After watching dozens of videos from so called experts going thru endless loops and knots I finally found the Master at work. Thank you for making it so simple and easy.

[@reason162]

Jacques is the authority on proper technique.

[@humps9000]

I've learned so much from Jacques over the years. Direct, simple, and clear. Thank you for all you've done to bring the knowledge to us.

[@harryape9059]

A great chef and an equally good teacher!

[@ColboltKey1313]

While there are so many chefs & influencers that ppl admire bc of social media, I will always go to Chef Jacques to learn the fundamentals. (And I greatly admire) Thank you Chef!

[@KQEDFood]

Well said! Happy cooking.

[@russellehler6706]

Excellent demonstration ... worked EXACTLY as shown. THANKS!

[@opwave79]

100x more simple and efficient than other trussing methods I’ve seen.

[@BFrydell]

Yep. I only wonder what will happen to the wings. He didn't tie them down so will they spread out at all? I haven't roasted a chicken yet so I'm honestly asking

[@carlathedestructor2454]

@@BFrydell They will stay where they are because he cut the wing tips off, and since he says to cook the chicken for 20 minutes on each side then 20 on its back, the wings will get browned with the legs. I wish I had seen this years ago honestly.

Merci chef Jacques Pépin. Y’a rien comme un enseignement d’un professionnel pour cuisiner facilement! Délicieux poulet!😊

The "issue" with absolute Masters, such as Mr. Pépin; even though his instruction is so clear, it all looks like a magic trick. Beyond Escoffier .. Jacques Pépin is truly my culinary hero.

[@cs512tr]

no wonder he wrote the book La Technique amazing stuff to see and learn from

[@Demo7IIRider]

theory vs experience, Jacques shows there is no substitute. you learn from what you do time and time again

[@pr3nzlb3rg3r]

In this case you learn from the chef showing and explaining it.

[@vernjay2661]

I've watched his cooking shows while I was child, Chef Pepin, you are still the greatest Chef ever! No one else will ever compare!.

[@cloudstreets1396]

Jacques is officially my hero.

[@JohnWMacDonald]

Always my go to for information. Thanks, chef.

[@BFrydell]

This guy is absolutely awesome. One of the only truly great chefs with no accolades to prove it (i.e. Michelin star restaurants). He proves he's great with his skill and his skill alone. Imagine walking up to a homeless guy, asking him how to truss a chicken, and then watching him actually do it 4 different ways right then and there. That's the vibe I get from Jaques. He got his start on TV so you don't expect much. Then he blows your mind with a paring knife and an apple.

[@mikedeieso920]

When he started on TV he already had tons of chef experience. You should look up his background - it’s fascinating.

[@jody024]

​@@mikedeieso920The car crash ended his career in the professional kitchen, he was working in Michelin starred kitchens already at that point too. The crash damaged one of his arms too much. He reinvented himself into the educator and author we still have today.

[@EasyCookingbyMahim]

Nice and helpful video.

[@drewwilliams3055]

That worked perfectly! Thank you to, The Master. Love you, Jacque Pépin!

[@paulamiller7564]

I use the Closed Captioning for a little extra help on hearing. If you read the captions, OMG, how hilariously wrong they got the part about the wishbone. God bless Jacque Pepin for all his help. Gave me some confidence, saved me some money. :)

[@KTChu-be7bk]

I love it! And the 20 min. turning technique, makes so much sense.

[@mike8837]

I’ve never heard of this I’m trying tomorrow

[@judymanning2538]

Chef Pepin a master and a teacher ❤ Just watched thomas Keller do similar💔 IMO

[@CraigArndt]

I used to watch Jacques Pépin as a kid when he was on PBS. The best shows also have a little life advice, Master Chef.

[@Zumbagirl517]

I love his accent!

[@judymanning2538]

Thank you 🍀

[@billbridge7458]

I...LOVE...THIS...MAN.

[@venomf0]

I love him so much

[@robertmarks713]

Legend!

[@ledout7733]

C'est magnifique .

[@RH-sb5co]

The best technique, method. Tried and true.

[@joannaedwards6325]

So good to know this simple trussing method. Thanks very much. Gee I love the way he touched the food. Almost tenderly. 💜💋🙋

[@hardboy1864]

Beautiful work. Thank you, you might have saved my marriage!!

[@commentatron]

Just don't let her catch you trussing your chicken.

[@ami2evil]

@@commentatron Or yanking your bacon...

[@mahsheenman]

The simple way is often times the best way.

[@woochatming9917]

Should I use a spring chicken instead of normal chicken ?

[@cochinero547]

The simple way is best, yes

[@lusardi01]

Gods chef

[@billb5690]

Pepin.....The master of all chefs

[@patrickdawe9885]

A truss worthy technique.

[@adamh7972]

[@littlsuprstr]

Jacques Pepin deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom like his colleague Julia Child.

[@Dggb2345]

Clean is clean.

0:57 "sexually a pain in the neck when you come in the dining room" according to captions 😂

[@HeavymetalHylian]

I guess if you were trying to impress your date... lol

[@annab6726]

I think he was probably trying to say "essentially"??

[@slimydick23]

but that's exactly what he said lol

[@wanderer2522]

Ashley after playing it a few times it sounds like he says 'Texturally'. Haha but yes if not attuned to his accent immediately it sounds like sexually!! Lol

[@willdennis7076]

There's another video where he's showing how to grip a pan when doing an omelette and he says, "grab the handle," but the captions say "grab the anal."
