She reminds me of a modern day Jane Darwell(Bright eyes 1934)
Unbelievable Can't wait to try it!
Love Julia!
I love using the CI Dutch oven for your brick. I just ordered a new CI chicken Fryer. original uncoated metal. I love the care and seasoning of cast iron… can't wait to do a couple rounds of seasoning my cast iron skillet, the chicken under brick. looks so good. I expect a happy hubby.
Julia I watch you and the Test Kitchen whenever I can with my wife and we have done a number of recipes but this one is spectacular. I am a chicken freak and this way of preparing it is the best ever. One question, when I took my pan from the oven I noticed I had a lot of liquid around the potatoes and yours was pretty dry. Did I do something wrong? Was I supposed to drain the potatoes when I took the chicken off before putting the potatoes back in the oven for their final 10 minutes?
Simple but brilliant. Thank you.
How much weight is going onto the chicken if you dont have a HEAVY Dutch oven as seen in this video?
*brushes marinade on top: “Oh stop”
She’s awesome.
JUST roast chicken & potatoes! Mmmm
That pan flip is the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen, what a genius move
Sooooo…wrap the bottom of the Dutch oven to keep it from getting messy but then put it on the stovetop after it's been touching raw and/or greasy chicken? Now you need to clean the stovetop, right? Great tip, but probably a better idea is take the foil off and chuck it into the trash.
I made this on Friday, and it was deeeelicious! Also, it was not difficult and it turned out just like it did on this video. I served it and the potatoes with CI's green beans with roasted garlic butter (a great make-ahead for T-day BTW).
Now that’s schmaltzy!
🥰😍❤️❤️👏👏👏👏
Any information on those poultry shears?
Julia you need your own show. I love your recipes and your instructions
This is timely! I am planning to roast a duck for Thanksgiving and "under a brick" was recommended, but I actually have no bricks on hand. Watching this I realized I can use my stock pot, filled with canned goods for weight!
I thought non-stick pans weren't supposed to be used in the oven at temperatures much over 350F?
Isn't this an old video? Are you resubmitting it for some reason?
I just imagined myself cutting my finger off with that humongous scissors 😵😵
I adore Julia and Bridget. (Becky Hays too).
Dont get why all recipes call for removing the back bone , when a lot of people including me likes to chew on that.
Also towel:::
Where do we find chickens that small?
You are absolutely charming, beside your mouthwatering chiken recepe. Lots of love put into what you do. Very inspiring. Thank you dear for sharing this scrumptious recipe. I too love roast chicken and make sure l have it regularly on my table. Bless you and your cooking.
Looks soo delicious. Making it this weekend.
She shoots she scores! And then does a pan back flip! That dish does look delicious, fast and easy (but mostly delicious). The butterflying of the chicken seems like the most difficult part but even that doesn't look too hard.
Roast chicken is so underrated.
"oh.. STOPHH"
whoever married this women, has a treasure.
I would brush the herb and garlic mixture the other side of chicken too but nice recipe
Julia…can you talk about why you like that style of knife? I don't have any with that front point and wonder what the advantage is?
Growing up, Mother called this "ironed chicken'. Same effect.
Julia, you developed the brick recipe?!?! That's amazing, it's been a favorite of mine for a long time.
sad that they never noticed that there’s clear raw parts showing after it’s “done”
Awwwe. I remember when she did this originally. She was so feisty with the rubber mallet. Chris Kimball made fun of her saying she looked like she just got that from the garage! 😂 I’ve been doing my roast chicken like this ever since. That was years ago!!
Nice!!! Love the Press Idea, now I have another use for my NEW Iron Pot! Yeah!
