    I had the pleasure of eating at Le Coq Rico last year. We had the Baeckeoffe (the whole bird in the clay pot shown in the video) and everything the guys here described is exactly accurate. The flavor of the chicken was so much more "chicken-y" compared to 99% of any other chicken I've ever had before. The fat was soft and luxurious. The vegetables in the pot were fantastic, and the jus really was intense.
    I'll also note that they had some of the best desserts I've had in a long time (with the exception of some of the really creative upscale Mexican desserts we're seeing in NYC).

      I can't recall off the top of my head (it was over 6 months ago), but their menu is online so you can look up prices easily. I was with my wife and in-laws and the Baeckeoffe is designed to be shared among four people, so it was perfect as a main course for our group. The restaurant is certainly expensive so it's more of a special occasion type of place, but I felt it was very very good and worth the cost for its quality and uniqueness.

    WHY IS MY CHICKEN BLOODY IN THE FIRST PLACE?
    Actually, it’s not. Blonder notes, “all commercially-sold chickens are drained of their blood during processing.” The pink, watery liquid you’re seeing is just that: water. The moisture that seeps from the chicken while it’s waiting for you to buy it mixes with that old rascal myoglobin, causing the pink “juices” that you see pooling around the packaged bird-it's called myowater, FYI.
    That same substance is what gushes forth when you cut into a cooking chicken to see if the juices run clear. Unfortunately, that’s a long-held measure of doneness that can’t be trusted. The only way to know if your bird is cooked through: a good quality thermometer. (Here’s the Epi favorite.) To check the temperature, stick the probe into the meatiest part of the bird-checking both the breast and thigh is a good idea. You’re looking for a finished temperature of 160ºF to 165ºF. Accounting for carry-over cooking and the size of whatever it is you’re cooking, that could mean pulling the chicken off the heat anywhere from 150ºF to 155ºF.
    Per Epicurious
    It’s not bloody nor is it underdone.

      Young mishandled birds can have blood frozen inside their bones, in the marrow. The amount of myoglobin in white meat is very less compared to red meat. To avoid blood oozing out of the bones of your chicken, consider buying fresh organic produce.

    I was inspired by this video so I did a tasting of 3 birds (New Hampshire, Plymouth, and Cornish) from the same farm as the video(Frank Reese) through the Heritage Foods website and an additional two, Rhode Island Red and Delaware from Chinatown and a Farmer's Market (didn't get Guineafowl because I figured they're not really chickens, they're more distantly related from chickens than turkeys and pheasants).
    Made a few tweaks: dry brined for 2 days and cooked them all sous vide (dark meat 10 degrees hotter and much longer than white meat) instead of poaching, and roasted just the skin separately between two baking sheets like Kenji's sous vide turkey with crispy skin recipe.
    And served jus shots made from the liquid from the sous vide bags, grilled the heart and gizzards and made chicken livers on toast April Bloomfield style.
    Was amazing and breed really does make a difference.
    Next time I might do it yakitori style.

    OMGEES, A QUIET GUINEA FOWL. No squeaky bike wheel on steroids sound! Also, as far as breeds go English type Orpington and sometimes Sussex 9-24 months old have been my favorite and most meaty so far. Silkie smooth texture and firm texture, flavor stronger than turkey. Aged 2-4 days. Slow roasted, brining during the aging process optional. Haven't had it yet, but Dorking is probably off the chart too. But I mostly raise muscovy duck because of the only 3-4 month growout period. The chickens are just a bonus. Poultry isn't supposed to have no taste and a texture like slugs and sandpaper. That's just how we do it here.
