<strong>”The crunchier your chicken, the better your engagement.”</strong>
<p style=”text-align: right;”>—Netty Cee
BETWEEN dropping rhymes, cracking jokes, and creating viral food content, Netty Cee has become Saipan’s most dynamic culinary personality. The rapper-foodie-comedian recently sat down to share her unfiltered thoughts on perfecting fried chicken—and every tip comes straight from her own kitchen experience.
“The crunch,” Netty says without hesitation when asked what makes fried chicken content stand out. “The crunchier your chicken, the better your engagement.”
This simple philosophy has guided her approach to creating food videos that consistently go viral. But behind the camera, her relationship with fried chicken runs deeper than social media metrics.
For Netty, the best fried chicken starts with restraint.
“Sometimes you don’t need all that extra seasoning,” she explains. “A simple salt, aji, and black pepper is all you really need to make some good fried chicken.”
This minimalist approach extends to her breading technique too: “Flour and/or cornstarch to coat. No need [for] eggs.”
When it comes to cooking methods, Netty has tried them all but remains loyal to fundamentals.
Of the air fryer versus deep fryer debate, she says they all work, “but stovetop works best for me.”
Her pro tip for home cooks? “Use the double fry method”—a technique she swears by for achieving that ideal golden crispness.
Netty keeps her food philosophy refreshingly simple.
“Regular fried chicken with red rice is my ultimate comfort food,” she says, though she knows what works online: “Sweet, spicy and savory chicken wings” consistently get the most engagement from followers.
Her culinary aspirations remain practical.
“A dream collab of mine would be to cook for Keith Lee,” she states,. She thinks her no-nonsense approach could appeal to the famous critic’s preference for authentic flavors.
The same straightforward attitude applies to her cooking idols. When asked which celebrity chef she’d like to work with, her answer is characteristically direct: “Tiny from TikTok.”
What sets Netty apart isn’t flashy techniques but proven results. From her double-fry method to her egg-free breading, every choice serves a purpose. As her platform grows, one thing remains constant: Whether she’s rapping, joking, or frying chicken, Netty Cee delivers real talk and even realer food.
