dang we need some more of this, how come its been 2 years?

[@MatthewBlackwell1015]

For stock, I've done both the pressure cooker version and a slow cooker version. Just like Texas BBQ, low and slow results in a much more flavorful stock. I'm guessing that more flavor compounds get their chance to come out of the skin/bones/fat/residual meat with the longer cook time. We usually just make simple bone stock (i.e. just the carcass and no veg) as it's more versatile. Toss it in the crock pot, salt a little (can always add more when you use it), top with water and cook on low at least 10 hours. Usually start it up overnight. Then strain in the morning.

[@Codswallop58]

Low and slow tastes better in part because a long simmer reduces the liquid somewhat, making the flavors more intense. Pressure cookers and Instant Pots are great ( I use them a lot) but some things can’t be rushed.

[@Diebnak]

as someone who cooks for a living i really like your approach to cooking, so many people stressout about measurments and getting things "right ". As a side note, if you want to kick your sauce into a next level, you might swicht out the roux with butter and make a redwine butter sauce XD

[@shaneishaeaton6694]

What red wine do you suggest?

[@Codswallop58]

@@shaneishaeaton6694 generally, if you like it to drink, you’ll like it to cook with. Some people try to save money by using a cheaper wine for cooking. That’s OK as long as it’s d3cent for drinking, but never cook with a wine you would not drink on its own. As Justin Wilson used to say, the kind of wine to drink is the kind of wine YOU like, and only you know what that is. Trust your taste.

[@AurelienCarnoy]

I don't get it. You add butter or you remove the oil and then add the butter ? Thank you

[@NGC1433]

Well, as somebody who feels as if i had two left hands sticking out of my ass when I approach cooking - directions like "salt and pepper to taste" are useless, daunting and very frustrating. Not because I am stressed to get it perfect, but because I am clueless if we are talking pinch of salt, a teaspoon, a tablespoon or half a cup of salt. And I am not tasting raw minced meat either. How many 4-meal worth of portions of meat am I supposed to make taseteless and dead sea-salty before I develop my "taste"? Every time I see that in a recipe book I immediately want to start my own crypto coin, so I can afford a new ultra deep hole boring. Just to enable me to drop that book straight into hell. Why can't there be a baseline, like "about two pinches" instead of absolutely useless "to taste". I will know to make it three pinches if I am a salty mofo.

[@fugoo8912]

This was quite helpful. My first go at deboning was a disaster and I just started ripping bits out since I was over it 😂 This is much more clear and detailed than any other video I’ve found. It’s appreciated.

[@Spiffelight]

Just did it, it's a little frankenstein-ish, but I did it! Will probably take another 20 more of these until I get the self-confidence of doing it! I had lots of slow-cooked onion and fennel, parsley, cashew, bits of sourdough, french mustard, little bit of oliveoil for good measure. Should definitely put in some zested lemon or something too. The sauce I made out of all the chicken juices was; some soy, french mustard, heavy cream, seasoning, filtered smooth. Thanks a lot! I was looking at this video at the same time and rewinded a few hundred times, but I did it!

[@Ragnarok043]

Jacques Pepin is an amazing chef, my passion for cooking came from watching his shows growing up. he has a natural talent for teaching. instead of just showing you the recipe, he focuses mainly on the technique and explains why.

[@ohp98]

[@noob19087]

That tutorial on how to dissect the chicken was really helpful, thanks! I haven't had nearly as much experience with cooking whole chickens as I probably should, it's a shame you can't find them anywhere where I live (except frozen, I guess.) But anyway, one of my current favourite ways of cooking chicken is stir fry. Just put some thinly sliced chicken in a screaming hot wok with a lot of oil, fry them until they barely change colour, remove on to a plate, add fresh vegetables, fry them, add the chicken back in and then add a sauce made from soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, pepper, water and corn starch. Fry while tossing/stirring until the sauce thickens and chicken is cooked. Add sesame oil towards the end. That way you get some seriously tender chicken and fresh crisp vegetables, that with a bit of practice will easily outrival most chinese restaurants.

[@BloodSprite-tan]

this is not a tutorial on how to dissect a chicken, this is a tutorial on how to remove the bones. dissecting a whole chicken is a much different procedure and you're watching the wrong video. unless you are not using the word dissect literally, in which case, why? there are plenty of other terms that can describe the situation equally well.

[@noob19087]

If you want a super easy way to make consomme, look up freeze-thaw clarification. If you're already freezing your chicken stock, it basically just requires a day of extra planning. Also, freezing in flat sheets in ziplock bags makes it easier to store, easier to portion and easier to thaw.

[@Quibus777]

About stock, put labeled bags i n your freezer, a bag for each type of meat with bones you use and one for veggie. Collect bones tendons and trimmings while you cook, never wasting even small bits from small cooking sessions. Check onions for dirt and molt after the first cut (when you half it) and peel outer layer and papery stuff put in bag. Scrape carrots clean then thin peel, peels and trimmings in bag. Garlic cores and outer layer in bag Use the carrots as cooked veggie or in salad The bag in freezer provides the stuff you need for stock. Just make it when your bag is full and use the fullest bone bag (or none) Freeze the not used stock. Specially with veggies this is awesome for it makes prepping easier (nicely peeled onion for example) and you won't lose flavor and with red onion or garlic the stock gets such nice color. Extract those flavors before composting it is like free stock of superb quality.

[@chefman1859]

I too did this deboning several times and this skill is very rewarding. Your video breakdown is much easier to follow than Jacques since he does his so fast. Pre-seasoning and drying the bird is an important step. The few things I do different are I like to roast the bones before creating a stock in the pressure cooker and let it release pressure overnight. It results in stock that has a great depth of flavor and darker color. I've never seared my trussed chicken beforehand, either. I place it on a rack in a very hot oven, about 475º (similar to Thomas Keller's roast chicken recipe) and it comes out extra crispy without the need for oil. Do you find it makes a difference to sear it first vs only roasting?

[@barbrsk7296]

Not really the type to comment (or try recipes, really) but this turned out amazing. Even though deboning the chicken takes some time if you haven't done it before, it's not really a complicated process. And SO worth it

Great video. Sometimes I have difficulty just butchering a whole chicken into its respective parts so I can see I'll need to watch your video, and Jacques Pepin's, a number of times before I feel comfortable trying to debone a whole chicken.

[@mynt253]

Hearing "yeet" in a cooking video was the last thing I expected.

[@eruiluvatar236]

This looks real good, easy enough and compatible with my diet so I will give it a go!. Regarding the stock, once you are done you may want to try cracking the bones open, adding 10ml of vinegar per litter of water and slow cooking them for a day (may or may not work with a pressure cooker). You will get quite a bit more flavor out of them that way, in fact you can get something out for like 4 or 5 times of doing that until the white parts turn into a powder but only the first time will have enough gelatin to thicken when cooled.

[@chaegibson720]

[@AurelienCarnoy]

I subscribe. It lookes feasible, delicious and well explained. Plus funy anecdotes.

[@InezAllen]

I don't know if this is a french technique, but I almost always roast the bones for a bit before making stock, especially when I use a pressure cooker. it gives some of that slow cooker flavor, and I really love the darker brown stock rather than the lighter yellow

[@thetasteemporium]

they're different kinds of stock. there's light stock and dark stock, and it depends what you're going for. There's french names for both but I forget them tbh.

[@davidmaisel8062]

Nice technique especially with deboning the wings! That's usually where I go wrong.

[@alevanderBatman]

You say this could be your meal for several days, but how do you save it? Can you just refrigerate it? Can you freeze it and not lose texture and flavour? And great video! Very excited to see what you'll do next :)

[@thetasteemporium]

Yup just refrigerated and reheated. Even cold it's quite good. Not sure about freezing though

[@charlesbannon6909]

Dude I am falling in love with these videos. I have a question myself. I really love to cook. Sometimes for me personally it can be a real challenge I have a lot of allergies I need to account for and a fair amount of substituting. What are some good recommendations for a aromatics and things with that same kinda savory profile I could use? I'm allergic to the whole union and garlic family, unfortunately. I'm always down for tips and resources this component really has been a struggle though. Bland stocks, muted food etc.

[@thetasteemporium]

hmm that's a tricky one. You'll end up making stuff that tastes very different but could still be good. Fennel, radish, celery are all good options if you get the proportions right. Lean heavier on the herbs as well. Tarragon, thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, maybe some ginger depending on what you're making. Also you should look at japanese cooking. They never use garlic and onions are usually for toppings. Making dashi-like broth is a great way to get something delicious without onions or garlic, though the lack of scallions would be noted. Bonito and kombu make amazing stock, and you could totally add them to a chicken stock base. Most dried fish and shrimp make good broth. Also look at fermented additions to your soups. Miso, gojujang, that sort of thing. Lots of flavor, no onions.

[@Thirteenthdi]

I did not expect to hear an "yeet" in a cooking video.

[@FGDDD7]

Looks delish. I need to get a new skillet. Also, can't agree more about the bones. Finding a bone in a fish dish can often make me lose my appetite completely and I'm far from picky.

[@skylerhall5789]

First off, wonderful recipe my wife and I just made this and it was an awesome adventure cant wait for another video to try. I have seen some conflicting information online whether this would be considered a chicken galantine or a chicken ballotine? What are your thoughts?

[@thetasteemporium]

Technically this is a ballotine. Which means "tied". A true galantine is strictly poached not roasted. And galantines are usually served cold. But who wants to eat cold boiled whole chicken? Ew. And many places have come to call this a galantine. But ballotines can also be poached. It's just any dish that's deboned and tied like this. So it's one of those things where all galantines are ballotines, but not all ballotines are galantines. Like how all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.
