      Granted “jus” is key, but you are never going to get that much quality stock from one bird. I have never brined a “restaurant” bird, in 30+ years, saying that yes it probably would add that little “extra” if I did. Most important thing which was not mentioned is cooking temp and seasoning. Get these things right and truly notice the difference. Google deglacing the pan too, amazing how much this adds to the dish. This CZcamsr is a total amateur

    5:22 it makes a *_LOT_* of sense. The salt and sugar draw the moisture out of the protein creating a brine as they combine. This saline solution is eventually reabsorbed into the protein to create the equivalent of a liquid based brine but without the unnecessary addition of non-protein based liquid supplements. While it can be described as curing (I make bacon like this), it is also creating a *_brine_* . Thus both terms are correct.

    It's so subtle, but grabbing the pan out of the oven with a kitchen towel vs an oven mitt really shows how the restaurant industry changes our daily cooking habits. I, too, never use oven mitts anymore. That demi looks so tasty.

    Whole roasting- make a herb-compound butter and insert butter not only on outer skin but under the skine(breast,thigh/drum etc), cavity.
    Breast w/or w/out... with is always better. Use sousvide as a method. Can cook at much lower temps(149°F for 2hrs). Finish pan sear, while basting with butter garlic & herbs. As for temps its pasteurized at that temp in time.

    Great practical information on this video. 👍
    The only thing I wouldn’t do is add anything in your fridge into the overnight stock (bell peppers, apples, etc). Muddles the flavor in my opinion. I would do a vegie stock with these instead and stick with mirepoix for chicken stock. But hey, it’s your stock and you do you, right? No anal rules and no right or wrong.

    You didn't roast the chicken enoupgh to make a brown chicken stock or roasted just, also you never mix old stock with new stick it will just make your stock go bad quicker it's a total no no. U kneed to roast chicken bones so it starts to burn slightly give colour amd flavour. Your dry cure is not right because salt draws out moisture from the chicken lest moisture in the chicken when yoh cook it. Also your chicken at 165 is overcooked that's 19❤50's temperatures go to 150 let it rest perfectly cooked juicy chicken meat will come off the bone if it's still raw it won't
