It came out fantastic. Moist chicken with crispy skin cooked just right. I even had some couscus with roasted red peppers in red wine vinegar sitting in my fridge and pantry. This chicken dinner recipe is a winner.
I am trying this right as I type this. We love a roast chicken on Sunday and eat the left overs early in the week. Using the skillet instead of a roasting pan sounds great to me – less
pan to clean! The cut to the skin before roasting is brilliant. I noticed how much water/juices build up in there when leaving the skin intact. I'll give you an update when it's all done. Thank you for this!
Seasoning on top of the skin right before roasting does nothing for the meat itself and leaves it severely lacking in flavor. I would at least try to lift the skin and season underneath so it contacts the meat directly. Best would be to dry brine overnight.
Also using the drippings for a side means you don't get to use the juices to try to cover up that the white meat is very bland.
please stop with all the pop ups on the screen
Bridget Lancaster is so hot!
You left the oysters
I LUV Lan!!!
I cringe when y'all put a towel right next to a burner. A fireman would tell you to keep that cloth 3 feet away from the flame. 2. I consider that chicken thigh exposed at 7:37 undercooked and unappetizing. My family would not want to eat that. What we would do is save the dark meat and use it for another dish so it gets cooked enough.
Lan is the absolute best!
Looks wonderful
I need to try this with cornish hen
Bring back the Lan-only shows.
Chef Lan is so adorable! She makes my day!! 🥰☮
Where is the stuffing?
Thank you. This is a rare episode. 🙏🏾
I don't historically like couscous, but if Lan says it's good, I'd try making it! Her advice and judgement is always on point.
There’s not a chance in Hell I’d make this. It must be nice to have the time AND energy to do all of this.
I wonder if this method would work with a small turkey and a stainless roasting pan?
5:07
4:11 Quick question. Are they twin? or sibling?
I would rather have gravy than couscous. I thicken chicken and turkey gravy with a butter/flour paste, beurre manié.
Those pop up product ads are so annoying that I stopped watching.
8:41 No need to lie to us lol
I was expecting more nuanced flavor profiles for the chicken than just salt and pepper
I wonder how long the chicken cooked on the stove, or at what temp was it – before it was put into the oven? 🤔
I would love science info on what drippings are. Is it fat? Is it water? How cooking method affect how much you get?
its.2024.and we want to.see more vegan receips.please
You guys have to know that the white woman doesnt add anything to this video, or any video where she's a secondary host.
