I made the chicken tonight and it was excellent! For all of you who commented on the gravy being too thin, it is thin because after adding the chicken back into the sauce to finish cooking the chicken releases a good bit more grease. I mixed a half cup cold water with a quarter cup flour to make a smooth slurry and whisked that into the gravy after removing the fully cooked chicken. This made a perfect gravy. The flavors were wonderful! I served it over mashed potatoes and it rivals any restaurant dish. Just needed tiny bit of tweaking. Making the Apple Pandowdy tomorrow!
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
@Shiloh Khalid I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
I love it when Bridget and Julia are in the kitchen together. I know that all the techniques they're talking about are for the benefit of us the viewer, but I think it's so funny that whoever isn't cooking has to stand there and be told things that she has known for years 🤣
Best part of this show and America's test kitchen is the education on how to cook.
My mum never taught me how to cook and I think I now know why. I doubt she knew any of this! At 62, I've learned more in the last few months than in the last 40 years! My family would have loved if I'd met you all many years ago ❤❤❤
I enjoy the two of them taking turns. I'm very happy with the new shows.
Thanks for being a fan!
The apple pandowdy recipe should be illegal! It's so easy to make, yet so deliciously decadent You girls have so much fun working in the kitchen together, you make it look effortless. Thanks for sharing with all of us :)!
Thank you thank you thank you ATK for putting all this content on YT!
I would like Bridget to try deep frying Pierogies in half filled 2 Qt sauce pot with veg oil,up to 375 deg. drain on paper towel after turning light brown on all sides. Then sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning. You could also mix it with sour cream. Mike W
I also love watching all the shows. Only trouble is, their recipes are all kept behind a paywall. So annoying to go over a recipe multiple times sometimes. LOL. I guess these are fancy commericals promoting the website... But I'll keep watching and learning since they are so interesting.
Love the old fashion dishes. :)
I'm glad a coworker suggested this channel to me
I really enjoy watching Bridget and Julia cook together! They are a great pair, and very talented
Omg my mother in law was from Louisiana n I adored her smothered chicken , that gravy was to die for , but never had enough gravy now I will try this to see if it compares
Why didn't they even mention smart speakers like Alexa and Google Home? I've had my Alexa in the kitchen for a couple of years now and it's the best timer ever. I don't have to touch any damn buttons to set as many countdowns as I want. It is also so wonderful at many other things like playing music while you're cooking, converting units in recipes, telling jokes, making calls, switching lights on/off, adjusting thermostats, and on and on and on. THIS IS THE BEST timer and more hands down - a MUST in the kitchen these days in my humble opinion.
AntiDot70 exactly. What’s better than single touch control? No touch control.
What you have is unique and not all of us can afford such luxuries. The test is about affordable traditional timers. Not the new and unique, I think. It might be awesome, what you have, but it isn't available to everyone.
Oh, good then you can buy it for me since it such a must ans I cannot affort one.
That apple pandowdy looks amazing and easy to do. Gonna give it a try.
Great episode. My two favorite Test Kitchen chefs on the same recipe.
Ready for the Bridget and Julia Holiday Fruit Dessert Musical Spectacular!
Like this program very much 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
For the chicken, I would include buttermilk biscuits with the meal.
I found an Apple Pandowdy recipe several years ago from Country Living Magazine, I think. You actually take a biscuit mix you make and roll it into a thin rectangle, you spread soft butter, sugar and cinnamon on it, roll it up, cut into rolls, lay those cut side up in a buttered 9x13 pan, then make the apple mixture with chopped apples, juice, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice and flour to thicken, you cook that apple mixture til thick, then pour over the rounds and bake it. Very good and party looking.
Nice recipe for the smothered chicken; not how I was taught to make it but it looks delicious. Also never heard of apple pandowdy; it looks yummy and I will definitely have to try it.
HOWDY, DOWDY! Thank you for that fun, comforting concoction. It is really delicious.
Your Channel is By Far My Favorite.. And You Two Girls are a Hoot! 💚💜💙💛
Bridget I didn’t know you could sing ☺️
I was sitting here with a good friend who is from Mississippi watching the smothered chicken portion of this video.... it's looks delicious, but I concur with most other comments left, this is not the smothered chicken & gravy I'm used to seeing at my friend's family dinner. The chicken usually has a thicker breading from frying before soaking it in the gravy. The gravy color is typically golden color. That gravy color reminded me of black eye peas (yum) cooked. But everyone has their own recipes and this still looks good for eat and lick my fingers!
A lot of the recipes here are WTF.
That might be an apple pie I can make. Looks delicious!
Lantanana it is so easy and so good
"And I'm a little bit large...so is the dough." "Story of my life." Love these two and their dynamic
Made my pandowdy tonight It was awesome!
Almost like a cobbler! Yummm!
I've heard the song but I've never tasted the dessert. It certainly something I'll have to try. Thank you Cook's country 😋
I made the Apple Pandowdy and it's oh so good!
Those were two AMAZING recipes!!! Keep on bakin' on! Scott, Prince Edward Island Canada.
Nice easy recipe. I will have to try this. Looks delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Love the show love the girls everybody's great!!!!
I love the oven they’re using, it’s beautiful and high tech looking 😀
That looks great! I have to try this in the weeks!
Thanks ladies! 🙂
Seriously educational and a thrill to watch
I just know we' d be friends if we met! Love watching you two work together!!! More recipes to try.!!!!better get at it!
Been watching ATK for years and I LOVE the random point in all their videos when I suddenly salivate. Love you guys!
Julia has great knife skills
I love a kitchen timer from a company called Tanita, it's dedicated buttons for setting 1, 3 and 5 minutes, I think that's not so useful for setting a long time timer but for day to day cooking it's so great.
Hi from Michigan: I use the timer on my iPhone 7 Plus. Easy ⏰

I tend to use my cellphone as a timer as well.
I agree with all who thought this sauce looks anemic; just a touch of Worcestershire Sauce would help, also browning the onions.
Vee Cee Agree, they put in too many onions together and when you do that they come out that gray color, and will never really caramelize or brown. I was told that it's called "sweating" if you use a nice large frying pan instead if the trendy casserole pot you. Would get a better flavor on the onions. I would have cooked celery onions separate.

In the age of smart phones, who needs a countertop timer? On top of that, ranges and microwave ovens today have easy to use timers. Something they didn't mention, is that those large timers are commercial grade, that's why they're so big and the alarm is so shrill. And that big silver one is easy for anyone with at least half a brain to figure out without a manual.
Omg I love these women
This was really great. Thanks
I love the look of the chicken you all cooked and it is nice with the rice, but the gravy is not the Southern made gravy I remember. With the pie I love how yummy it is looking and have to make some myself and taste it.
I aint never seen no gravy like that.
I would be tempted to swap out the Golden Delicious apples for, Crispin (called Mutzu, if you live near the Appalachian Mountains). They are a cross between Golden Delicious and Granny Smith.
I love your show and now I can watch it on YT
Can't wait to try both of these recipes
Just know that ain't a Southern recipe.
I agree with those using an AI for timer.
1. No having to touch ANYTHING
2. No complicated buttons to press
3. No having to pick up the timer to see how much time is left
4. Ability to name timers "Set a 4 minute coffee timer"
5. Ability to have I think up to 10 simultaneous timers
6. Easily stop the timer
7. Set reminders - "Remind me to take the meat out of the freezer in 20 minutes.'
8. Use shopping list "Add flour to my shopping list" as you run low or out.
9. Have recipes read to you
10. Listen to inspiring music while cooking up a storm
I watch you on Create daily and here on You Tube. I love the show.
What a great looking meal...thanks.
A skillet "Apple pie!"
I have two, two dollar timers that are super simple, super accurate, and fit together in any pocket. A third would be no problem. Suits me really well bc I can leave the kitchen, even walk outside, and still stay in touch w/ all that’s going on. But, I’d still kinda like that chosen timer...
Bought the OXO Triple Timer based on this recommendation. The one drawback is that the alarms are so quiet that you can't hear them above normal kitchen noises. I contacted OXO, and they are aware of the issue, but there's nothing that can fix the problem.
To all of you crying out that the sauce looked too thin or too pale, just add a little turmeric for color - it really doesn't taste like much in small amounts like a teaspoon - and boil it a bit more after you take out the chicken. It's really not that hard.
Can’t wait to make yum
$30 gets you an echo dot, which you can use for other things, and is a perfectly acceptable multi-timer.
Or Google Home Mini, yes
Haha, funnily enough, I just made the smothered chicken and used my google mini as the timer!
You're all going with the assumption everyone can have a google mini or alexa. We cant so we need a timer and if you're using your microwave it also won't work as a timer. You need a dedicated device more often than not and not google.
*Robert Ferguson:* Why would you not just use the time on our microwave?
That desert looks so good
Fantastic!
I've heard criticism about the chicken recipe, if you remember the bases for the change was the overpowering of the sauce to the chicken.
Love the cast changes
Oh yes yes yes. Yum-O
I've been using my Google Home Mini as my kitchen timer lately. It's voice controlled, you can name multiple timers and you can just speak to it to inquire how much time is left on a timer. I'm in an apartment, so the Mini in the living room is in range of my voice in the kitchen. Nothing ever spills on it. :) Could be a disruptor for the timer manufacturers. (And it can play music for me in the kitchen)
I just use the phone or microwave.
As usual, amazing!
They didn't test the Chris Kimball / Milk Street timer? Why not?
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
Ah, right, so maybe that's why they didn't test the Thermoworks Timestick. They didn't want folks to go over and see Chris Kimball's timer based on it. And they have to know about it, since the Thermapen is their favorite instant read thermometer! :-D
@@bloodgain I thought the same, the timestick would have win in a heartbeat.
or why not just buy a mechanical timer? twist and it is set, no fucking around with buttons
Chris who??? For me, he's long been forgotten.
Love your show!!!
So far nearly like the way I do it. I don’t use sage because I’m allergic to it, but do I use garlic because I simply don’t like it. I also cut my onions into half moons because that’s the way I was taught. I also don’t like vinegar in it. I’ve tried it - but nope!
Don’t use garlic - sorry!
good one girls!
Is there a chart that lists guantitys of fresh herbs vs dry herbs?
What apples can be substituted for golden delicious apples
It kind of irritates me that they criticize those two timers so harshly. Those are designed for a commercial settings, are incredibly easy to figure out, and are very loud to pierce through all the background noise in a commercial kitchen. They have been standard equipment in almost every bakery that I've worked in. They aren't good in a home setting, but aren't deserving of the harsh criticism.
My $1 timer from the dollar store works fine.
Just a thought. Not all cooks and those who made the vintage dishes originally have food processors. Would it be possible to explain the method to making it like they did back then without electricity?
they used a fork or knife to 😅cut in the butter or just their fingers. and no yogurt
Yum!
I’m curious if you can use fruit other than apples for the pan dowdy? How would cherries work? My sister loves cherry pie, cobbler, etc. I’m always looking for a new way to use cherries for her birthday.
Could I substitute cumin for the sage?
The smothered chicken looks great! But where's the shoofly pie to go with the Apple Pan Dowdy?
I have a huge crush on the girl with the popped up collar
I use grandma's last kitchen gadget she bought before they put her in the grave; I'm 64, so yeah math. It's a unique technology she had - you twist a knob, and it begins to tick. To get even more complicated, if you put the arrow on the knob at the one, it ticks for 1 minute, then there's a ding. Don't get confused, but if you place the knob on the two, it ticks for two minutes, and then there's a ding. Inexplicably, there's no rhythmic variability in the ticks - it's almost as if it's keeping time! We've looked around it, pondered on it, scratched our heads, and it makes no sense. There ain't no batteries!
Julia would have been an amazing surgeon. She is the only chef that says to cheat the cut between chicken leg and thigh towards the leg side. If you don't, you'll likely hit the joint capsule itself. The specifics matter.
How do they manage to keep their dutch ovens looking brand new???
Bar Keepers Friend cleanser.
I want you 2 ladies to be my new best friends!!!! I’ve gotta try this one
Seems like a big miss to exclude Google home and Alexa devices. Voice command are far easier to use than any of the purpose built timers.
6:58 You can tell that Bridget thought about making a “thyme” joke but let it go
Is there any gadget that Oxo doesn’t make that’s the best?
I'm sure the meal tasted good but that's not how Ive ever seen smothered chicken look. The gravy looked way too thin and light. That aint soul food lol
That's what I said, lol
Nope
well at least this recipe won’t give you diabetes and heart failure lol. it looks like the healthy version which.. prolly ok but it won’t be like what your family makes.
What would i change of inused my iron skillet?
Justin Lay in iron skillet just knock oven heat down by 25*.
Your girls are the dream team! Chris who?
What seasoning can you substitute for sage. By wife can not stand the flavor.
Why does ATK & Cook's Country NEVER use RED Onions ?
Who knew Bridget could sing?
Want pan do you use
Where's the link to buy the best kitchen timer?
Looking for a good recipe for Grapefruit Meringue Pie.
Real southerners, one of which I am, eat the back and the wings with the rest of the chicken. "The meat is always sweetest next to the bone." "Waste not, want not." We eat it all. Real stock is made from the strained juices of a stewed chicken. Eat the chicken, use the stock. No "cooking school" mentality in the South.
Joe Scoggins real southerners can take a flying fuck at a rolling donut. Nobody cares, vein cheese.
She did say she liked to eat the wings but she was saving parts for broth. Nothing wrong with that as she is in a show where they would do that. Doesn't change what you can do at home.
the timers section missed an important part of timer choice, how long does the alarm sound? less than a minute and it's of no use.
Is it me or does the pot looks different (shape) between 5:10 and 5:12?
I'm definitely gonna try the smothered chicken 😋 and if I need a timer I'll just ask Google 😅
I'm sorry to say (but feel I should) that I am very unsatisfied with my Savesealer. My little vacuum broke after 10 uses. I WAS using it properly, but the plastic dome has to be tight, which makes it difficult to remove for cleaning, and when the plastic dome broke (I don't even know what actually broke - I just know it became loose) the motor wouldn't work. ALSO, the bags are too solid and stiff. It's awkward to get the food in there. ALSO, it isn't made to hold liquids (which is what I usually want to freeze - sauces). FINALLY, they still have not replaced or refunded our purchase which was purchased 2 months ago. Very unsatisffactory!
Has anyone used their microwave as a timer?
