@artsyvideo Жыл бұрын
@@KamikazekaitoKoki 350 degrees for 1/2 hour or when breast temperature says what he says it should. You could probably even go lower and slower if you really want to see how amazing you can get it. I let it dry out in the fridge beforehand but only for about an hour. If you let it dry out too long you risk making the skin rubbery (can't say for sure how long is "too long" might be differrent for each bird.) Season it any way you want, it will still have the amazing tesxture/juiciness so matter how you season it. My wife is on a low sodium diet so we put very little salt on it beforehand and then i sprinkle table salt on my portions after its cooked. I definitely do an herb dry rub like Kenji does, but I've done different combos and they all taste a little different but the texture and juiciness is always amazing. After the rub I spray some oil all over it (or rub it with butter). Use as much or as little as you want. you only "need" a little bit. More oil will make it crispier and/or more savory. His basting sauce is entirely optional. The chicken is already so juicy, the sauce is just a fancy extravagance.

This is a fantastic recipe! I just finished making it, and I can say that its the best chicken recipe on KZbin. I would just say I think you should cook it at 450 for about 20 min, then drop it down to 400 or 350 until it reaches 150 internal temp, so it does not burn on the outside. The only down side is that it makes a decent amount of dirty dishes.

This has always been my go to since I read it in the Serious Eats days. I have always used the old Thomas Keller 'trick' of removing the wishbone before cooking, to make it easier to carve later on. It's a bit of a pain to remove when the bird is raw, but I find it worthwhile.

@@Trinciacrophobiaso the oven has two major types of heat transfer: convection which is the hot air moving and entering in contact with the chicken and radiation which radiates from the hot parts of the oven. the convection oven, as the name suggests forcibly moves air around making the convection type of transfer stronger, which occurs more or less uniformly, if not stronger closer to the fan (but it envolves fluid dynamics and turbulence so its tricky to know for sure). key thing is the radiation, which is spotty and generally stronger to the back of the oven is not affected by that. so in conclusion the convection increase probably does not affect the heat distribution all too much, just bumps it all up, making it possibly worse distributed actually. but i might be, and probably am wrong, because this stuff is really complicated.

Sous vide is submerging it in a bag in water so it gets the perfect internal temp so you can sear it to finish. You’re thinking of braising. Braising in gravy would be a bad idea as it wouldn’t penetrate the meat because of how thick it is, plus it would be a massive chunk of time to clean up. I’d braise it in Turkey stock or broth. Spatchcock, sear every part, and then submerge the Turkey 3/4 of the way up with chicken/Turkey stock, cover, and cook to the desired internal temp. Perfect Turkey.

This is THE way to cook chicken in your barbecue (well 'beercan' is pretty neat and rotisserie also). High heat (indirect) and it is amazing. Also - Kenji does not mention - but your cooking time is less than with a non spatchcocked chicken. The old Weber barbecue cookbook has a recipe for Pollo Diablo (spelling might be a bit off), spatchcocked, marinaded in orange and lemon juice with olive oil, rosemary and garlic (and salt plus some dried chilli flakes if you wish) for up to 4 hours or so and then BBQ. Always a crowd pleaser.

I usually take the wings off and throw them over with the backbone to use that for making stock.... nobody in my family likes the wings. And if you first fill up your roasting pan with potatoes, carrots, celery, seasoning and herbs, throw a cup of stock in the pan and the spatchcocked chicken on top of that, you'll be amazed how moist the chicken turns out. Finish with the broiler or convection to crisp the skin. The underside keeps cooler as the steaming chicken stock hits it. The veggies turn out fantastic with the chicken fat rendering down on it. Set aside the veggies, then strain the remaining stock and reduce it with some wine, butter and thicken it with baked roux or cornstarch slurry. I've been doing that for years now and it's always a family favorite.

I think this is funny all of a sudden spatchcocking chicken is the new rage. I've been spatchcocking chicken and Turkey for over 20 years.

When I cook the chicken like this (on the wire rack over a sheet pan) the fat renders out and drops into the pan and burns to shit. Tons of smoke! I always have to put a little bit of water in the sheet pan to keep it from smoking out the entire house. Am I doing something wrong? How do you get away with it?
