Brigette Pheloung did not teach the step-by-step cooking process but instead, she shared her joyful atmosphere full of fun and laughter. “This is what I’m preparing for dinner when I want to be healthy, a bit lazy, but still want to cook,” she told at the very beginning of the teaching. The main component of the dish is chicken thighs and a salad, thus the listing is kept to the very minimum.
“Only two groceries, that’s all,” observed Pheloung while presenting the chicken bundle. She assured the audience that the cooking process was not as scary as they might imagine, and that they should not display any fear, but rather be brave. The influencer confessed that she was never sure whether she was doing it right or not when it came to chicken cooking. ‘I was always terrified of chicken. I thought I could never find a way to make it flavorful.’
The creator’s way of treating as an ingredient for the dish is rather simple and the one that gives the maximum flavor. ‘Basically, just seasoning with any kind of seasoning that you like,’ she said while blending paprika, garlic powder, and barbecue spice seasoning. A technique of hers is the use of mayonnaise and white wine vinegar to make the seasonings stick to the chicken. She pan-fries the thighs with the skin-side down first because she wants to get the most crunch out of it.
Pheloung was demonstrating her technique while moving the chicken around the pan during the cooking display. ‘What I do is I place them on the skin-side first, make them crispy, and then flip them,’ she said. She is watching the cooking closely and also cooking in a way that she is ‘kind of keep like tossing and turning them until they are done.’
For the side, Pheloung chose a pre-cut salad as her accompaniment for chicken, and she did not have to tell anyone that it was a good idea. ‘I guess the reason why you guys need no tutorial for making this salad is the reason I am joking with you,’ she said while mixing the greens. She expressed her love for the salad she was using calling it her ‘favorite favorite’ and then finishing by adding rice to the dish.
The final dish was a captivating one, combining a perfectly cooked chicken with crispy skin and a fresh salad. ‘It’s into the crisp,’ Pheloung characterized the arrangement of the dish. ‘So crispy. So tempting.’
The whole idea of the recipe which was so easy and doable, met with positive reactions. The users made many comments on the dinner and Pheloung’s look, one of them saying ‘Love your hair and the dinner is also great.’ Another simply stated ‘ok love this sm,’ which is very similar to a summary of the applause for the simple way of things.
In the comment section, some users shared their own cooking tips. One user suggested ‘Try with yogurt instead of mayo’ as an option for a recipe change. Such recipe alterations, in turn, indicated that the people watching were already considering making the dish their own.
Practical queries popped up in the conversation, like ‘What pan do you use!’ which showed the audience’s desire to precisely replicate Pheloung’s cooking achievements. Besides, the issue of aesthetics was also raised, as one viewer stated, ‘I will just never get over your view,’ while referring to the background of the cooking video.
Some comments identified very typical cooking problems. ‘I really wish I liked chicken thighssssssss,’ one person expressed disappointment regarding the one protein that he or she dislikes. Another user asked ‘You don’t wash the chicken? 😭’, which indicated a division between home cooks with different kitchen habits.
Fashion queries were intertwined with the cooking issue, one person asked ‘Hello, where are the grey sweatpants in your story from?’ implying that their interaction with Pheloung’s content had more than one dimension. More compliments about Pheloung’s hair arrived with the remark ‘The hair is hairing lately,’ followed by others saying yes.
Funny comments like ‘Ain’t no thang but a chicken thigh’, managed to get a laughing emoji response. Somebody mentioned a technical error with the comment ‘It’s not white wine vinegar, it’s just vinegar,’ while Pheloung was strict about the use of white wine vinegar in her cooking demonstration.
