Oyakodon is worth it just for the little chuckle over its name alone ("oya": parent, "ko": child, and the dish includes both chicken and egg). Like many sources describing this dish, Kenji mentions this basically immediately, as they well should.

I'm a devotee of his book The Food Lab and his prior work there on Serious Eats, but haven't gotten into his videos much. I should.

It's also worth it because it is bananas easy to make, maybe the fastest possible chicken thigh cook, and there is something deeply magical about the combination of eggs, rice, and dashi/soy.
