David Chang Makes Whole Boiled Chicken Two Ways

[@bentucky4324]

Love the way Chef Chang is autopilot-ing this dish like how your average person does for something they often cook. The casualness of his cooking essentially sets the standard that any hungover person can cook a delicious, warm, soothing, and healthy dish at home.

[@bobsmith6544]

Costco chicken is 10x better.

[@eldarblog]

I made this and the chicken soup was the best I have ever had. It was so good I went out to the website and purchased a bunch of his stuff to see if it gets even better. This is becoming a once a week recipe in my house and we can't get enough of it. Thank you so much it changed the way this guy in Chicago makes soup.

[@richmondvand147]

Chang is amazing is a good... envoy for asian fusion, like Rick Bayless is for mexican (though he hits more traditional than fusion)

[@GrubbShowMedia]

Brother! This just changed my life. The number of dishes that can easily be made with a boiled chicken is a gamer changer for my cooking at home. Not to mention the ease of meal prep here that can legit provide almost a whole work week worth of meals.

[@joshualewis5564]

David is the OG of the modern culinary world. Its rare to find a celebrity chef with such a pure approach to cooking. Zero gimmicks, no pretention and a full connection to his target consumers. We are incredibly lucky to have him.

[@h1t0k1r1]

To be fair, he used to be pretentious af. He has def mellowed out lately though

[@richmondvand147]

I mean he loves gimmicks but you can do that when you understand the rules then you know how and when to break them. Like caviar and fried chicken

[@colsanders19]

Former chef here. I love hearing you trying to recreate the perfect imperfection of home cooking for people! I used to do the exact same thing!

[@Mottleydude1]

Thanks David. I love this type of content. I get it what you’re doing. It’s not the recipe, it’s the concepts you’re teaching. You’ve already stirred my imagination. I’m excited to try this with a Mexican twist. I’ll make a clearer stock by not using soy sauce then make a saffron rice with the stock. Then I will plate the saffron rice, slice the white meat and place it on the bed of rice as you have, then top the chicken with a Mole’ sauce, served with some toasted tortillas, a mango salsa as a side, some lime wedges as a condiment and garnish it with some fresh cilantro. Served with a chilled Pilsner. Might be good eats? I had not ever thought about slicing the breast meat out of the boiled chicken and thinking about the possibilities. I’ve always just shredded it. Thanks for teaching your concepts. These are more valuable to me then any recipe as I can take the ideas presented here, experiment and create my own recipes. I just love doing that and isn’t that what makes cooking fun and a challenge?

[@bobsmith6544]

He cries about Costco chicken's "nitrates"; but put soy sauce in his. What a LOSER!

[@Lunchpgap]

after cooking chicken at home a lot these past 2 years, boiled whole chicken is probably my favorite method. it may take longer, but it's more low maintenance. goes further. keeps white meat moist. i could eat korean chicken soup every day and not get sick of it.

[@bobbyray8457]

I want to see way more videos from David like this. He’s one of the most creative culinary minds of my (X) generation and I need more output from him

[@andrewcheuka1845]

He actually isn't though

[@GT-hk8dy]

So boiled chicken is the most creative culinary dish? Don't get too excited when he starts boiling potatoes!

[@alisongrable7209]

So excited to have stumbled on your show I love the way you cook. I’m doing exactly what you’re doing tonight. I had a roast chicken in my refrigerator and so far I’ve had all your ingredients. I’m so excited.

[@brettanchondo8976]

I am going to cook a chicken just as he did in a few minutes. I love the way this guy teaches his ways. I'm betting it will come out great.

[@ptysme]

What a boss video, he’s showing his skill by mostly just winging it and still pulls off some great dishes. Nice tone also, like he’s running late for an appointment. 👨‍🎨

[@suziequzie]

I just bought 2 whole chickens on sale today. This is a very timely recommendation.

[@pixelcultmedia4252]

I love that David Chang loves microwaves as much as I do. What a horribly misunderstood cooking machine.

[@paulmakesvideos]

Thank you for this new (to me) approach to boiled chicken. I grew up in a Mexican-American home where my mom always had too much going on. While the some of the ingredients and seasonings you use in this example of home cooking are different from what I grew up with, boiling a chicken and stretching into many meals is something that is very familiar to me from my mom's kitchen. I made your boiled chicken last night. It really hits home.

[@sean78745]

Its shocking to me that a seasoned chef like David Chang wings it just like I do with as much stress as I do in the kitchen, its refreshing

[@uttermil]

Agreed. He's so easy with throwing stuff together and going in the path of least resistance. Is it as good without ginger? Prolly no, but was it worth saving time. YES! Life is short.

[@hipski]

I think cooking in a professional kitchen and at home are like tennis vs ping pong, it's two totally different beasts. Dave is the man for really hammering that home and letting people know they don't have to be Michelin starred to feed their family tasty food. Just some thoughts, Cheers!

I just discovered this channel, being a fan of David and Momofuku from a cooking aspect. (I'm a new chef in Denver) But seeing how nonchalant he is, like I am when I home cook. I love this content. Also, shout out to whoever is filming and editing being sassy with the cuts and such.

[@RedMapleCanada]

Thank you for the tips and recipes, what an inspiring video!

[@jrmint2]

Boiled chicken is a classical Canto Chinese dish. Translated it is called “white cut chicken” served w ginger scallion sauce. The secret is in the quality of the chicken and the cooking temperature. It is commonly eaten regularly at home and restaurants, that is how popular it is with Cantonese Chinese. An off shoot of that by Cantonese Chinese Singaporeans is the famous in the Western world, the "Hainanese Chicken" which is the same chicken but served w chicken fat rice and 2 different chinese sauces, a sweetened soy sauce, and a fresh chili garlic sauce. David Chang borrows a lot from Chinese classical recipes and cooking methods. Most, not all, of his food is essentially Chinese fusion.

[@Timanator]

[@jrmint2]

[@Keukeu45]

I do make soup with the leftovers of my roasted chicken. But I will definitely try this way.

[@Grammasrecipes]

The best part is watching David RAPIDLY LAUNCH! steaming hot food into his mouth! He really fires it in! Haha.

[@groovesick]

One of my favorite dishes as well. I try to never let the chicken come to a full boil though. Instead I let it (barely) simmer for an hour or so. His chicken looked a bit tuff. I like mine super juicy.

[@andrewcheuka1845]

Just a heads up, "tuff"ness deals with tenderness while "juicy"ness relates to retention of moisture. They are two different things

[@andrewcheuka1845]

Ie you can have tough meat that is juicy and you can also have meat that is tender while being dry

[@peterjimenez1645]

[@DavisOnABike]

Was that first boil enough to pull everything out of all the bones and cartilage? Can you make another stock/broth out of the carcass or is it done?

[@jacob419ify]

Doubt that first boil is enough to pull all the flavor out, definitely can do a stock with the carcass, granted maybe a small/medium size, could also look at toasting the bones as well to help give a bit more depth of flavor to it before you start to boil the carcass.

[@theblobfish9614]

You can. Ive done it before with hainan style chicken rice. The carcasse yielded another nice broth for chicken rice the next day.

[@peachmelba1000]

As chaotic as this may seem, this is a really good way to cook at home. Wing it, go for it. Just remember to go in small additions with any seasonings.

[@MILFCORE]

Is this really considered chaotic? This is how most Asian household cook

[@peachmelba1000]

@@MILFCORE I wouldn't know. I'm not Asian, but I tend to cook like this. What I do know for sure is that it's not what goes down in a restaurant kitchen.

[@hdconley]

1hour poached chicken. Room temp bird (important). Place in seasoned (your choice of flovours) liquid and bring to boil then turn off heat immediately then let sit in pot and hot liquid for 30mins. Bring to boil again and turn off and let sit for another 30mins in hot liquid. Remove bird and enjoy with whatever accompaniments you wish. It will be the most succulent chicken you have ever eaten guaranteed and the skin goes soft and gelatinous instead of rubbery and yuck. Enjoy

I’m loving this microwave rice method (sorry Uncle Roger!). I did it perfectly twice but the 3rd time I may have used too much water (or tried to cook too much rice at once time?j cuz there was a ton of water left after 10 mins and it wasn’t yet cooked thru. A couple more minutes got it right.

What is this savory salt of which you speak? This is the kind of cooking people who love food do. You use what you've got, bringing everything to its highest and best incarnation. I used to watch my grandmother cook like this. I cook like this with my sister. My kids watched us all cook like this.

[@daltongaither2345]

I really like the on the fly style of this. Rarely ever does cooking go perfectly with the million different microwaves/ovens/temp control (the list goes on) not to mention ingredients on hand. Also like how you are making things relative to what Americans might like. I live among a bunch of food squares so being able to relate food is cool.

i dont get it. what did i just watch?? looks like he s completely lost in that kitchen and improvising a dish that every chinese household do a better version of. This chicken was severely overcook, Replacing ginger for garlic in ginger scallion sauce? microwave steam rice? also looked overcook. if you gonna make a soup with the broth how about skimming it or even preblanching your chicken for a cleaner broth. Randomly throwing stuff in there after? noodles could have been pre blanch or washed, veggies sauteed to bring out more flavors, caramelization and sweetness. chicken also needs to go through ice bath after being poached. this is seriously amateurish.

Surprised you didn't have a bottle of Ginger spice?
