  1. Nice story to give a glimpse of the processes and diligence in how testing these recipes works, and the mistake that resulted in this particular solution. Do wish though, that you had linked the final recipe for this chicken in the comments or on the screen. That would have been the perfect tag-line for this podcast.

  2. One of my happiest accidents years ago was trying to make chilis rellenos. It just didnt work, so I turned it into chili relleno casserole and it was still delicious enough to include in my repertoire. If we dont fail, we never learn. 70 years in the kitchen and thousands of mistakes have taught me a great deal, and I'm still learning.

  3. This is a variation of a method originally publicized by the nutritionist Adele Davis and used by Chris Kimball's mom for their holiday turkeys. It really upsets the USDA too. LOL I do use Brian's method frequently for chicken.
