe your soul. Stuffed Chicken Marsala experience. We serve our Chicken Parmigiana with a side of spaghetti for dinner. Give yourself an extra hour for this important marinating step. While the sauce cooks, filling your house with its intoxicating aroma, the chicken is breaded and browned. When the marinara is done, top the chicken with the sauce and mozzarella and stick it under your hot broiler until bubbling.
Hopefully, everyone at your house is hungry, because the Olive Garden dinner portion is two chicken fillets, and this recipe will yield a total of four 2-piece servings. Add a small serving of spaghetti on the side, topped with more of the delicious sauce, and you'll have a perfect match to the restaurant plate. Can't get enough Olive Garden?

Sales jumped from 10 thousand cases in the first year to over thousand cases in And just one year later sales hit a million cases. A replica of the original recipe book—without the original recipe in it drat! Country Style is similar to Original, but richer, with more brown sugar. The recipe starts by soaking dry small white beans in a brine overnight. You can skip this step if you've got a fancy Instant Pot using my directions below. I got lucky on the day I picked up a box of chow mein from this huge Chinese chain because they had just run out.
This meant that I could watch from the sidelines as they whipped up a fresh batch in a giant wok over a high flame in the completely visible kitchen, and I was able to take plenty of mental notes. The whole dish took just a few minutes for the enthusiastic chef to prepare, and before I knew it I was out the door with a huge box of hot chow mein ready for hacking.
Just like the real dish, the beauty in this re-creation is its simplicity. There are only seven ingredients, and the prep work is low-impact.
I used dry chow mein noodles also called Chinese stir fry noodles which are easy to find and cheap, and dark soy sauce to get that great caramel color.
A requirement of any visit to Chicago is eating at least one slice of deep dish pizza in the city that perfected it. Deep dish pizza quickly became a Chicago staple after Ike Sewell and Ric Riccardo opened the first Pizzeria Uno in and served a hearty new style of pizza constructed in a high-rimmed cake pan. Employees told me the pizza crusts are partially cooked each morning to cut down on the wait time for customers. Before the restaurant opens each day, cooks press the dough into a pan and then sprinkle it with a little shredded cheese.
The shells are then partially baked and set aside. Later, when an order comes in, the pizza is built into one of the par-baked crusts and finished off. This way customers get their food faster, and the tables turn over quicker. Copying that delicious, flakey crust was the task that took me the longest. After two weeks of baking, I finally settled on a formula that was a mash-up of yeast dough and pie crust and made a perfectly tender deep dish crust, with great flavor that exactly mimicked the original.
If you like Uno, you will love this. Regarding the cheese: be sure your cheese is at room temperature, not cold, or it may not melt all the way through. This recipe will make enough sauce for two pizzas. I just thought you should know that in case you get the urge to make another deep dish after this one disappears.
Or maybe you have salmon fillets in there? And it also makes a great pasta sauce. The secret Toowoomba sauce is a variation on alfredo sauce that Outback served over pasta at one time. These days the sauce is only used to top steak and salmon at the restaurant, but you can also use it on just about any type of pasta. In my early batches of the sauce, I noticed that if the shrimp are added at the beginning they get too tough. This recipe will make enough for four servings.

Since the fast Mexican chain announced the changes several months in advance, I had time to work up a good hack before the tacos were gone forever. After cooking the chicken several ways I settled on poaching the fillets in chicken broth, which kept them moist and added great umami flavor. When the chicken cooled, I shredded it, and added it to a sauce seasoned with spices and lime juice, and flavored with Knorr tomato chicken bouillon.
And don't forget the hot sauce! Determining which five types of cheese are in a prepared sauce is tough without some insider assistance, so before cooking I focused my efforts on convincing a server to ask the chef for the list…and I got it! The blend of cheese used here in the sauce comes straight from the kitchen of my local Olive Garden. The result is a beautiful dish with great sauce and a cheesy topping that should satisfy even the pickiest baked ziti fanatics. I've cloned a ton of dishes from Olive Garden.
See if I hacked your favorite here. But somewhere along the way it appears the company tweaked the recipe to include less filler and more flavor, so I decided I had to create a new Top Secret Recipe for the beef. This recipe makes a duplicate of the beef currently served at Taco Bell. If you want to turn it into a Chalupa—which the restaurant makes by deep frying the flatbread used for Gorditas—the instructions are here.
The secret ingredient in our hack is Knorr tomato bouillon. To get the right flavor, you need to find "Knorr Tomato Bouillon with Chicken Flavor" powder, in a jar. Not the bouillon cubes. Smother your creation in mild , hot or diablo sauce. Try all my Taco Bell copycat recipes here. That is where Thomas created skillet bread that would one day become the famous muffins known for their craggy texture when split in half. I have seen several recipes that claim to re-create these muffins, but none produce the large air pockets that a proper clone requires, in addition to great flavor and a perfectly cooked interior.
To ensure proper nooks and crannies and muffins that are cooked all the way through, I've included some important steps. The dough you'll make here is like a ciabatta dough in that it is very wet. So rather than kneading the dough, you stretch and fold it over several times on a well-oiled surface.
After baking, the muffins are cooked on a griddle or in a pan until dark brown on both sides, then they must cool. This is the hardest part. Leftover Adobo Sauce and Chipotle Peppers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Or place them in a Ziploc bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. They can be used in noodles, blended into a sauce for slow cooking, used to spice up a batch of chipotle honey roasted peanuts, or to season a batch of chili.
Once the chicken has finished marinating, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pan over medium — high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook, turning occasionally, until cooked through, about minutes per side. Chicken should reach F in the thickest part when done. If the chicken is thick and does not finish cooking in the estimated time, it might be necessary to finish cooking it in the oven. Once the chicken has finished cooking, place it on a large cutting board to rest for 10 minutes.
Then slice or chop. Serve on its own or in a burrito, salad or rice bowl. Have you tried this recipe? Leave us a star rating in the comments below and let us know what you think. Absolutely amazing!
