    Wow chef, thank you for a lovely original Marsala recipe. I will definitely
    do it with the genuine Marsala wine. I didn’t know! So many Marsala recipes
    seem to vary so much it’s getting away from original. This is basic yet
    wonderful and truly gourmet. God I can smell it through my “smellaphone”!

    I beg to disagree about your differentiation between domestic vs. imported
    Marsala. When it comes to this kind of wine, for me is more a question of
    quality than terroir per se. Also, and I think your overlooking this aspect
    reveals a lot, you make no mention whatsoever in your video of whether you
    are using secco, semisecco or sweet, both on your recipe and on your
    comparison at the end. Color in Marsala wine has nothing to do with
    quality; color is determined by the particular type of Marsala in question.
    It seems to me that you don’t really know much about Marsala wine, I’m
    sorry to say, and therefore your assessment of quality here, in all
    honesty, cannot be taken seriously. Please note that I do not wish to
    offend at all with this comment.Thank you for your video.

  4. Bill McGoldrick

    Why no garlic?

    You don’t use breaded chicken on chicken marsala and you put your chicken
    on your pan before the oil got hot amateur

    fuck that music!!

  8. Robert Blanda

    very nice,this is the original recipe ,in the restaurants they add a little
    bit of chicken broth to stretch the wine because is expensive or sometimes
    they use sherry wine instead because is cheaper ,however if you like the
    sauce to be a little bit lighter doesn’t hurt to add a little bit of
    chicken broth and butter.
    LOOKS AWESOME and the music is great as well !! cheers!

  11. Nathan Sepnefski

  12. GAD FLOW

  14. VALDIGNE

    I am from Sicily I never heard of chicken Marsala before it must be
    American food 😉

    I’m not a professional chef but I worked in a kitchen and can cook pretty
    well-enough to impress many. My chicken Marsala happens to be one of my
    signature dishes and I’ve never cooked Chicken Marsala without any chicken
    stock, any butter, or any marinara sauce for flavor, texture, and color. I
    saw the darkened color from the imported marsala but I can’t imagine that
    chicken Marsala having much flavor other than from the wine and you had
    practically no sauce left if it was to be served over pasta. Just saying.

    I make this every week and chinese food and im a four culture hispanic lolz
    :D

    Well, I am not in anyway close to being a chef as the young man below me in
    these comments, but I agree and disagree only in that I cook with marsala
    and the richer and closer to the orginal would to me make a better product.
    However, my question was the same in sort as “kevin” below and that is why
    no onion, butter etc.. to bring the sauce to a silky, creamy state seems
    odd to me, but it may be great just wanted to get your comments that is
    all. Maybe I am just out of my league lol BUT it never hurts to ask and be
    honest in you quest for the truth. ty for your time. I was impressed by the
    showing of the difference in the color of the wine WOW is all I can say. ty
    for that.

    there was no sauce by the end. should have some liquid. 

  19. Tabz Bossie

    i thought to brown one needs a very hot pan…….the oil was still cold
    otherwise thanks for the recipe
