MUNCHIES brings it back to basics with a new video on the holiest of dishes, fried chicken. “I’m not from the South,” discloses host Matty Matheson, who prepares a hearty serving of his “squad fried chicken,” a variation of the Southern fried classic cooked with pickle brine, buttermilk, flour and seasoning. Using simple ingredients and a bubbling pot of oil, Matty shows us how to “elevate” the common chicken dish to the most delectable of fried foods, which he digs into with friends Avi Gold, Adrian Montesdeoca and Sam James.

Watch how to make squad fried chicken in the latest episode seen above and also check out MUNCHIES’ debut episode of The Pizza Show.
