    I did this chicken the 1st time without doing the brine process. The chicken was not crispy,. So I did it again with the brine process. To avoid having it super salty as others have said, I made sure to use kosher salt and to brush off the salt (as he briefly implies at 4:04). Woah, what a difference. The chicken was super crispy, really delicious. Quite impressed.

    I made this tonight for dinner without the salt brine and it was pretty damn amazing. I did however salt it and let it sit until moisture drew out (about 30 mins). Then I patted it dry, made the herb and butter mixture and then stuffed it under the skin (after letting it sit to get to room temperature and seasoning it with garlic powder, salt and pepper with a little extra butter on top). I popped that 3.3 lb monster in the oven at 375 (pre-heated for 20-30 mins) and cooked it for 55 minutes. I decided that I rather start it off at that temperature and work off of that after 45 minutes to determine if I needed to up the temp or not. Better safe than sorry (didn't want to do all that and have a burnt chicken). I did however, have to turn it around so that it would brown evenly on top (my oven is old) and served it with the sauce you made as well. Made a side of mashed potatoes and sauteed asparagus to go with it. Best damn chicken I've ever had. Moist, perfectly seasoned (if you know what you're doing) and crispy. 😍 Thank you Babish. I'm so crutched with making Asian cuisine and this was the first whole roasted chicken and classic "American" dinner that I've ever made and it came out well. Maybe I'll start making other things outside of the Asian world. 😅

  • @SambabaL
    @SambabaL Před 4 lety +449

    For the people who end up with over-salty chicken and think rinsing the chicken after brining defeats the purpose :
    The purpose of (dry) brining is seasoning the meat (so not just on the outside) and changing the structure of its muscle proteins so that they’re better able to retain their own juices. When salt is applied to raw meat, juices inside the meat are drawn to the surface. The salt then dissolves in the exuded liquid, forming a brine that is eventually reabsorbed by the meat. So rinsing will only wash off the excess salt while the meat itself will stay seasoned.
    If you pat it dry after rinsing and place it back in the fridge for an extra hour the chicken will be dry enough to get it nice & crispy after roasting.

  • @rkbkirin5975
    @rkbkirin5975 Před 6 lety +695

    You need to show how to remove the salt cure! I have seen this technique on TV shows and videos and they NEVER show this critical step!
    Do you just dump away the salt? Is there any washing of excess salt with water (which seems like it would defeat the purpose of drying the skin) or is it just brushed away? What techniques do you recommend to get rid of concentrated pockets of hidden salt that can result in unpleasant salt explosions when tasted?
    I've tried this curing with a duck which ended up ruined. I know other people who have tried this and their meat ended up being unbearable salty as well. Chefs always ignore vital information like this. If you are doing a basic video then please show ALL the steps especially the ones you think are "obvious" because they are not to people who want to learn.

      @@ComradeGrumbles the first time, I tried just removing it by hand. Last night I tried this again (but I only brined it for about 4-5 hours instead of 24 like last time). This time I probably spent 10-15 minutes trying to brush every single bit of salt off. It was edible this time, but still pretty salty. Next time I probably won't bother with the brine at all. One modification I would definitely suggest is to line the bottom of the pan with some aluminum foil, and potatoes and carrots, the first time I made this it smoked like all hell because of all the fat hitting the hot pan and burning, but the carrots, potatoes and foil kept it from smoking at all this time.

      Rinsing won't defeat the purpose. The purpose of (dry) brining is seasoning the meat and changing the structure of its muscle proteins so that they’re better able to retain their own juices. When salt is applied to raw meat, juices inside the meat are drawn to the surface. The salt then dissolves in the exuded liquid, forming a brine that is eventually reabsorbed by the meat. So rinsing will only wash off the excess salt while the meat itself is seasoned and stays seasoned.
      If you pat it dry and place it back in the fridge for an extra hour the chicken will be dry enough again to get it nice & crispy after roasting.

    Okay honestly didn't have the time to make this specific recipe but it did help me prepare a pretty delicious whole chicken for my friends. I usually avoided whole chicken because cutting it was a nightmare but with it butterflied it was SO much easier. Plus the salt bath to get the crispier skin. I did not have 24 hrs but I salted it about 4 hours prior the meat came out juicy and flavorful with pretty crispy skin still.

      It didn’t turn out too salty like some others have said, and was crispy to boot. I did only have the salt on for 4-5 hours though. Hope this helps.

    Ok, so I feel like I am definitely the target audience for this series (mostly I cook a lot of pasta because it is easy) the only other recipe I have tried is the sheetpan salmon with potatoes and asparagus which came out amazing. I have now tried the recipe in this video twice and I have a few comments.
    1. removing the salt brine is not properly explained. The first time I made this recipe I tried brushing it off by hand and it came out inedibly salty (I had to throw it out). The second time, I spent 10-15 minutes brushing all the salt off and it was still too salty (but not inedibly so) I doubt I will try brining it next time.
    2. I highly suggest lining the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil, and some roasting vegetables (I used potatoes and carrots this time). The first time I made this recipe I nearly got smoked out of my kitchen because of the fat rendering out of the chicken and directly hitting the hot pan, the second time I made this there was no smoke, and I got bonus roasted veggies for the side...

    I have a real love hate relationship with this channel. I've been cooking for my entire career. I started in a sandwich shop at 13, moved to Pizza Place (Moose's Tooth, look it up) and have spent the last few years working with some really great chefs at a few different restaurants. I was passionate about learning and joining a new team always excited me and terrified me at the same time. But, almost two years ago I started getting sick, a year and a half ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I tried to keep working full time and do my treatment but my body wasn't up to it. Eventually I had to leave my job, and sadly I was replaced before I could go back. I fell face first into drugs for a few months and ended up in a rehab center, leaving cancer and drug free. I was given an opportunity to try out at a local place after not cooking for 9 months (not even at home.) I felt that any passion or excitement I had felt before was gone, and all I was left with was this overwhelming fear of failure. That feeling, along with the stress of living in a car during the winter in Alaska tricked me into quitting after less than a week. The next place I went was out of business a couple weeks after I started. And I ended up working with a chef who was running a couple of different restaurants, he let me name my price and pick my schedule. Sounded to good to be true, because it was. (Not his fault.) As promises became daydreams, the love I once had for cooking became a distant memory. Truth be told it was gone before the cancer was, but I don't know how to do anything else. I ended up leaving that position, and moving to a remote island over 700 miles away from the nearest real kitchen. The store here has a produce selection that can be counted on a full set of fingers (literally.) I've made a promise to myself that I would try something else before returning to work in another kitchen. But watching these videos has inspired me to cook again, even if just for myself or a loved one. Which I really appreciate. But I can't find the ingredients for any of this stuff so it's frustrating. Almost worth moving back to the city.
