    1 approx. 4 lb chicken
    1/2 lemon
    1 shallot (or chunk of onion)
    1 stick of rosemary (or other herb)
    1 lb red potatoes
    1 Russet potato
    1/2 stick of butter (or less)
    1/2 head of garlic
    1/2 cup of milk (or maybe a little more)
    1/2 cup of white wine (optional)
    4 cups of frozen peas
    water
    flour
    olive oil
    salt
    pepper
    garlic powder
    For the chicken, put some olive oil in a 10-inch skillet and put the chicken on top. Put in enough salt and pepper to coat the entire chicken, and smoosh the olive oil and seasoning around every surface of the chicken. If you have them, stick a chunk of lemon, a shallot or chunk of onion, and some rosemary (or other herb) into the cavity of the chicken.
    Get the oven pre-heating to 400 F (convection, if you have it). Turn a burner on medium under the pan and cook the bottom of the chicken for about 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to the oven. After about 30 minutes, sprinkle the breast with garlic powder and up the temperature to 425 F. Cook another 15 minutes or until the deepest part of the breast reads 160 F (or 165 if you need to be particularly cautious about food safety).
    For the gravy, remove the chicken from the pan to a plate after it's done roasting. If you don't want a ton of gravy, pour off some of the fat (possibly into the mashed potatoes). Turn heat on medium under the pan. Whisk enough flour into the fat to make a thick paste, and cook for a minute until it smells nutty. Deglaze with some water, stock, or white wine, and scrape all the fond from the bottom of the pan. Whisk in some more water or stock until it looks like a very loose sauce and simmer for about 10 minutes until it becomes thick and brown. You could chop up the shallot/onion from the chicken and throw that in, and you could squeeze in the lemon from the chicken if you like lemony gravy. When the gravy looks thick enough, test for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper or anything else you want. Then dilute with more water or stock, accounting for the fact that the gravy will thicken as it cools. Strain it if you don't want the chunks.
    For the potatoes, cut the red potatoes into even, big pieces for boiling. Don't peel them. Peel the Russet potato and cut it into slightly bigger pieces than the red potatoes, because the Russet cooks faster. Put the potatoes in a pot of water and boil until you can easily pierce them with a fork. While they're boiling, peel and chop the garlic. Drain the potatoes into a colander and return the empty pot to the heat. Put in a little butter, and fry the garlic until just golden. Put in the milk, get it hot, then put in the potatoes. Put in some of the excess chicken fat and/or as much butter as you want (I do half a stick), a big pinch of salt, then mash until everything is combined. Stir with a spoon (the masher is bad at mixing) and test for seasoning.
    For the peas, put the frozen peas into a microwave safe container, cover with water, and microwave until boiling. Strain, then stir in a little butter and salt.
    MY COOKING PHILOSOPHY: I don't like weighing or measuring things if I don't have to, and I don't like to be constantly checking a recipe as I cook. I don't care that volume is a bad way of measuring things - it's usually easier. I like for a recipe to get me in the ballpark, and then I like to eyeball and improvise the rest. If you're like me, my goal with these videos is to give you a sense of how the food should look and feel as you're cooking it, rather than give you a refined formula to reproduce.

    Q: Aren't red potatoes bad for mash? Don't they set up like library paste when they cool?
    A: Yes, if you only use red. But the mixture of the two types of starches you get by adding in a Russet (or any floury potato) fixes that problem. I like the red skins. Yukon potatoes are nice too, but where I live you can only buy those in giant bags.
    Q: What was the brown thing in the frozen peas?
    A: A little piece of stem. Not unusual. I took it out.
    Q: Why frozen peas?
    A: Good fresh peas are really hard to come by. They start losing their sweetness the second you pick them. I speak from experience; I used to grow them. The few times I've gotten fresh peas at the farmer's market, they've been starchy by the time I could eat them. Frozen peas are the greatest frozen vegetable. The farmers/processors are able to pick and freeze them at their peak of sweetness, and the flash freezing process they use really preserves the texture. The times in my life when I've had perfect fresh peas have been moments of divine inspiration, but they've also been few and far between.
    Q: Can you be more specific about why you didn't like the breast-side-down method?
    A: 1) It didn't cook the dark meat as much as I want, though it did a better job than standard roasting; 2) There wasn't nearly as much good fond, so the gravy was pale and bland; 3) The breast didn't have time to brown as much as I wanted; 4) It was kinda hard to know when to flip it, and the flip was kinda physically tricky. The breast stuck to the pan and the skin tore.
    Q: Why didn't you make Yorkshire pud?
    A: I'm willing to be proven wrong, mate, but I've eaten many yorkies in the U.K. and in my own kitchen, and I think they're overrated. I think the gravy is a higher use for that fat. But you do you!
    Q: Why did you let that lemon seed just drop into the gravy?
    A: Because I'm not fussy. Unless it's for a dessert or something, I never worry about catching the seeds. They haven't bothered me yet. But you do you.
    Q: I saw some pink flesh in your leg quarters. Are they undercooked?
    A: No, they're cooked to smithereens, which is how I like my dark meat. The flesh right around the hip joint will pretty much always be pink, even if you cook it to a really high temp, as I did. This is one of many reasons why color is an imperfect gauge of temperature in meat.
    Q: Why is your gravy pale?
    A: I wouldn't call it pale; I'd call it blonde, which is how I usually like poultry gravy. You could make yours more brown by cooking the roux for longer. Personally, I really dislike the flavor of brown roux. In the U.K., they're also fond of using additives to brown their gravy, such as a liquid caramel coloring they call "gravy browning." You could also use that, I guess!
    END NOTE: I really want to thank everyone for being so positive and supportive about my first sponsorship! Skillshare is a great company, they've been great to work with, and you'd be doing me and yourself a favor if you clicked on the link up top and got your two-month trial. I also want to thank my agent, Colin West, who is out there making a lot of things happen for me with his bad-ass Scottish accent. I put a lot of time and effort into these videos, and it's great to have my labors rewarded via good ol' fashioned commerce. As a long-time journalist, that's a very unusual experience for me!

    Adam, I LIKE that you cook slowly. I've only recently started watching your videos. As much as I love many other "foodtubers," you show cooking in a way that's not only delicious but approachable for home cooks. Not a ton of special ingredients that I'll only use once and leave to in the back of the pantry nor techniques that aren't easy to accomplish. I really enjoy watching others' ideas on how they "elevate" dishes, but in my kitchen at the end of the day, I want something easy and approachable where I don't feel like I have to rush. Thanks for sharing your recipes with us!

    I made this chicken tonight again (3 times so far) - and it is, bar none, the best best best way to simply roast a chicken. If you just follow Adam's directions you'll end up with a moist, tender, perfectly-cooked 3-4 pound chicken and yummy gravy! Whatever you serve with it, your chicken will be delicious. Since there are only two of us, I end up with enough leftovers (meat, gravy and the bony carcass) to make a simple "pot pie" with a biscuit top "crust". This recipe is absolute pure gold.

    After watching your videos, i got reaffirmed that i can try whatever i want, as long as it taste good to me. I don't want to impress people, i want to make good food for myself.
    Greetings from germany. I recommend you to all my friends that want to learn cooking. I got so many good tips from you, and it aligns perfectly with my style of cooking. No need to be snobish about anything, you just do what is the most efficent. Like me buying tons of meat of the store, freezing it, and then putting the frozen meat in a pan. It literaly taste amazing, but if you told snobs about it, they would say its worse because frozen. But they couldn't tell the difference in a blind study.

  • @greysson2933
    @greysson2933 5 лет назад +4

    So I tried this recipe this weekend, and came away with it having learnt a few things
    - less garlic is more. I only opted for 2 cloves for the potato pot, and even then think I probably scooped half of one out before adding the potatoes back in, and whilst the garlic taste worked well with the potatoes, think I could get away with just one. Looks like Adam's using over half a dozen, no idea how that can be withstood! Even though i think I maybe could ahve opted for an extra potato or two, if I'd stuck with two full cloves it would've been too powerful
    - similarly, less garlic on the chicken than I used is a good idea. Didn't even sprinkle much over it but apparently it's more potent than I'm used to.
    - potatoes don't need to be started once the chicken goes in - mine were boiled with plenty of time to spare, which left me wondering if they were cooling down too much over time (I've never made it before, so didn't know what to expect)
    - don't just trust that the veggies are cooked, man, taste them! Was in such a rush that I nearly brought them out when they'd still not softened properly
    - I absolutely suck at making gravy but, again, was my first time doing it myself. It was too thick (even though I tried to account for it thickening up by adding more and more water at the end) and had these orange globs that hung around at the bottom. Badly whisked flour that clumped up with the fond, I'd imagine.
    - the breast is tender, but it's stressful as hell.
    - use the bigger chopping board....the one I opted for was no good and juice went everywhere.
    I'm not great in the kitchen, which is probably why this stressed me out, but wow, did it ever. My respect for competent chefs increased after Sunday. Was so panicked at how I'd over-garliced things, undercooked the veg, messed with the gravy and potentially let things get cool that I could barely enjoy my meal by the end of it....still, might give it a shot another time.

    A great tip for keeping chicken/turkey warm is to wrap them in tinfoil right out of the oven and cover with some towels. The birds will cool down slowly as you make the gravy, potatoes and vegies. Jut have to make sure you open up the foil a couple time to pour in the juice from the bird like Adam did here.
