Classic Roast Chicken Ultimate Guide | Jacques Pépin Cooking at Home | KQED
Jacques Pépin shares a gloriously simple but detailed recipe for classic roast chicken. He includes techniques for how to remove the wishbone like a pro, how to truss a chicken with twine to keep its shape, how to make sure a chicken is evenly roasted, and a great way to baste it using only its own juices, butter, potato starch, and chicken stock.
Once the chicken is roasted, Jacques teaches us how to carve and present the dish with a side of fresh watercress. Elegant and delicious, this roast chicken recipe is a classic for a reason.
What you’ll need:
3 1/2 lb Chicken, 1 tbsp butter, salt and pepper, 1/2 cup chicken stock, dash of soy sauce (for color), 1 tsp potato starch, watercress

With this technique how best to get roast potatoes and veg? Pop them in the pan halfway through? Or do them separately I guess then smother them in the gravy?
Soooo appetising
Everything he does is perfect!
Just roasted my first chicken following this recipe, and it was delicious! Heck of a meal for 13 bucks. Thanks Jacques!
I'm going to try this recipe tonight for dinner thank you for showing me!
I love this man…..great cook and spot with the instructions. Thank you for all that you have done to make us better home cooks.
Amazing!! So fascinating
You must be high… just put it in the oven!
Hv u ever tried Indian Tandoori chicken ❓️❓️❓️
Class apart dish.
🚩🇮🇳🚩
This recipe is pure gold. It reliably turns out the best roast chicken ever with no guessing, no failures and creates the juiciest, crispy skin roast chicken ever, without a doubt. Thank you Jacques. This is one of the few recipes that promises AND delivers. I am cooking all of my chickens like this from now on. On top of it, the trussing and carving method is genius!
Didn't understand a word. I don't cook- was looking what to do with a frozen chicken someone gave me-I literally didn't understand this- the wishbone , the strength, the cord, the names , the frying not oven, carving (OMG!!) , this is for the people who cook.
Everything he cooks is so beautiful visually. I love how he makes it so simple.
Love watching him cook!
