This sweet base is then combined with flavoring, artificial colors, and a preservative to extend the candy's shelf life. As the candy cools, it is formed into long ropes and cut into small pieces, which are wrapped individually. The pair chose the name Jolly Rancher to attempt to appear friendly and inviting to customers.
Originally, Jolly Rancher Company sold ice cream and chocolate alongside the hard candies they are now known for, but they quickly decided to turn their focus toward the hard candies only. It's not unusual to find twice as many cherries and strawberries in a picked-over bag. Again, hard evidence? Maybe not. But definitely proof of the peoples' preference …. Answer: no.

Crunching a Jolly Rancher is like rolling the dice. 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.

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.

Popeyes offers two sides with rice: the ultra-popular Red Beans and Rice, which I previously cloned here , and this rice made Cajun-style with ground beef and spices. The real recipe at the chain most likely includes chicken gizzard, but that ingredient is not always easy to find outside of buying a whole uncooked chicken that includes a bag of giblets tucked inside.
So I set out to design a recipe without that ingredient and the results were great. Can't get enough Popeyes? Find all of my recipes here. That chain's famous formula is why there are now over Bonchon outlets in nine countries, including over one hundred in the US and more planned to open here in the near future. The biggest challenge when recreating Korean chicken wings is finding the perfect magical mixture for the batter that fries to a golden brown, and with tender crispiness that stays crunchy long after the wings have been brushed with the flavorful glaze.
I knew that a traditional double-frying technique would help create the crunchy coating we needed, but it would take some trial-and-error to determine the best time splits.
The wings are par-fried, rested, then fried again until done, but just how long to give each stage was yet to be determined since every recipe I found for Korean chicken used different times and temps. Some recipes even changed the temperature between frying steps, but I found those made the recipe too difficult to manage when frying multiple batches. I eventually settled on degrees F with most of the frying done up front in the par-fry stage. The spicy version is made by adding Korean red chili paste gochujang and Korean red pepper powder gochugaru to the soy garlic recipe.
You can find these ingredients at Asian markets or online, and if you like your wings spicy you'll want to add these perky ingredients. Click here for more delicious appetizer recipes.

My solution was to make a flavorful maple gummy puck that could be neatly petite diced and sprinkled into the batter as it cooks. Just be sure to use maple flavoring rather than maple extract for the maple gummy. Maple flavoring has a more intense flavor than the extract and the dark brown caramel coloring will make your maple bits look like pancake syrup.
This recipe duplicates the bacon version of the sandwich, but you can replace the bacon with a patty made from breakfast sausage for the sausage version, or just go with egg and cheese. Get more of my McDonald's copycat recipes here. Tangy grilled chicken, sweet Asian chile sauce and dumpling sauce stuffed into crispy wonton shells and topped with a crunchy slaw and cilantro mix. Re-creating this hit appetizer requires cloning four parts; none of which are difficult: Grilled chicken, coleslaw, secret dumpling sauce, and the crispy wonton shell to hold all of it together.
The slaw is best when it has some time to sit and wilt a bit, so plan ahead for the best flavor. Just measure out 4 cups of the cabbage blend and mix it with the minced cilantro and dressing. Just be sure to leave plenty of room in the taco for the delicious fillings to come.

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. If you love Outback Steakhouse , check out my other clone recipes here.

After several weeks of trying different approaches to proofing these cinnamon bit—filled bagels, I decided the best solution was to form the bagels and proof them overnight in the cold. The next day the bagels came out of the refrigerator not much bigger, but after sitting for several hours at room temperature they more than doubled in size and had a light sourdough flavor like the original.
The cinnamon drops that go into the bagel were also tricky. I found the best way was to make oven-cooked cinnamon candy bound with cornstarch and milk and tenderized with oil. This sugar mixture is baked in a loaf pan until no longer bubbling, then cooled and shattered into tiny pieces. When the candy is broken up, much of it gets pulverized into dust, which you separate from the crumbs with a sieve.
Some techniques call for malt in the water, but sugar works just fine and makes the perfectly shiny, blistered crust you see in the photo. Panera Bread has amazing soups too!
For this banana bread knock-off, I settled on a blend of both baking powder and baking soda for a good crumb and dark crust that perfectly resembles the original. And I decided it best to go big on the dark brown sugar, not only for flavor but also because the extra molasses in the darker brown sugar triggers a helpful leavening boost from the baking soda.
All other copycats I saw got it wrong when it came to the nut blend, so if you want a true clone, this is the hack to bake. I've cloned a ton of drinks and treats from Starbucks. Once that was done, I measured increments of balsamic glaze into the alfredo sauce until the color and flavor matched the original.

To help fill the void left by a lack of dine-in customers when the coronavirus pandemic struck the U. That spring and summer we saw a surge in ghost kitchens and virtual restaurants where all the food was prepared for delivery only. Ghost kitchens are kitchens without seating and minimal, if any, signage. Virtual restaurants are delivery-only services where food is prepared in established restaurant kitchens. The secret is to brine the chicken first, then blot it dry and rub the skin with oil to help make it crispy while it smokes.
Set wood chips or pellets in foil over the heated side, then close the lid. Pick one or more , toss your wings in it, and dive in. Or maybe you just want to go naked? These wings also taste great without any sauce at all. In early , after months and months of test-marketing an improved cheesy dip recipe in Dallas, Detroit, and San Diego, the Mexican chain introduced Queso Blanco to the entire U.

But in , after repeated customer requests, the new Vanilla Frosty debuted nationwide. Like its chocolate counterpart, the Vanilla Frosty is a super-thick milkshake that has the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.
Don't even attempt to get it through the straw they serve it with unless you feel the urge to collapse a lung. That's why they also give you a spoon. Start there. And, just as with my improved Classic Chocolate Frosty hack , you must make this in a home ice cream maker to get the same thick and creamy consistency as the real thing. Sure, other Frosty clones might taste okay, but if it ain't thick like this one, it ain't a good hack. Jolly Rancher Hard Candy.
