Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles Harry: From calorie count to portion sizes, we wanted to find out all the differences between Jollibee in the UK and the US. This is "Food Wars." In the UK, Jollibee serves their famous Chickenjoy in six portion sizes, starting with a one-piece. In the US, you can get your Chickenjoy in five different portions. A one-piece with a side. Harry: Next up, we've got a two-piece. Joe: A two-piece, also with a side. Harry: We move to a three-piece. Joe: A three-piece that comes with a side. I'm so excited to try this. It's my first-ever taste of Jollibee fried chicken. [crunching] Not my first time, Harry. Oh, that's good. That's really good. I don't know how it stayed so crispy. The next sizes up are buckets of chicken. You can get a bucket in six or bucket of 10. Buckets from a UK Jollibee come in three sizes, starting with a six-piece. Then from there, we move up to an eight-piece bucket. And last but by no means least, our biggest portion size is a bucket of 12. Should've got a bigger plate. I'm gonna eat some more. It's really good. [slow romantic saxophone music] I just love chicken, and this is a good example of it. [crunching] [romantic music] These little crispy bits that fall off your chicken, gold dust. Let's each weigh our six-piece buckets to see if the Chickenjoy in one country is bigger than the other. It's time for some Jenga. One. Joe: Ah! Harry: Two. Joe: We have over 100 grams more chicken! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I realize this is so arbitrary. The size of the meats, the amount of coating, but it's nice to win regardless. [laughs] The chicken at Jollibee also comes in the form of tenders. In the UK, these are served in four portion sizes. As a single tender. What? One piece? One piece? Who's getting one chicken tender? As two tenders. There's a portion of three tenders, and, finally, as a portion of four. One chicken tender? I've never heard of that, anywhere. Well, here in America, we have normal portion sizes for our chicken tenders. You can get them in three pieces, six pieces – I think three is not enough, but OK. Three pieces, six pieces, 10 pieces. Whoa! Or 16. ♪ Yeah! ♪ Tenders. How do you like that? Yeah, there's a little bit more going on there. I like it. Little bit of heat to it. The batter seems different. It has more of, like, the buttermilk flavor to it, of, like, the coating. Yeah. Garlic mayo, always. Who needs ranch when you have garlic mayo? Who needs garlic mayo when you have ranch? [bell ringing] Ranch is far superior to garlic mayo, no question. Hell, yeah. Love ranch. A worthy addition. Ranch is way better. Herbs and spices? Aren't they, like, basically the same thing? Then we're on to some Jollibee specialities. Now, one iconic dish is this one. This is the Jolly spaghetti. Now, this is a dish made of spaghetti with some cheese, as well as a sweet-style sauce, which is, I think, made with, like, banana ketchup and some meats as well, and then it's topped with hot-dog slices. In the UK, this only comes as one portion size. That's a cute size you got there, Harry, but here in the US, we have three sizes. Our regular portion, our family portion, and the party portion. Look at this. This is supposed to be eight to 10 people. It's like a lasagna. Look at that. Now, according to a friend of mine from the Philippines, the pro move is to dunk the chicken into the spaghetti sauce. So let's give that a try. The cold cheese isn't doing it any favors, I'll be honest. [crunching] OK. Joe: Yeah. Harry: It's actually not bad. Joe: It's a bit misleading, because their spaghetti is actually, the sauce is sweet. Very good. Yeah, together, that's really good. Then we're on to the burgers. Now, Jollibee is famous for its Yumburgers, which is a beef burger with its signature burger sauce. In the UK, these come as either a single or as a double. Over here in the US, you can get the classic Yumburger, or this, the double Yumburger. Don't want a bun for your burger, you say? Jollibee has you covered. They have something called the burger steaks, patties of burgers smothered in their mushroom gravy. You can get them in two patties, three patties, or the six-patty family pack. Over here, the burger steaks only come as a two-piece. In the US, you can get a side of white rice. We only have one size, and it's this one right here. Same here. Our rice just comes in one portion, and it's wrapped up like this, very cute. Largest thing on a US Jollibee menu is this, the Chickenjoy Bucket Treat D. As in daaaamn! I want to eat this all. 10 pieces of chicken, five sides, and five of the peach mango pies. All of this for a reasonable price of $30. This is the biggest thing on a UK Jollibee menu. It's a 12-piece family feast, and with one of these, you get a 12-piece bucket of Chickenjoy, two sides of fries, two chicken burgers, four chicken tenders, six dips, and a 1.5-liter bottle of a soda of your choosing. I just want to start this section by giving a shout-out to Jollibee. Their nutritional information for the UK wasn't publicly available when we were looking, but we asked them to share it with us, and they actually did. So gold star for you guys. Everyone else, take note. The information is publicly available in the US, so no special request needed over here. We now know that an average three-piece from a UK Jollibee, assuming they give you a drum, a thigh, and a breast, would come to 1,059 calories. I'd be lying if I said this was good for you. The calories themselves aren't too bad. However, there's just over 100% of your daily sodium allowance in here, as well as around 80% of your daily fat. A drum, thigh, and breast from a US Jollibee comes to 920 calories. So our Chickenjoy actually has fewer calories than the UK equivalent, as well as less than half the sodium content. In both countries, there are some differences in the nutritional stats between the different cuts of chicken.
