Watching Jacques cut a chicken into parts is one of those comforting nostalgic PBS moments like watching Bob Ross fark up a tree.

Whelp, looks like I will be roasting a chicken in a pan this weekend. Turning the jus into gravy though, because I'm fat and also because mashed potatoes are a must.

As a fellow person of fatness, I assure you that only one of the justifications for why to make gravy was necessary. Whichever you picked, the other could be inferred.

I rarely buy chicken parts. It's always cheaper to buy the whole bird and easier to cook all at once though I prefer to do it on the barbecue or in the oven.

I'm curious to what brand pan he switched to at the end.  He starts with a nonstick to brown the chicken and finishes it in the oven with an oval pan.  (I want one of those lol)

Good to know that he's still able to cook without drooling all over the place.

10 pounds of frozen leg quarters are $5 here in s.c. often. there is always 10-20 pounds in my frig.

Legs are cheaper than whole chickens around here too. I've sometimes thought about blowing the money to buy a whole chicken and a few different cuts and see which yields the most actual meat.

I did not realize there was ever a need to justify gravy...

There isn't, but I dunno man. That jus looked pretty thick at the end. A good reduction is sometimes better than gravy.

I don't buy frozen meat. It may be cheaper that way here too.

dude, just dump it out of the can and microwave it. Maybe make a pan sauce with the juices.

Haven't watched the video yet, but I made an awesome roast chicken for XMas. Put salt, pepper, and butter under the skin, set on a bed of chopped veggies (onions, carrots, potatoes) and fresh rosemary, roast to 60 minutes at 450, basting every 5 minutes after the first 30.

Cook whole chickens all the time, on a grill offset from the heat (think beer can chicken), or in the oven with herbs and lemon. I am not against getting a rotisserie chicken from the store, as they tend to be loss leaders and cheap. I prefer to cook my own, but sometimes you just don't have the time cycles.

I throw 'em in the smoker.  Easy peasy with very little cleanup.

The day after thanksgiving I'll hit Hell*Mart late in the day and grab a couple fresh turkeys because they're half price.  They go straight from the car into the smoker.

/Love poultry

Roast chicken with cherry tomatoes, pine nuts, and raisins. Very simple. Great flavor.

This dude just pan fried a whole chicken! Impressive. I think it would be a giant smoke show tho, even with the fan on. Great truss and great presentation.

I honestly love making a whole chicken, either in the oven or in the slow cooker.  But rotisserie chickens have become such popular loss leaders across supermarkets in general that I end up just buying one of those because it's cheaper.

I assumed this would be his usual recipe for the basic trussed, roasted, whole chicken, but it's not.  Sure it's whole and trussed, but he sears it in butter on one side and then roasts it for 20 minutes, sears it in butter again on another side and roasts it for another 20 minutes, rinse and repeat.  It looks really good, I'll have to try it.

It's the missusseses' favorite dinner so we do whole shikkuh and mashed potatoes often. I used to buy rotisserie birds but they always had a slight chemical flavor. Ruined stocks for me, plus most of the gelatin had already cooked out.
