      HI Bridget, I think you might have something there. I would say the Origination of this Dish is from the Basque region, given that it has a Tomato base (Paste) in it, typical of that region as not too many French dishes have that. Someone else further down here said their Bretagne family had never of it, which goes to show how regional French cooking is.

    The best time I have ever ate this was at a little cafe near Versailles. It was in the middle of january and my husband ordered this, I had beouf. His poulet chasseur was the best I ever tasted. I have tried to make for him like they did for one year. I saw this last week and tried this recipe and it is perfect. That day showing my husband Versailles was made most perfect by this dish. So many thanks for showing me how to do this in a better way. I believe it is the stock that makes all the difference and is the most important part. I serve with pomme dophinoise, potato gratin. With a good bit of baguette, it is the perfect lunch in the brisk weather days. Thank you again and keep doing videos.

      @MaZEEZaM 3 роки тому +1

      Yes, I learned many things from this channel but in relation to the stock was to dramatically increase the stock flavour by using a quality bought liquid stock to use in place of the water you would usually add and also to take part of the stock and boil it down till it becomes very concentrated and then add that back to your main stock liquid.

      @Tramaine -- LB? Did you hear about the new restaurant in Whole Foods on the south west corner of PCH and Studebaker. It is called (don't laugh) Yellow Fever. It was started by some Asian cooks and it sounds like it is different kinds of Asian inspired bowls. One of the bowls on the menu is called SHANGHAI and comes with braised natural pork belly, sauteed onions, bok choy, asian slaw, shiso leaves and kung pow sauce. Just the pork belly with bok choy has my mouth watering. I don't get into Long Beach very often but my next trip down there I am going to need to try it out. As for the French chef, in France they are all over the place. ;-) My favorite greasy spoon in Nice was near the Port of Nice and called Chez Jackie. You walked in and there was a big bag filled with restaurant loafs of bread. Grab one, break a piece off or take the whole thing to your table. I loved to order spaghetti as my appetizer and then escalope panée (veal cutlet breaded and fried) for the main course with french fries. Pop open the cheap red wine on the table or a bottle of sugar water and you have a meal fit for a balayeur. Cheers

    yes! I always prepare everything I can before I begin cooking. So many cooking channels say something like "while this is cooking now is a perfect time to cut up your vegetables" and I always think why risk it when you can do it all before hand. Since I am still a novice and slow in the kitchen it is especially helpful for me.

    I'm a new cook and recently came across your channel, I really enjoy your demonstrations and clear instructions of technique and preparation.
    Tonight for Christmas dinner I made a version of this dish. Instead of stew, I made it into a sauce and served it over some sage seasoned mashed potatoes and saved the vegetables (carrots etc.) from the first step as a side-dish. Absolutely incredible flavor and the first time I purposely started a fire in my kitchen (the flambe step). My wife and I play a game and try to price what we'd pay for the meal if we had gone to a restaurant instead. This was definitely in the "nice dinner for the holidays" price range!
    Beautiful dish, a lot of work but completely worth the effort! Thank you so much for your channel!

    YUM!! Growing up I was fortunate to have both of my grandma's being excellent cook's. Full blood French, I started cooking at 8 yrs old & at the time wasn't aware of the significance it would have on me, I just loved cooking, learning new things but most importantly to keep it simple & use fresh ingredients. Through the years friends have thought that French cooking was something complex in order to get the "signature" end result of classic French cuisine. Your videos show just that. I'm now able to share with them, to show exactly what I've been saying for decades!! I absolutely love your channel!!!

    Made this last night and it was really delicious. Instead of dealing with a whole chicken I bought six chicken legs, four for baking as in the recipe. The other two I deboned; the chopped meat I sautéed and then added to the chasseur sauce; the bones I used for the stock. This is a superb way to prepare chicken. Note that there are differences between the video and the recipe website. I followed the video.

    This is a great recipe! The "super charged" stock makes all the difference. I made a few changes by making a roux along with the mushrooms and shallots before deglazing; I also didn't bake the chicken after browning it, instead I braised the chicken for an hour in that *amazing* sauce (I added an extra 1/4 cup of water to ensure it wouldn't reduce too far during cooking). I also deleted the parsley and doubled the chopped tarragon, adding 3/4's prior to braising and 1/4 before service. It was out of this world!

      well, the leyends and stories of cooking are different in different areas. THIS SAUCE HERE IS CALLED THE SPANISH BROWN SAUCE. like the italians have the tomatoe sauce and the French are famous for the white sauce or ''bechamel' etc. The truth is TALKING ABOUT HISTORY, many of the dishes called French originally came form other parts of Europe. For example, the French Kings were married to Spanish princeses who took with them their own chefs and they brought to France many dishes: chocolate, flan=custard , ''FRENCH TOAST' tipical of Spain Easter holidays. and many other dishes. Yes, the french chefs put France XX century in the map as best chefs, but many of their original recipes were not French.(also some generals from Napoleon, tood cooking recipes books from monasteries and different places when they invaded Spain) The Arabs broght to Europe (Spain, Italy etc) many of their desserts, which passed to Christian Spain, italy, ... and from them to other parts of Europe during centuries,.... and the same happened with other recipes. etc...Now. we can't say one dish is from specific country (except a few inventions from differents chefs famous inEurope). The world -Europe- people have move from one are to another, from North to South, etc. THAT IS WHY WE CAN'T SAY 100% anyone is from a specific race, which that doesn't exist. KING LUIS XIV mother, was a Spanish princesses , and he got married to a Spanish princesses, and the other Lui's too (and Austrian princesses, of Spanish origen) and Napoleon III was too married to a Spanish princess. etc etc

      medinalba VERY TRUE. DON'T FORGET THE INFLUENCE OF AFRICA, AND EAST ASIA. OFTEN SPANISH CONQUESTODORS ROBBED COUNTRIES OF THEIR CULTURE, RESOURCES, AND ENSLAVED THE POPULATION. TAKING THEIR CUISINE, TEXTILES, LAND, PEOPLE, FOOD AND CULTURE AS PART OF THEIR BOUNTY.

    This recipe is so delicious and so yummy!!! The chicken really wakes up with all these unbelievable flavors. I used my homemade veal stock and loved the rich taste and creamy texture. The sauce is truly incredible and I plan to add this dish to my favorites to cook in the fall/winter months. Pure French comfort food to enjoy. Thank you for making this dish. Hope this one goes into your new cookbook.

    I was confused at first because it looked like he was making a stock then added store bought stock. But I came across a really old technique where they made an authentic stock and reduced it by half. It took a lot of hours. Then they made what amounted to a second stock and added it to the first. The second stock was like this video and took much less time. Then you add the second stock to the first stock. This mist be a twist on that double stock.

      Without refrigeration, they'd be making stock all the time. You could always make a big batch and freeze it. My ex- and I made a big batch of chicken stock once with a nice roast chicken. After it cooled we put into these ice-cube bags that I've never seen again and froze the stock. For months we had great chicken stock :D No odd additives or thickeners. For store-bought, you just have to check the ingredients and get the most unadulterated one you can find.
      Chef Michel Dumas on his channel makes his stock without seasoning. That way he can season it as befits the dish.

    nothing better than the classics. chicken chasseur, or chicken cacciatore, in italian cuisine are fantastic. a couple of things though. skip the buerre manie, and saute a roux to a nut brown, much better flavor, then add the mirepoix. wild mushrooms are in order here instead of the champignons. bolets, morels..whatever you find in the forest, saute the tomato paste to bring out its goodness, and keep the chix, after sauteing, in a 400F oven for a min of 45 min to cook through (dry heat-no sauce- to keep the skin crisp)...these are just suggestions. thank you for bringing back great memories

    • @victordulerain9271
      @victordulerain9271 5 років тому

      you can use any wine, white or red, as long as it's a wine you would drink. pick something low in acidity red- merlot, white-sauvignon blanc. keep it under $10 and bob's your uncle. bon appetit!

      btw, make the recipe your own, you're not limited to the exact table of ingredients. this is hunter's chicken....much like bouillabaisse, you cook whatever you catch and won't sell. have fun with it....sherry vinegar, at the end.

      @robinsss 6 років тому +1

      the stock was made with bones that had a little meat on themthere was about a half a cup of carrots and onionsthey were used in the final dish but they cooked down so much and reduced in size so much that you can barley see them under the dark sauce

    I was nearly drowned by Julia Child in Venice over twenty five years ago. She crawled over to our small boat party right before we were to traverse the grand canal. We were nearly toppled with her mad speech and incomprehensible gesticulations. I could tell after a couple of minutes that Julia had a domineering inner child, hence her very befitting last name.

    Made this recipe twice now - Once without the alcohol and the other time with it. Both turned out great. I like the exactness of the recipe and timings that you give, it really helps someone like me to master the recipe.
    Also I have used your savory pastry recipe twice - it's so easy to make, it cooks perfectly and produces a fantastic, rich, crisp but flaky texture. I have used the pastry with a Jamie Oliver recipe for chicken and mushroom pie filling and the combination is delicious!
