    Q: Aren't red potatoes bad for mash? Don't they set up like library paste when they cool?
    A: Yes, if you only use red. But the mixture of the two types of starches you get by adding in a Russet (or any floury potato) fixes that problem. I like the red skins. Yukon potatoes are nice too, but where I live you can only buy those in giant bags.
    Q: What was the brown thing in the frozen peas?
    A: A little piece of stem. Not unusual. I took it out.
    Q: Why frozen peas?
    A: Good fresh peas are really hard to come by. They start losing their sweetness the second you pick them. I speak from experience; I used to grow them. The few times I've gotten fresh peas at the farmer's market, they've been starchy by the time I could eat them. Frozen peas are the greatest frozen vegetable. The farmers/processors are able to pick and freeze them at their peak of sweetness, and the flash freezing process they use really preserves the texture. The times in my life when I've had perfect fresh peas have been moments of divine inspiration, but they've also been few and far between.
    Q: Can you be more specific about why you didn't like the breast-side-down method?
    A: 1) It didn't cook the dark meat as much as I want, though it did a better job than standard roasting; 2) There wasn't nearly as much good fond, so the gravy was pale and bland; 3) The breast didn't have time to brown as much as I wanted; 4) It was kinda hard to know when to flip it, and the flip was kinda physically tricky. The breast stuck to the pan and the skin tore.
    Q: Why didn't you make Yorkshire pud?
    A: I'm willing to be proven wrong, mate, but I've eaten many yorkies in the U.K. and in my own kitchen, and I think they're overrated. I think the gravy is a higher use for that fat. But you do you!
    Q: Why did you let that lemon seed just drop into the gravy?
    A: Because I'm not fussy. Unless it's for a dessert or something, I never worry about catching the seeds. They haven't bothered me yet. But you do you.
    Q: I saw some pink flesh in your leg quarters. Are they undercooked?
    A: No, they're cooked to smithereens, which is how I like my dark meat. The flesh right around the hip joint will pretty much always be pink, even if you cook it to a really high temp, as I did. This is one of many reasons why color is an imperfect gauge of temperature in meat.
    Q: Why is your gravy pale?
    A: I wouldn't call it pale; I'd call it blonde, which is how I usually like poultry gravy. You could make yours more brown by cooking the roux for longer. Personally, I really dislike the flavor of brown roux. In the U.K., they're also fond of using additives to brown their gravy, such as a liquid caramel coloring they call "gravy browning." You could also use that, I guess!
    END NOTE: I really want to thank everyone for being so positive and supportive about my first sponsorship! Skillshare is a great company, they've been great to work with, and you'd be doing me and yourself a favor if you clicked on the link up top and got your two-month trial. I also want to thank my agent, Colin West, who is out there making a lot of things happen for me with his bad-ass Scottish accent. I put a lot of time and effort into these videos, and it's great to have my labors rewarded via good ol' fashioned commerce. As a long-time journalist, that's a very unusual experience for me!

      @@cathl4953 when you make roux, you can smell the flour cooking. after a minute or two it'll start putting off a smell that reminds lots of people of roasted nuts. if you don't do that, the gravy might have a bit of a yucky raw flour taste, but it's not a huge deal, imho.

    3. I mixed in sweet corn with the peas because I didn't have enough peas.

    First of all, I would like to say that your videos are the most addicting and entertaining cooking videos on UA-cam period. They are so well edited, educational, and so home-y if that makes any sense. Second of all I wanted to ask if it would be a good idea to make a garlic seasoning butter and rub it all over the chicken before it bakes? The only problems I see with that is that it might burn easily. Thanks!!!

    I'm going to give you the best compliment I think I can give a UA-cam cooking channel. I've fed this meal to my family and friends twice in one month because how easy concise and delicious it is. Even though it was twice in the same month they were just as impressed with the food the second time they ate it. Chicken tacos used to be my go to meal to please a group and people loved them but this is just too damn good. Thank you.

    Adam, I LIKE that you cook slowly. I've only recently started watching your videos. As much as I love many other "foodtubers," you show cooking in a way that's not only delicious but approachable for home cooks. Not a ton of special ingredients that I'll only use once and leave to in the back of the pantry nor techniques that aren't easy to accomplish. I really enjoy watching others' ideas on how they "elevate" dishes, but in my kitchen at the end of the day, I want something easy and approachable where I don't feel like I have to rush. Thanks for sharing your recipes with us!

  • @stluanne

    I made this chicken tonight again (3 times so far) - and it is, bar none, the best best best way to simply roast a chicken. If you just follow Adam's directions you'll end up with a moist, tender, perfectly-cooked 3-4 pound chicken and yummy gravy! Whatever you serve with it, your chicken will be delicious. Since there are only two of us, I end up with enough leftovers (meat, gravy and the bony carcass) to make a simple "pot pie" with a biscuit top "crust". This recipe is absolute pure gold.

  • @k80.01

    Adam, I recently tried this roast chicken recipe, and I was skeptical at first; I thought that the meat would be bland because there’s no brine. I’m happy to say I was wrong - it came out perfectly! Juicy, tender, and insanely flavorful and delicious. Thank you for this recipe - my family and I are certain to make it again!

    After watching your videos, i got reaffirmed that i can try whatever i want, as long as it taste good to me. I don't want to impress people, i want to make good food for myself.
    Greetings from germany. I recommend you to all my friends that want to learn cooking. I got so many good tips from you, and it aligns perfectly with my style of cooking. No need to be snobish about anything, you just do what is the most efficent. Like me buying tons of meat of the store, freezing it, and then putting the frozen meat in a pan. It literaly taste amazing, but if you told snobs about it, they would say its worse because frozen. But they couldn't tell the difference in a blind study.

    A great tip for keeping chicken/turkey warm is to wrap them in tinfoil right out of the oven and cover with some towels. The birds will cool down slowly as you make the gravy, potatoes and vegies. Jut have to make sure you open up the foil a couple time to pour in the juice from the bird like Adam did here.
