Uncle Roger's Korean chicken review gets an editing side dish

Nick DiGiovanni's fried chicken supplies the subject, but color and crunch are taking up space in the comments.

Uncle Roger Review Nick DiGiovanni Korean Fried Chicken

The editing got attention. Nigel Ng posted just one video on mrnigelng this week, "Uncle Roger Review Nick DiGiovanni Korean Fried Chicken," and viewers have plenty to discuss beyond the recipe.

Several comments focus on the footage's intense orange coloring, while others question whether the chicken's crunch has been amplified. One viewer picks up on a particularly funny reversal: Uncle Roger, usually impatient for cooking videos to get moving, asking for a slower pace. Alongside the production talk, viewers are discussing whether Nick's chicken is closer to dakgangjeong, the bite-sized Korean fried-chicken preparation.

The upload has reached about 2.8 million views and is comfortably the channel's most active video right now. Older food opinions have not left the table: "Uncle Roger Think This $1623 Fried Rice WASTE OF MONEY" and "Chili Crisp is Boring" are the next busiest uploads, though both draw a much smaller daily audience than the chicken review.

Across the channel, daily viewing is running at roughly twice its usual pace, while the subscriber count stayed unchanged over the week. In the nearby food-channel group, Max the Meat Guy had a particularly substantial viewing week; Mark Wiens and Bobby Parrish also drew large weekly audiences.

For Nigel, the fresh addition keeps the familiar Uncle Roger format busy, with a cooking review whose comment section has become part recipe discussion, part editing discussion.

What viewers say

When Uncle Roger, who is constantly telling people to speed up their video that they are taking too long to get the cooking, tells you to slow down the video, it's very telling.

I think the editor also made the crispy sound louder

As a Korean, I can say that the chicken made by Nick truly deserves the title of "Korean chicken"! Maybe because I’ve seen so many famous chefs these days make Korean food in unusual ways rather than the traditional ones, Nick was truly outstanding!
