Sad they won't post the recipes like they used to. Now its all about the $$$

[@BrittanyAnnMaria]

Love how encouraging Chris is. I can do this! (I hope!)

[@yayo4nasal]

Thats a spam dont do it but lmk how it turns out

[@classicbandgeek]

Chris is a wealth of knowledge and he consistently puts out great recipes with all the tips & tricks explained. I appreciate other hosts that will delve into things like childhood memories etc. but really the technique-heavy content that Chris provides is what I love the most being featured on BA! Thanks for another great tutorial - will definitely be giving this one a try.

[@riorio982]

I can't even begin to tell you how glad I am you posted this, my family thinks I'm crazy for wanting to "pull it apart and cover it in salt!!!!". Now I know what to send them when they give me grief!

[@mariom6412]

They will call you crazy until they try a piece

[@neilrischl9569]

Anyone that knows how to cook well understands.

[@TheEagleEyeValor]

The way I’ve found to explain it is, “Sure it looks like a lot of salt, but think about how much meat is on that bird. All that salt needs to penetrate the meat and season all of it” They kinda just went, “Huh…makes sense” and I didn’t hear a single complaint when they tried the turkey.

[@jonjonjustinable]

Peep the secret handshake at 5:45 😂😂😂

[@timk1480]

I’m definitely using this recipe. Update: I made this and it was amazing. This is now our default holiday turkey recipe!

[@cosmictwisty]

OMG guys I did this yesterday and it wowed the whole family 🤯 it was the best turkey ever! The glistening maple glaze was magical and sticky, the meat succulent, super easy to carve after the initial breaking down, and had more surface area for the amazing glaze to cover. I finally conquered my fear of completely breaking down a bird! Once you break that back and feel the spine and spikey ribs of another being, it changes you man. Thank you SO much Chris. This was the first time my family has eaten a holiday meal together since my mom/mega chef of the family passed away. It meant a great deal to incorporate this recipe into hosting the event and sharing the love with my mom’s famous stuffing recipe. We are having more for breakfast!!

Now try to murder the animals yourself, so you see what they go through just for your pleasure.

A video with Chris is always a good day. Also that turkey looks insanely good 😋

[@CantoraMask]

Oh my God. Chris is an absolutely incredible teacher. I've never watched someone who is so skilled as an artisan and an art teacher

[@matthewhancock7258]

10/10, this recipe was amazing. I'm not a huge turkey fan and devoured this. I left the dry brine on for 48 hours, because of poor timing but it worked. The meat was super flavorful not just the skin.

[@papayalovesMAC]

i love chris

[@Debba521]

Wow. Just WOW! I've never seen a turkey look that good. I love the fact that Chris includes so many helpful tips along the way. He explains and it's very compelling for using this method. I bet it works just as nicely for chicken too! Thanks for a great video with some terrific ideas! 👍

This is gonna be my Turkey for this year, looks absolutely FANTASTIC! Only thing I’m gonna add is a bit of habanero chili powder for a kick of heat, it’ll go so well with the honey.

[@lvl2cat]

Great add! Me too!

[@HmmmYeahRiiiiiight]

lol, I love he mentioned Dexter when carving the turkey

[@sbondesson]

Soo... When are Chris and Brad starting their own channel...? Are they locked in by some weird contract? I miss the old gang. Get Molly, Carla and Saffitz and start something new for jeepers sake. Adam may have been an a-hole but he made hella content.

[@AzulBeats]

i'm so glad Chris and Brad didn't leave Bon Appetit 🙏

[@jaekimchi]

Rumor is Brad is about to do his own thing

[@gregcox1994]

Chris is the boss … he wouldn’t leave

[@AMJones132]

This was such a hit at Thanksgiving! I did this with a 20lb turkey, increased the seasonings and glaze by 50%, and otherwise followed the same directions. It turned out amazing!

[@robertberger2363]

AWESOME! Definitely make this Turkey for Thanks Giving. Thank You 👍🏻

[@eafortson]

I can’t believe there isn’t a single comment about the recipe being behind a pay wall now. What’s up with that? Tbh the price isn’t unreasonable but when things that were previously free and then changed to paid, it’s nice to have some sort of acknowledgement and explanation of the pay structure going forward at least.

[@2010katak]

Ok, I made this turkey for Thanksgiving. I was worried while it cooked because it didn’t make the house smell like Thanksgiving traditionally does, but OMG it was the most delicious turkey of my 48 Thanksgivings. The flavor was a beautiful marriage that was hard to describe. Our family’s new tradition. A big hit.

[@suzanner2454]

Bravo!! Bellissimo!!! Grazie!

[@colleenxo9918]

That looks INCREDIBLE! My mum bless her heart I swear is allergic to seasoning. So this year my sister and I have offered to cook Christmas dinner. I may have to try this recipe this weekend for Sunday lunch and see if it can replace my Mums Anaemic Turkey crown

[@chorean]

I love that everyone is getting on the broken down turkey train instead of the whole bird route

[@ChinoBuchonMX]

Very nice video Chris, you are my favorite BA host, after Brad obviously. Cheers

[@sinansn6499]

Great look delicious chicken

[@bognarszandra9065]

5:47 Inés and Kendra in the background! So funny. I love your kitchen vibe XO

[@joanbrown4970]

We started breaking down the turkey a few years ago and we will never go back to roasting a whole bird again. Best decision we ever made. Besides cooking faster than a whole bird, you get that second rack back to be able to cook other things at the same time as the bird.

[@styledbyjamal]

The background robot dance action really set this off

[@deannb7398]

I can’t stop watching it😂

[@meganbermea1218]

I’m at the part of making gravy now and I can’t unsee the predator comment. The turkey looks like roasted alien. Lol 😂

[@robertlopez6430]

This is where Chris earns his gold stars with me. Diamond Kosher is always unavailable in Az. I typically can only find Morton. Mentioning that you should use half makes so much sense after making so many meals where the wife is complaining about saltiness. Thank you Morocco!!!!

[@cameronbatko]

Morton’s also has an anti caking agent mixed in when diamond crystal doesn’t. After using Morton’s for a while and switching to Diamond. I will stick with diamond. It dissolves better too.

[@chriscrew4478]

I've been cooking turkeys for 10 years.... maybe I'm just in the right place for it now but SO many level ups in this video! Rue trick especially hurt my head why have I been struggling so long with gravy? The lowering the temp to give bigger window? Seems like common sense why have we not been doing this?.... did something great this video Chris! Said as long time watcher

[@ChefVicCuisine]

Wow! New sub here! I recently made a Whole Roasted Turkey on my page too and *your dish looks amazing!* Hope to stay connected! 😁

[@kathey-joduxbury2002]

WOW!!!

[@chriscrew4478]

Chris saying... you know what, it's fine..... the most therapeutic thing

[@DoubIeO]

Reason for keeping the turkey whole: STUFFING!

[@yarnexpress]

I love stuffing but I'm going to go the dressing route. I have a southern dressing that uses cornbread & biscuits & turkey stock. Best solution I could come up with.

[@emilierapportmunro7595]

Won’t the turkey go cold if you let it rest for 30-60 mins after cooking, though?

[@superfunkt54]

looks amazing. are there any details on the gravy recipe amounts for the ingredients added? thanks!

[@mikev6999]

Can someone put the Glaze recipe on here please

The color you got on that skin is incredible. What temp did you pull the breast/dark meat out at?

100000% MUST try recipe!!! I made this yesterday for Christmas, 2023, and it was the absolute BEST turkey I’ve ever made and tasted in my entire life. Everyone loved it and they all also said it was the best turkey they’ve ever eaten. I followed the recipe exactly and breaking down the turkey wasn’t as hard as I anticipated (I watched the video many times in advance lol!). I cannot recommend this recipe enough it’s absolutely incredible!! UPDATE: Just made a turkey sandwich with the leftovers and it’s the best leftover turkey sandwich I’ve ever had too😂 *chefs kiss*

[@jennifernavas311]

Chris is freaking amazing. Like WOAH!

[@taylorhill6913]

IDK about anyone else, but seeing some of the other chefs trying the food would really add to the videos IMO. It's just so pleasurable to see others enjoying the food, and I feel as if it adds more hype as well as reassurance and authentication that the food is banging.

sheesh i want a slice 😭🦃

Turkey looks great but nowhere NEAR enough gravy, gravy is the undisputed MVP of Thanksgiving dinner.

[@yarnexpress]

I was thinking the same thing. I'll be making this soon. My plan is to make a delicious turkey stock & at least double the amount of gravy--only need to adjust the amount of roux & wine.

[@panama6520]

I wish the guy would have broke down the measurements more in depth.

[@sergeantdan1763]

Love Chris, but I’m picturing the conversation where someone asks for some dark meat and they get slung a whole turkey thigh or leg. No pretty food for you!

[@Ceruze]

Unpopular opinion but that turkey breast looks a little dry 🫣. Love the glaze on the skin though

[@naomigold2675]

Isn’t this the same recipe Brad and Andy made in the thanksgiving series 😢

[@BrainAmoeba]

[@lucyxu2618]

Is this recipe modeled after Chinese Roast Duck?

[@pabbaditya]

Can I use this brine for a fried turkey?

[@some_dude_on_the_internet]

Recipe is the truth, spatchcocked the bird this Thanksgiving with this dry brine and glaze, family was floored. Def keeping in the back pocket for years to come.

[@mollytheda9273]

Looks delicious! Am considering using this technique.

[@AskMiko]

Just in time for my evening YT viewing!

[@MarufSajjad]

What is the specialty of Diamond Crystal salt? And what happens if brown sugar is substituted with white sugar?

[@meowdeez]

Brown sugar has molasses and carries more moisture than white sugar (which has none), you're really missing richness of it by substituting it out

[@orellaminx3530]

The grain size is different between brands. For a more extreme example, if you used regular table salt in the amount given, instead of Kosher salt, you'd be using possibly double the amount of salt. Diamond Crystal and Morton's are the two most common Koshering salt brands people will find, but the same measurement of equal volumes of each won't weigh the same because one has smaller grains. One isn't better than the other.

[@sethmartinez994]

Are people actually working in the background, I’ve watched for years and never thought about it till rn

[@yarnexpress]

I've broken down & roasted a turkey before. Need to pay attention to the temps of the dark meat. Easy to overcook the dark meat before the breast is cooked.
