Video Description

Doro Soul Food in D.C. is frying up some of the crunchiest fried chicken infused with Ethiopian spices. Chef Elias Taddesse blends Ethiopian classics like doro wat in the creamy mac and cheese, and uses berbere and mitmita spices in the fried chicken hot oil glaze. Watch his meticulous process of breaking down each chicken, seasoning it with a dry and wet rub, and double-frying it to achieve a perfectly crispy crust and juicy meat inside. #friedchicken #restaurant #chef 00:00 Intro 00:35 Butchering Chickens 01:48 Preparing the Dry Rub 02:25 How NYC's Peking House Influenced Doro Soul Food 03:03 Marinating the Chicken 04:28 Prepping an Ethiopian Clarified Butter 05:05 Making the Doro Wot Mac and cheese 06:30 Frying Chicken 08:05 Opening a New Location 08:28 Drenching the Chicken in Hot Oil 08:48 Why D.C. is the Home of Doro Soul Food Credits: Producer/Director: Gabby Lozano Senior Video Director: Murilo Ferreira Camera: Murilo Ferreira, Connor Reid Production Sound Mixer: Ben Sands Editor: Christian Moreno Assistant Editor: Christine Ring Executive Producer: Stephen Pelletteri Head of Production: Stefania Orrù Supervising Producer, Development: Gabriella Lewis Director of Production: Michelle Fox Post-Production Supervisor: Lucy Morales Carlisle Audience Engagement: Frances Dumlao Download the Eater app here: https://apple.co/401kzls ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more episodes of 'The Experts', click here: https://trib.al/z4V8rCW Eater is the go-to resource for food and restaurant obsessives with hundreds of episodes and new series, featuring exclusive access to dining around the world, rich culture, immersive experiences, and authoritative experts.
