🤤 Chicken Wings: The Chinese Restaurant Way! (椒鹽雞翼)

To address the mixed feedback we've been getting about this experimental format - we definitely hear you and appreciate all of the comments and criticism! To share my creative thought process, when I thought of putting myself on camera and exposing my (lack of) cooking skills and opening up myself to the free-for-all opinions of the internet, it was scary and still is. However, I was (and still am) excited for the format because... - I thought it would be more educational to highlight what my dad and I are doing differently. My dad doesn't always think to call out certain nuances of his techniques, and showing what I do as a beginner is a way to contrast that. - I thought it'd be a more fun, relatable way to capture our father-son relationship, which has always been a driving force behind the content we've been sharing. - I generally do want to learn how to make these dishes for my kids, and I want to make cooking more of a habit in my own life, whether or not it's filmed and shared on YouTube. My dad never taught me how to cook because he wanted me to focus on school, and he didn't want me to suffer like he did in sweaty kitchens toiling away for 12 hours a day. I acknowledge that the format isn't perfect, that it takes longer to get through a recipe video (although we do have a blog for this very reason!), and that it's not for everyone. I always want to make content that our community enjoys and finds valuable, and balance that with continuing to evolve as a storyteller, artist, and human. I obviously have a lot of work to do on this format but hopefully it will eventually evolve into a style that more people find engaging and valuable.

I don't know if your dad is retired at this point - but let me tell you, as someone with retired parent, that your "Made With Lau" project is a TERRIFIC concept to keep your dad going. I'm certain this gives him a feeling of purpose and importance in his life. You're a good son, and you've got good parents for helping you get to this point.

I don't know why people were criticizing you so harshly, this video was enjoyable to watch. Some people are just that miserable in life 🙄. I'm happy that you're documenting everything with your dad and family, I learned a lot! Thank you!

This is so refreshing to watch a father and son working together and the dad having to hold back just a little so that his son can learn. And next generation sitting with the family. It brings big smiles to my face. You guys obviously have a very loving relationship

I have been trying to perfect wings for 46 of my 46 years on this planet. This is the most instructional chicken wings video I have ever seen!

Randy, you are doing an awesome job highlighting your father's skill while learning yourself. At the end of the day, we like tuning in not just to learn the recipes but see you and your family's interactions. Don't let the negative ppl affect the great amount of work you do for your channel. ❤️🙏

I love this format. I get why people like the step-by-step format better, but this approach is so different than any of the other cooking shows on YouTube. Watching you stretch yourself with your dad guiding you—dude that’s what family is all about. Plus you are getting (a little) better with that awesome knife (which I still need to get).

Father, son, and food! Beautiful! Treasure of a family. Your father is a gem.

This isn’t just a cooking show but a family showing us their love for one another, the patience of a father, a son who values his parents. Don’t be afraid Randy to show diff versions. It’s your show and we will always support your good intentions ❤️ Keep up the good work 🎉

I love this type of format! It's really helpful to see the struggles "normal" beginner cooks expereince while going through the process of learning a new recipe. Thank you Randy and Daddy Lau for your recipes. I'm Taiwanese but these recipes still bring nostalgia and comfort for me. I recently made the walnut shrimp and stir fried green beans for my friends during a dinner party and they absolutely loved them! Definitely not comparable to Daddy Lau's, but that's why this format of seeing you also learn along the way is encouraging.

Daddy Lau shouting the name of the recipe in Cantonese at the beginning of the video was something I really enjoyed, please bring it back in future videos!

Your dad is a very calm and nice guy . Love watching him cook .

There is nothing more special than families cooking together. I love watching how you and your dad bond over cooking. I also like that it takes a little longer when you cook with him because it gives us time to get things together. The other night we made his Beef & Broccoli and it came out awesome! We also love your humor when your cooking and how you put your videos together. Great editing! Watching the interaction when you all sit down to eat and answering questions from viewers is extremely helpful. You do such an amazing job. You have such a beautiful family. Thank you!

Daddy Lau face has the same look my mom has when my brother cook - anxiety and the need to take over cuz he is moving so slow. I also love the extra 4 point of love from the mom.

My husband follow your dad exact recipe after watching this yesterday and let me tell you, dinner of salt and pepper wings was amazing!!!!!!!!

This is pure gold. I love this way of showing how to cook, and your dad is freaking awesome. Watching him and you is a great way to get the techniques.

I"m happy to see you decided to cook along with your father. He was really patient with you. Watching your own cooking ability progress is an added bonus to your already entertaining videos.

I'm really enjoying the new contrast format because not only are we learning but I'm watching you and your father bonding as he is passing down his skills to you so you can pass it on to cam when he grows up. Personally I'm also waiting to hear an aiyah for entertainment purposes lol. Love all your videos!

A wonderful interaction between father and son. ❤

These father-and-son cooking videos are awesome. Love to see you guys working together like this!
