    This isn't a recipe... This is where you get to colour outside the lines, and really cook dinner. I also show you a French Classical Method for Spatchcoking a chicken - though it could be any bird.

    This way of spatchcocking a chicken looks so much easier than the popular method. Thanks for the demo!

    • @RedRisotto
      @RedRisotto Рік тому +7

      This is better... Because you can control the cook on the different kinds of meats. In addition, dividing it makes it easier to fit things if cooking more than one bird at the time. On a kettle grill, it often gets hotter at the outer rim (on a Weber at least.) Place the bonier parts of the birds facing in that direction. Perhaps the flattening of a whole bird looks prettier, but in terms of cooking compared to this method - no benefit.

    And for those of us with fewer mouths to feed, it is easy to cut the chicken in half (through the breast) after it has been spatchcocked. Cook half and freeze the other half for later.

    • @RedRisotto
      @RedRisotto Рік тому +1

      It's no very practical to freeze a whole birds with bones and cartilage... It take longer to thaw and the meat gets stained from the myoglobin when thawing. Pick it apart - thaws in no-time and the meat doesn't get stained.

    You are so right Glen My mom insisted I cook when I was a young teen. I cooked chicken, hamburgers, and pork chops for the family, not just me. I also cooked navy beans, pork and beans, green beans, various potato recipes from fried to mashed. I thank her all time, and she has been gone for decades, God rest her wonderful soul. My wife is equally as grateful.

    Recently I was talking to my mom and she was asking what was my favorite meat marinade. I told her my trick for marinade was to make a salad dressing. Oil, acid (usually a vinegar), herbs, and salt & pepper. My favorite spice profile is north Mediterranean based on salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and oregano. If the meat is flavorful like lamb or goat, the oil is olive. if the meat is mild like tilapia or chicken, the oil is canola.

      It's common for grilling/smoking... Many restaurants don't do it any more because it's faster to deal with one piece (a whole bird) at a time, e.g. rotisserie, over coals or smoking.

    At 6:20 where you finger is holding the flat piece of cartilage... After, you can give that a slit with your knife, and crack the bird to make the breast section flatter (will cook more evenly.) Also, it makes it cleaner two divide it in to two servings when cooked. It takes an extra 10 seconds. It's worth it.

    This is a great way to cook chicken. I use chicken thighs, olive oil, wine, herbs and garlic. For vegetables I always include potatoes, onion, peppers and courgettes. Mushrooms, carrot, sweet potatoes, aubergines, and cherry tomatoes I will throw in if I have them. Sometimes I use pork chops instead of chicken. Never thought to use asparagus but I think I’ll give it a go.
