- We are gonna have so much fun today, y'all.
0:04
- Yep. - Yep.
0:06
I am here with Brie.
0:08
And what is your last name so I won't mess it up?
0:10
- Axius.
0:12
- Axius? - Yeah.
0:13
Okay. (laughs)
0:15
It's kind of a little hard.
0:17
Well, Brie, I had the opportunity
0:19
to meet your pretty sweet mother,
0:22
had a book signing here in Savannah at The Lady and Sons,
0:25
and Marie started telling me that she had a daughter
0:28
that just loves to cook.
0:30
She said she doesn't use recipes, she just likes
0:33
to get in the kitchen and cook
0:34
and just formulate your own recipe,
0:39
don't you? - Yeah.
0:40
- Which I think this is wonderful.
0:42
Y'all gonna see that this child is a natural.
0:45
I know a lot of grownups that can't figure out
0:49
what flavors go together and what a dish needs,
0:52
and you've already got that, and how old are you?
0:55
- Nine.
0:55
- Nine? I thought you were 11.
0:59
Oh, you're still-
1:00
- [Cameraperson] She has a great YouTube channel.
1:02
- A single digit.
1:05
So after your mama told me about you,
1:09
I started looking at your videos
1:11
because you have, are you on YouTube?
1:13
- Yeah, I'm on YouTube. - Okay.
1:15
And what's the name of your show?
1:17
- Lil Brie's Kitchen. - Lil Brie's Kitchen.
1:20
And I think y'all are just gonna love watching this child,
1:26
she's amazing.
1:28
And on your show I've noticed,
1:31
you've just got it perfect, Brie,
1:34
you've got music in your video, you're so professional,
1:38
and it's just you and your mama, right?
1:40
- Yeah.
1:41
- In the kitchen making these shows.
1:44
And sometimes I think it's easier
1:47
to work with the fewer people,
1:50
because when I used to have my show
1:51
on a National Food Channel,
1:54
there would be like 35 or 40 people here to shoot a show.
1:59
- That's a lot.
2:00
- And now we're down to three of us,
2:03
the three bandidos. (All laugh)
2:07
So I just want to commend you.
2:09
You must go,
2:11
it's Lil Brie's?
2:13
- Kitchen - Kitchen,
2:15
on YouTube,
2:16
and make sure, we appreciate,
2:19
those of us that are doing shows,
2:21
we so appreciate you hitting subscribe,
2:24
the subscribe button.
2:27
It doesn't cost you anything, it's just to let us know
2:30
how many viewers we've got out there.
2:32
So we appreciate people doing that, don't we, Brie?
2:35
- Yeah.
2:36
- Okay, well I was watching one of her shows, y'all,
2:39
and she was planning on just coming in here
2:42
and cooking some of my recipes with me,
2:45
but I saw a dish that she was doing,
2:47
I said, oh no, she's got to cook that for us.
2:51
And what is the name of this dish?
2:52
- It's called Cheetos chicken.
2:54
Cheetos fried chicken? - Yeah.
2:57
- Okay.
2:58
So she normally likes to cook legs,
3:02
'cause all young people love a leg, don't they?
3:06
And a lot of us old people love a leg too,
3:09
it's one of my favorite pieces, my go-to piece.
3:12
All right, so get us started Brie.
3:15
And she asked for some beef bullion cubes,
3:18
or was it chicken you asked for?
3:21
- I think it was bullion.
3:23
- You think it was what?
3:24
- Bullion, yeah, I think that's it.
3:26
- [Cameraperson] Beef bullion?
3:27
- Yeah. - Beef bullion?
3:28
Okay.
3:29
And I crunched those up for her.
3:33
And I've never thought about using
3:36
bullion cubes for seasoning,
3:38
but I think it's a fabulous idea.
3:41
So what do you wanna do first?
3:45
- Crush the Cheetos up. - Okay.
3:47
Well, (chuckles) we got the little blender for you,
3:51
but we can do it two or three times if necessary.
3:59
Not too full baby, or it won't...
4:02
Yeah, it's a little, it's a little...
4:05
(chuckles) Okay. - Too much.
4:07
- I believe it is too much.
4:08
But you know what, we can very easily.
4:11
Whoa. - Whoa.
4:12
- He got loose.
4:14
(chuckles)
4:16
There we go.
4:17
And then you can just put 'em in your bowl right there,
4:20
okay?
4:22
And that just,
4:26
you have to bring it to the side
4:28
and then slide it in, you got it.
4:30
- Yep.
4:42
- So you really grind them up good, right?
4:44
- Yep.
4:46
- Wow.
4:51
Ooh, I like that.
4:53
- It's puffy - It is puffy.
4:56
Now, can you taste the, oops, can you taste the cheese?
5:00
- Yeah, I can taste a lot of cheese.
5:01
- On the chicken, you can?
5:04
- [Cameraperson] Mm, I Can smell it.
5:05
- I know it.
5:05
Now, this is kind of aggravating.
5:07
Oh no, it slipped right in there. Okay.
5:11
- Second round. - What baby?
5:13
- Second round.
5:15
- I'm sorry, can you talk louder to me?
5:17
Because I'm getting old, on top of being blind,
5:20
I'm getting hard of hearing. (laughs)
5:23
- The second round.
5:25
- The second round, yes. Okay, there you go.
5:29
I have it, oh, thank you.
5:30
See? I told you I can't see.
5:33
- So now I,
5:36
oh, (chuckles) now you add the milk.
5:40
- Okay, I did your milk and eggs for you.
5:42
- And we have two eggs and some regular milk.
5:46
And you mix.
5:50
- For seasonings, now, tell everybody
5:52
what you've got on your plate.
5:54
- I got some Paula Dean's house seasoning.
6:00
- Way to go girl, you gotta train 'em when they young.
6:03
(laughs)
6:05
- And ground pepper.
6:07
- Oh, good.
6:08
And you asked me to grind up some beef bouillons for you,
6:12
now, what are you gonna do with that?
6:14
- I'm gonna like sprinkle all the seasoning,
6:16
including the beef bouillon
6:19
on the thing.
6:21
- Oh, you use sure enough red pepper.
6:25
My tongue can be a sissy sometimes.
6:29
- I don't like pepper.
6:30
- I'm not crazy about it either.
6:32
Just a little bit on some things.
6:34
- [Brie] Yeah, I like a little touch.
6:36
- Y'all see she is turning her chicken over
6:39
to get it seasoned on all sides.
6:42
Now, did you put some of this in your seasoning?
6:46
Did you mix that up with your seasoning,
6:48
or did you put this I a little put on separate?
6:48
- I put a little bit. - Oh, okay.
6:51
So you just put a little bit.
6:52
And I think that's a grand idea.
6:55
I've never thought about that.
6:57
- [Brie] So I think now we-
7:00
- Now you're gonna flour it? - Yeah.
7:04
- [Paula] Egg it?
7:06
- [Brie] Mm-hmm.
7:08
- And your last step will be
7:09
to roll it in your Cheetos, right?
7:11
- Yep.
7:13
- Okay, I've got you all set up, I think.
7:16
And when you get it coated, Brie,
7:18
we can just put it right back on our cookie sheet.
7:22
And I'm gonna start heating up your oil.
7:25
So where did your love of cooking come from?
7:29
- My mom.
7:31
- Oh, is mama a good cook? - Yeah.
7:34
- What is the best thing that mama cooks?
7:39
- I don't really know, she cooks a lot of stuff that's good.
7:41
- She does. - I like her lobster.
7:44
- Her lobster? - Yeah.
7:46
- (laughs) Wow.
7:49
And how does mama cook it?
7:54
- I think-
7:55
- Does she broil it in the oven, or does she bake it, or,
7:58
does she fry it? - She bakes it.
8:00
- Yeah, okay.
8:01
You know, there is nothing better than fried lobster.
8:04
Have you ever had it fried?
8:06
- I think so.
8:07
- Well, if you haven't, get mama to to fry you some lobster,
8:14
'cause it's so good.
8:17
- [Brie] Mommy, can I fry some lobster?
8:18
(Paula laughs)
8:22
- And it's easy.
8:24
Mama Maria,
8:25
it is,
8:29
you know, use the same coating that you would
8:31
for whatever you're frying.
8:36
We just checked our grease, and it was up to 340,
8:39
so it should be at 350 now.
8:42
Now, Brie is just nine years old,
8:47
and even though she's very accomplished
8:51
when you're using hot grease, I really recommend
8:55
that a mommy or a daddy be with you to do things like this,
8:59
because burns can hurt so very badly.
9:04
- [Crew Person] She's very good.
9:04
- I mean, (chuckles)
9:06
she's not your average 9-year-old y'all,
9:10
she's very special.
9:13
So,
9:16
have you been thinking about going to culinary school?
9:19
(Crew Person chuckles)
9:20
- You looking at mama to see-
9:23
- Your mom was just telling me
9:25
you're involved in swimming.
9:27
You do a whole bunch of other things outside of this,
9:30
the piano, tell us about all the stuff you do.
9:32
- Swimming, piano. - Oh my goodness.
9:35
- Music, voice.
9:38
- [Paula] Can you sing too?
9:40
- Yeah, but I lost my voice,
9:42
and for some reason it's not coming back.
9:45
- [Paula] Oh, now, how long ago did you lose it?
9:49
- Two, three weeks ago.
9:51
- Oh my gosh, well maybe it'll come back.
9:53
You know, there's a lot going around out there.
9:56
Okay, baby.
9:57
- [Crew Person] She has a 3-year-old sister
9:58
that wants to be on the show with her.
10:00
- Oh my goodness, are you teaching her how to cook?
10:03
- Yeah, but I don't trust her around these Cheetos.
10:05
- No, no, no, she's too little for this.
10:08
- Because she'll eat all the Cheetos,
10:10
and when she eats Cheetos it gets messy
10:12
and wet all over her mouth,
10:14
especially with chocolate, Kit-Kats.
10:15
- You know what else?
10:17
It gets all on your fingers,
10:19
and Then you get it on the sofa or the chair,
10:22
and then mommy says, "What's going on?
10:25
Who's been eating Cheetos?" (laughs)
10:27
- [Crew Person] She's just a little bit of a mess
10:29
in the kitchen right now.
10:30
We need her to get a little older.
10:32
- Yeah, maybe like five,
10:34
and then she can make something simple.
10:36
- [Paula] Yes, that's exactly right.
10:39
A lot of people start out, a lot of young people start out
10:42
by doing scrambled eggs.
10:46
- Did I start out doing that? - Huh?
10:48
- I started out doing cake, I think?
10:51
- [Cameraperson] Cake.
10:52
- You like to bake. - Yeah.
10:56
- So outta everything that you do, Brie,
11:00
what's your favorite, out of swimming, piano, voice,
11:05
cooking?
11:06
- I like cooking and dance.
11:08
- Cooking and dance.
11:10
All right, now what kind of dance do you do?
11:12
- I do jazz, ballet and tap.
11:14
- Jazz, ballet and tap.
11:17
- That's why she's so poised. - Yes.
11:19
- [Crew Person] Because of your ballet.
11:20
- Yes, you can tell.
11:22
And when we were took a little break,
11:26
she was wanting to dance.
11:28
You know, these kids, they can't stay still.
11:31
- [Crew Person] Maybe she could give the triplets a lesson.
11:33
- Oh, maybe.
11:35
- Lesson?
11:36
- [Crew Person] Paula has two girls that are how old, five?
11:39
- They're five, they just turned five,
11:41
and they're triplets, there's three of 'em.
11:43
- Triplets? - Yes.
11:46
- That's a handful. - That's a lot.
11:49
(Paula and Crew Person chuckle)
11:50
- Yes, it is.
11:51
Their mama and daddy will attest to that.
11:54
All right, are you gonna trust me to do this?
11:57
- Yeah.
11:59
- I don't want you to get grease on that pretty jacket,
12:02
and I certainly don't want you to burn yourself.
12:07
This is looking good.
12:09
Is this looking right? - Yeah.
12:11
It looks better than the one I made. (chuckles)
12:13
- No, it doesn't. There's no way.
12:16
- Yeah, because the Cheetos kept on falling apart.
12:19
- Yeah.
12:20
So I just like eat it
12:22
before like they totally fell apart.
12:24
- Uh-huh.
12:25
Yeah, sometimes that happens when you're frying stuff.
12:28
I get agitated when my pork chops,
12:31
some of the crust will fall off.
12:33
Because the crust is the best part, isn't it?
12:36
- Yeah, it's like the crunchiest part
12:37
and the most seasoned part.
12:39
- That's right, that's right.
12:41
- And then all the crust falls out just like regular chicken
12:45
and it's unseasoned, and I don't like that.
12:46
- Yeah, yeah.
12:48
I'm with you, I'm with you.
12:49
Nine years old, and she's already got her ways,
12:55
and that's wonderful.
12:57
- Wait, weren't you a cheerleader?
13:00
- I was.
13:01
You wanna see my uniform? - Yeah.
13:04
- I'll show you my uniform.
13:07
A lady that helped me decorate,
13:09
she found my uniform one day in a chest of drawers,
13:13
and of course I didn't miss it.
13:17
(indistinct)
13:18
Yeah. You wanna see it while your chicken's frying?
13:21
Oh yeah, the cheerleading pictures.
13:29
- [Camera Person] That's her right there.
13:33
- That's her? - That's her.
13:34
- [Brie] She looks different. (Camera Person chuckles)
13:36
- This is looking good, mama.
13:37
There's one thing in this world, maybe two things,
13:40
maybe three, that I don't eat,
13:43
and I don't eat medium rare chicken.
13:45
Nobody should ever eat medium rare chicken.
13:48
You want your chicken to come to 165 degrees.
13:54
So I've got our meat thermometer, and I'm gonna do this
13:57
'cause I don't want you to burn yourself, okay?
14:00
You don't wanna hit the bone.
14:04
What does it say?
14:06
- It says 166.
14:08
- 166.
14:09
- I think it's ready. - So that is ready, honey.
14:13
There may be a piece or two over here
14:15
that I put in last that's not ready.
14:21
Would you like me to just take it up for you?
14:23
- [Brie] Yeah.
14:24
- Okay, I would be happy to,
14:25
I just don't want you burning yourself.
14:30
That one's a big one,
14:33
right there.
14:35
And these were the last two in, over here.
14:41
It just looks wonderful.
14:43
I'm so proud of you.
14:45
You are a good cooker.
14:50
Wow.
14:53
All right, now my question to you is, do you use a dipper?
14:58
Any kind of dip for your chicken?
15:01
Especially like, these are the drumettes.
15:06
So a lot of people dip their wings, you know, in...
15:10
- Ketchup.
15:11
- Ketchup? Okay.
15:13
I like mine with ranch dressing,
15:15
you know, dipped in ranch dressing?
15:16
- Yeah. - Or something like that.
15:19
- Or like maybe, what it's called?
15:24
Honey...
15:26
- Honey mustard? - Yeah, honey mustard.
15:27
Okay.
15:28
Do you wanna mix up some of that real quick,
15:29
like to eat with it, or you wanna eat it just like this?
15:33
- I think we can eat it like that.
15:34
- Okay, well it's gonna need to cool a little bit
15:38
or we gonna burn our mouths.
15:41
- Last time I didn't, I didn't wait and it burned my tongue.
15:46
- I know, I know, I hate when I do that,
15:48
but sometimes I'm so hungry and so impatient.
15:52
- Yeah. It stings.
15:53
- Like,
15:55
I'm starting to swallow hard now
15:57
just looking at your chicken.
15:59
I think that was the one that you picked out for yourself.
16:04
There you go, now that'll keep you from burning your hands.
16:08
And I'm gonna, I can't remember which one I picked up,
16:11
but I'll just go with this one.
16:17
(laughs) What you think?
16:20
Get over here with me, girl. - It's so good.
16:22
- Are you gonna come back and see me again?
16:25
- Can we?
16:27
- Because people are gonna love you.
16:31
You know it?
16:32
- Yeah.
16:33
- You are such a fine example
16:36
for other kids that want to be like you.
16:40
You know it? - Yeah.
16:41
- You're what they call a social influencer.
16:46
(laughs) Have you ever heard of that?
16:49
- I just heard of influencer. (chuckles)
16:50
- Mm-hmm.
16:54
(laughs) Shut up.
16:58
Shut up, girl.
17:00
Mm.
17:02
I need to turn that pot down back there.
17:07
I can taste the beef bouillon that you used,
17:11
I can taste that on this piece of chicken
17:14
- Me too.
17:16
- Listen,
17:19
every day,
17:22
there's always something new I can learn.
17:26
So you taught me a new trick today,
17:29
I'm going back to bouillon cubes, y'all. (laughs)
17:35
Mm, mm.
17:40
I'm so proud of you. - Thank you.
17:44
- Would you be like my,
17:50
my friend granddaughter?
17:52
- Yeah. (Both laugh)
17:53
- I would love that, because I do want you to come back,
17:58
I want to be able to watch you as you progress,
18:02
because you're a natural,
18:05
you're a straight natural,
18:07
and I thank you so much for coming today.
18:10
- You're welcome.
18:11
- [Crew Person] How can they watch her on YouTube?
18:15
- It's Lil Brie's Kitchen.
18:17
- Lil Brie's Kitchen on YouTube.
18:20
And make sure you hit subscribe, it doesn't cost anything,
18:24
that just means that you will be counted as a viewer.

That's it. Because we love to know those things.
18:30
(indistinct) Yes.
18:34
So you are definitely gonna wanna watch her,
18:37
because this is her recipe, not mine. (chuckles)
18:40
I got it from Lil Brie's Kitchen.
18:43
