Im an old guy and never really was much of a cook. But your channel has opened my eyes to the chemestry of cooking, the use of different pots and pans and techniques that I never even thought of. I absolutely love that you not just run through the ingredients and recipe but also tells what and why you are doing something in that specific order etc. I've started to cook more since i found your channel and feel that I am getting better and more confident. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. :-)

He is really great at explaining processes without hubris, without airs, breaking down a recipe into achievable results for those of us who aren't French chefs. I have a wholly new passion for French recipes, now, so glad I stumbled onto this channel, too. 😋

[@philso7872]

@@FrenchCookingAcademy congratulations on the new home and especially the kitchen. Can this be cooked using a cast iron Dutch oven that does not have the enamel coating?

[@tombudzinski950]

These pots are so inexpensive when you consider you will use them constantly and they will outlive you. I would recommend a round one (better shape when using on a cooktop) and a white interior (easier to see what’s happening inside). Oval shape is better for roasting chicken. But any shape or color, you won’t be sorry.

[@emanonfox1709]

@@tombudzinski950 Definitely worth the investment! I do have a newer set of all white as well, which are wonderful, but nothing beats the old inherited oval flame.

I just made this tonight and oh my goodness... not to toot my own horn, but it was exquisite (because of the recipe, of course). I'm so glad I rediscovered your channel! Since the pandemic started, I've been cooking for my family more and I've been pulling recipes from here the most because a lot of is surprisingly easy to make. And, literally every time I've made something from your channel, my family and I just go wide-eyed and sigh at how delicious everything is. Thank you so much! You are a godsend!

[@bobf5360]

I'm thinking of making this, but it seems like to me since you don't really give the skin a chance to be crispy, it might just be better to remove it before the last step (broiling), since it would come out somewhat soft and rubbery, which many people don't like (as opposed to nice crispy skin when its roasted or grilled). How was your experience?

[@theunicahijaph]

Looking back now, I didn't really pay much attention to texture of the skin. That being said, that detail might be something worth considering if it enhances the dish. Will pay more attention to that next time. The flavor, however, was honestly all I really cared about and I have no complaints with this dish at all 😋 Tweaks are personal too, I suppose :)

[@scottmeidell4662]

Stephane... thank you very much for featuring this recipe. I was immediately intrigued and, within hours, acquired the ingredients and followed your guidance. The process was easy and the results were fantastic. I could only find gruyere, but I could not have imagined the complex but balanced combination of the paprika, funky cheese and wine without aromatics. This is an amazing dish of accidental origin that is a gift to us all. Thanks for making it accessible and easy!

[@JS-gk9et]

I think the need for a high quality chicken can’t be overstated for a braising like this. I’ll have to try more trimming as you did, for a better pan fit and appearance. Looks perfect, and I’m jealous of the stovetop (and the nice window backdrop).

I love the French concept of a "little bit" of butter. I totally agree. I love cream, paprika, and mustard. I will have to try this one soon. I agree with the need for an enameled cast iron braising pan. Mine is a Staub but as long as it is heavy, good quality with well fitting lid and the drip nibs on the inside of the lid you are good to go.
