  4. I did this recipe today. IT IS THE BEST CHICKEN I HAVE EVER HAD!!! I'm not a fan of chicken, but my husband is and so I cook it occasionally for him. I told him this chicken will be a regular on the menu. He isn't arguing LOL. The drippings in the pan looked burnt and stuck a tiny bit to the bottom of my carbon steel pan. I thought about throwing it out, but after heating up some water, I ended up saving it. Yummy, yummy, yummy. Thank you so much.

  12. Nice procedure. I'd go without the brining because I don't like the way brine changes the flavor and texture of the meat, making it taste processed. ATK should state up front that brining has this effect.

  15. Thanks for sharing this! The chicken was really really really awesome. The potatoes were yummy but stick to the foil like it was their job. The carrots burned on the first pass through the oven, let alone the 3 or 4 it's supposed to be in there. Overall it was really good but a pretty major time suck. I would maybe just do the chicken in the future.

  20. I brine and roast a chicken at least once a week. For dissolving the salt and sugar in water, you will save time by using your winning Matfer Bourgeat Pelton Spatula rather than a whisk. It gets more of the water in motion than the whisk will and creates a stronger shear force.

  23. This looks and sounds fantastic! But I will not be able to make it until at least October. I live in the desert Southwest, and the idea of heating my oven to 500 Degrees is not appealing in our blistering, miserable summer months. But I definitely look forward to making this in the fall. Thanks for sharing.

  25. I really enjoy these shows; Julia and Bridget are great. I hate to be cynical, but as soon as I see a chicken go into a very hot oven, I can’t help thinking that the oven will need a complete cleaning afterwards. The fat just splatters everywhere.

  29. Love all the recipes on this channel. I'd tweak (well, totally change) the potatoes though.

    -Par boil. Drain. Ruffle the edges by tossing in sauce pan with lid on.
    – Preheat baking tray with oil on.
    – Sprinkle polenta over potatoes.
    – Pour onto baking tray, make sure oil is completely coating them.
    – Cook anywhere between 1-1.5 hours, turning them and re-ensuring oil coverage at least twice.

    Crispiest most amazing potatoes ever.

  37. I did a search through all of your videos and didn't find any video on cooking chicken on a bundt pan. I think that is how I will go about it. Would love to see y'all do a video on it to see which method is best. I know some use a soda can to hold the chicken up, but I like the bundt pan idea better. The root veggies can get the juices from the chicken as it's cooking.
