Hanging roast chicken, with 'nugget' potatoes

Download Digit for free here: pixly.go2cloud.org/SH1V8 Comment below with what you're using Digit to save for! Thanks to Digit for sponsoring the video. Q: Is it unsafe to use non-food-grade metal for the S-hook? A: I'm not sure. The hook doesn't actually touch any part of the chicken you're going to eat, so I'm not that worried about it. Although, I suppose it's possible that you could have some wire that's coated in something that might melt down onto the chicken. Certainly something to think about. Q: Do you really have to dry cure the chicken? A: Nah, and I'm honestly not sure if I prefer it. I tend to think dry-curing or dry-brining or whatever is overrated. But it definitely gives you a crispier skin. If you want really crispy skin, there's lots of other things you could try too. I'm sure I'll get to that in a future video, but basically you want to do what the peking duck chefs do. Q: Do you really have to oil the chicken? A: No. I honestly can't decide which way I like best. The oil gets you a browner skin. No oil gets you crispier skin. At least, in my experiments that's what happened. Q: Are those really the chicken's knees? A: No, I suppose they're technically the chicken's ankles. What looks like the chicken's lower leg is actually its foot, because it walks on its toes. Q: Does the lemon inside the chicken actually do anything? A: It definitely gets you a subtle lemon flavor in the breast meat, but it's not a huge deal and you could skip it. Q: Shouldn't you season the inside of the chicken? A: I don't think that really does anything. There's so much connective tissue and bone between the cavity and the meat, I don't think the salt could really penetrate though that. When I've done it, I've noticed no difference. But maybe you might? The lemon is a different matter, because it creates aromas that actually go through the chicken during cooking. Q: Does the chicken pick up weird smells in the fridge? A: Never that I've noticed. It just doesn't have that much fat (which is what absorbs smells) and its own flavor is very strong. Q: Couldn't you make gravy in the pan that had the potatoes in it? A: Yeah, there's probably some good flavor left in that pan, and the bits of potato left in it would thicken the gravy for you. But, by the time you got the gravy done, the potatoes wouldn't be crispy anymore, and they don't reheat well. Maybe if you could make the gravy super fast it'd work. Q: What do you mean I'll have to experiment with my oven temperature? A: You want a temperature that's going to get you brown-but-not-burned skin by the time the interior meat is cooked, and I just think that depends on so many factors. If you're using convection, some convection settings actually lie to you about the temperature - they reduce the temperature you enter by like 30 degrees F to compensate for the fact that convection is more efficient at transferring heat. It depends on how well-ventilated your oven is - the steam from the potatoes could slow the cooking of the skin, etc. It's all just really complicated. I usually start these at 425 F, but a few times I upped the heat toward the end because the skin wasn't getting as brown as I wanted. Q: Is it safe to keep the raw chicken uncovered in the fridge? A: I can't find any research literature on the subject, but dry-brining raw poultry in the fridge is a very common practice, and I'm not concerned about it. Just make sure that the bird is in a tray that will catch the drippings, and give it enough space in the fridge so that you don't accidentally touch any food to it. Fridge temperatures inhibit microbial activity. Yes some food pathogens can go airborne, but the experts I've talked to have said that's a risk when you do something to aeresolize the bugs - like splashing a lot of water on the chicken to wash it off. The dry-curing process does the things I said in the video - it dries out the skin (which will make it crispier), and it seasons the interior of the meat. You could absolutely skip it if you don't want to do it, but this is a very common practice, and I can't find any documented case of someone getting sick from it.

Important step missing from the video: make sure your oven is large enough to hang your bird in. Mine was too small to hang it, but I threw a cooling rack over the pan and left the chicken on that. The underside wasn't too crispy but it still cooked through and tasted great. I also put a bit of leftover duck fat on top of the potatoes. Super tasty.

[@xyzsame4081]

There are metal stands to shove into your chickens so they will stand on a baking sheet or in a form (not sure if they would stand on a rack). I know that they exist, I once used a high olive jar (a high tube clear glass labels removed of course, empty and washed as "stand" because I did not want to buy the thingies. And the chicken stood in a form that rested on a rack (so better circulation of air and heat than with a baking sheet). If you need to roas two chickens - ventilation may become more of an issue so they will cook evenly.

[@xyzsame4081]

metal or ceramic "chicken roast stand" price between 10 and 25 USD - but a olive jar that is high and has a small diameter (so the form of a tube) will also work (advantage: one could give fluid into the jar - like the beer can method. Which I do not like, who knwows what the beer cans give off - and how do you fit a chicken over that diameter ?) I tested the olive jar once or twice, it worked.

Adam, try scalding your chicken skin with boiling water before roasting. (Season after scalding, of course.) The scalding gives the subcutaneous fat a head start on rendering, so the skin turns out extra crispy.

Ok Adam, this was dinner tonight, after watching your video at least 5 times. This is what I have learned 1. My oven is too small. This is an excuse to get that convection oven I always wanted. 2. I agree with your feedback, the lemon isnt a must. I'm not sure I even noticed it. But I may miss it next time? 3. I need cooling/baking racks. The dry aging made the chicken sooo good. 4. I think this would great with more than potatoes, as I used sweet potatoes. Next time, I will add carrots too. 5. My homemade S hook worked this time, but I want a better one for next time. 6. Make 2 next time, as my organic birds were a tease. Great recipe Adam and thank you for sharing!

So I did something similar!!! I absolutely destroyed the inner joints on the chicken and cooked it on the removable part of a bunt pan (?) over a wire rack. Everything comes out crispy except maybe one part. I’m excited to try this.

[@RadioactiveGloryHole]

That’s okay if you’re middle class North American and so have an oven big enough to hang a chicken. Great video as usual though, even if I can’t do this one I have got some great tips from your videos since I found your channel so thanks for that.

Incredible, I made a comment years ago about how you should make more cooking video and that comment was liked by tons of people and here you are making great cooking videos . Guess I was right. Congratulations, I am happy it worked out for you. Keep up the good work.

This method works well but be very careful of a grease flare up just make sure your drain pan does not overflow-nice

adam great recipe! i’d like to see you experiment with roasting other types of birds too

[@SuzanneBaruch]

This would be a fantastic way to roast a duck!

[@glassowaterful]

i recently tried adam chicken pan method with a duck, and while the breasts were excellent the dark meat needed way more cooking time. but this hanging method seems great

[@SuzanneBaruch]

@@glassowaterful imagine all that wonderful duck fat dripping onto the potatoes ... 😳

[@aragusea]

definitely have some duck recipes coming! love duck. I'm not convinced, though, that roasting a whole duck is ever a good idea. the breast and the legs just need such radically different treatment.

[@glassowaterful]

sadly i have come to a similar conclusion. :( alas at least i got duck fat out of it

[@cactifromhi8165]

[@TheDuke07]

Just love the way you break down every step and give a reason to do everything.

[@inthefade]

Tuck and tie your wings, Adam! You don't want those tips to be burnt. By the way, this is maybe the best cooking channel of all time. Your commitment to the science of cooking is awesome. Edit: Why can't you make a gravy or pan sauce with the drippings in the pan before you broiled the potatoes? The potato starch mixed in to the gravy would be perfect IMO and it was nowhere near burned before you put the potatoes on the top rack. I would never waste all that beautiful fat and reduced broth.

Why I season my pan, not my potatoes 😂😂

[@iamthomasleffler]

Looks fantastic. I spatchcock my whole chickens and cook in cast iron skin side down stove top, then flip and into the oven. Before the flip, throw in your potatoes. Love this method too. I think you could get a light pan sauce out of this by trimming the wing tips for stock and adding a roux.

[@evilchicken17]

I only just discovered you (like three weeks ago)... But the idea of leaving any meat uncovered in the fridge makes me shiver/shake violently in revulsion.

[@MrHestichs]

I feel like that’s a conservative amount of potatoes for 2 chickens.

[@jetlaggedchef6806]

This is my favorite @AdamRagusea recipe yet! One tip for improvement, skin is designed to keep things out, so seasoning the skin doesn't do much for the chicken. Mi your salt and spices with few tbsp of melted butter then work the paste under the skin with a spoon which is it needs to be to season the meat. You can add a bit of S&P on the outside of the skin specifically to flavor the skin.
