Turducken | Three Bird Roast | Chiduckey

[@monitortop]

I watched this yesterday, and it has stayed with me. It's your Sistine Chapel of Poultry. Truly wonderful.

[@Keefcooks]

Wow, thanks!

[@charlottewall4675]

Such a humble man. ( Don't know what I'm doing) you are amazing! I'm a southern girl here in the USA, we love our turducken, in our house, we took it a step further. Turkey, duck, chicken, then Cornish hen and quail. Took days to prepare, but we all had fun with it. Dressing on the side. Thanks for the memory! 💞

[@Keefcooks]

That is awesome!

[@liammack3635]

Well hats off to you, you stuck with it . From boning , buying a second turkey and the make shift scales . If I had to do that on a Christmas morning I just go sod it they can have egg, chips n beans . Fair play to you Keef.

[@dazzathomas2817]

The funniest thing about this entire video was the weighing process. Absolutely in stitches with the set up. Brilliant stuff

[@Keefcooks]

Thank you!

[@TsuniNightMMO]

I love that your videos show how things can go wrong, but still turn out just fine. From the cooks perspective I could see a near melt down, but from a viewer standpoint it's entertaining.

[@markgaudry7549]

The thinking man's kitchen technician. Love your innovative weighing mechanism.

[@DonutDocP]

I have to admit - even with experience deboning turkey & chicken, I'd have never attempted this. Kudos to you, Sir!

[@hualani6785]

Brave soul! I'd never heard of 3 birds in one, rather glad. Looks scrumptious.

[@ekspatriat]

River Cottage series did a 10 bird roast!

[@lfcmonkeyyyman6229]

The most unorthodox chef on KZbin strikes again!! You are patient and persistent, I will give you that!! This has to be one of the funniest "serious" videos you have ever made!! Most chefs would show the parts that go right, and have a few bloopers and outtakes.. Keef only has bloopers and outtakes to show!!! Thoroughly entertaining as always Keef, I must go and change my pants now, where I laughed too hard!!

[@robertshepherd5163]

Keef, I don't know how you do it. I was exhausted just watching you work so hard. Your heart is really in it.

[@patrickdemarcevol]

When trussing, I put the piled up birds in a large flared bowl, helps put them in the right shape and eases the needlework. Great work Keef, not an easy one!

[@timkouba4347]

Bravo Keef, what a fun video. I really enjoyed watching!!

[@Beruthiel45]

Whoa, the man deserves a medal decorated with a sprig of holly. 🥳 🐓🦆🦃🍻🎄🇨🇦🙂 Edited to add, we cook a 15 lb turkey for Thanksgiving and Xmas at 30 minutes per lb plus 30 minutes . Covered in two packages of streaky bacon but without stuffing. Been using that formula since 1967, works well. Can't get turkey much smaller than that weight here, which fact has its advantages. 😉

Well done keef, I thoroughly enjoyed this video.

[@normanfeerick665]

Keef, great effort. Very logical and difficult. Had the same problem myself three Xmas's ago. Then I found my favourite chef Jacques Pepin. On you tube type Pepin debone chicken. Amazing! Best quote "deboning a chicken shouldn't take much more than a minute". I do hope you look.

[@Keefcooks]

Wow, never seen anyone do that to a chook!

[@normanfeerick665]

@@Keefcooks So glad you found the time. His omelette has a pretty amazing twist as well. Thanks Keef.

[@rickbear7249]

Next time: "Keef builds Noah's Ark and Kooks all the Animals" 🤣 Actually, a great subject this week, Keef👍. As you said, it ended up a bit ginormous, but you could have made two mixed roasts and frozen half for Easter. Really appreciate your doing this one. Thanks, Rick

[@Keefcooks]

WE've got half of it in the freezer for actual Christmas dinner - it'll be perfect!

[@aedinius]

Turducken always felt like it had a Medieval feel to it, just the "over the top" flourish a lot of those meals had.

[@DovidM]

The Romans also roasted one animal inside another.

[@aedinius]

@@DovidM Exactly!

[@AntheaRutherford]

Birds inside birds date back to the Middle Ages -- and they did more than just three. It's a project I've never been able to convince myself to undertake. Very entertaining to watch someone else doing it instead.

[@Keefcooks]

Yep, it is a ton of work that no reasonable person should ever attempt!

[@unklezed2242]

[@WhatsForTea]

You could have weighed yourself on a bathroom scale...and then got on again holding the turducken :) If you have a bathroom scale of course! Brilliant job...looks delicious :) LOT of work though x

[@Keefcooks]

Or just put the thing on the scale. But I don't think our bathroom scale made it when we left Spain! Yes it was an insane amount of work and a nightmare of an edit. Next week's video might be a jam butty. 🤔

Hey I'm one of those dark meat only people. Fortunately, dark meat people are very rare here. Hey Keef, do you like a nice walk? Nothing better for longevity than a nice, long walk. I used to live in a town of exceedingly rare excellence in America for walks. I used to go for two hour walks most days.

[@woodysmum4471]

Your so funny keef, crack me up, good effort on the chiduckey!

[@Keefcooks]

[@allenbrown8158]

good effort Keef, you stuck with it, you can make a small one with a large chicken a pheasant, and a pigeon, or a grouse..

[@Keefcooks]

The only one of those I could easily get hold of is the chicken :-(

[@JTMusicbox]

Great video Keef! I’d heard of this several times before but never attempted it. Now that you’ve done it I may actually give it a try.

[@Keefcooks]

You should!

[@IanSlothieRolfe]

If you'd put the board with the scales on one end and an equally thick book on the other, place the turkey in the middle and the weight of the turkey would be twice what is indicated on the scales....

[@dwaynewladyka577]

In any case, the results were well worth the effort. I'd say everything turned out great. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Cheers, Keef!

[@colepdx187]

This is the first Christmas themed video I've watched in 2020. What a wonderful way to kick off the Christmas season! You are a much braver man than I, Keef. Merry Christmas to you and Mrs. Keef Cooks!

[@DavidFSloneEsq]

I’ve got to admit that I’ve been have a bit of trouble getting into the holiday spirit. I’m sitting in my Brooklyn apartment, isolating because I’m COVID positive, and, to put a poison cherry on top of this toxic sundae, I have no sense of smell. However, the two of you managed to melt my iceberg of a heart. Thank you. As far as this monstrosity of a holiday centerpiece is concerned, I’ve only had one once, back in the mid-‘90s, and I just remember a lot of duck fat with nowhere to go. My suggestion would be to scrap the ho-hum turkey and chicken, and instead use duck, suckling pig, and salmon. Use your meat glue to Frankenstein a patchwork quilt of the three delectable skins into a symphony of crunch, and arrange the innards in such a away that’s the duck, which can stand up serious cooking is on the outside, the pig gets cooked enough to satisfy the food police, and the salmon stays succulently rare (assuming that your using proper Atlantic salmon, and not that wormy Pacific stuff). I wouldn’t be sure what to call such a Culinary Chimera, but I’m sure that Mrs. KC can come up with something apropos.

[@markgaudry7549]

I have always thought a Cornish Game Hen would work better than a chicken. What other three bird combos would you consider? Goose, turkey, duck? Pheasnt, chicken, squab?

I don't know of any game bird specialists in the area so it's a moot point.

It seems that everyone I’ve heard who tried chiduckey tried it only once because the outermost bird was dry and over-cooked and the innermost was underdone. I’m sure that it is all a matter of persistence.

[@Keefcooks]

I would try it again - the cooking of the different meats was far better than I expected!

[@HansDelbruck53]

It's a humorous idea and all that and probably quite tasty. But I don't like the idea of eating something that begins with turd.

[@garrick3727]

Apparently there are medieval variants that use a dozen or more birds. Most of them are very small, so it's basically chiduckey with smaller birds added. Since there is no way to practically share the birds, it was obviously more for shits and giggles rather than taste. Sounds pretty disgusting to me.

[@Keefcooks]

Yes, those medieval folks could be a bit weird. Not like us...
