    This is an adaptation of a recipe by Chef John at Food Wishes. See his original vid and subscribe to his channel: • "Cheater" Chicken Demi...
    Here's my Christmas dinner recipe that uses this stuff: • Roast tenderloin with ...
    ***RECIPE***
    8-10 pounds chicken wings
    5-7 pounds beef shank and/or oxtail
    4 red onions, peeled and cut in half
    2-4 tablespoons tomato paste
    oil
    water
    ice cubes
    Preheat oven to 400 F / 200 C convection (or 425 without convection). Oil a large roasting tray and put in the chicken wings. Oil another roasting tray or a rimmed baking sheet and put in the beef and onions. Roast both trays for about 45 minutes.
    Remove the trays, and flip the beef and onions. Squeeze the tomato paste onto the chicken wings, and toss to coat them. Return the trays to the oven and roast them until everything is browned but not burned - about another 45 minutes.
    Dump all the food and any juices into a large stock pot - at least 12 quarts. If any fond as developed on the trays, dry to deglaze it with some water and a wooden spoon, and add that liquid to the pot. Pour enough water in the pot to just barely submerge the ingredients.
    Bring the pot to a bare simmer and hold it here for at least 12 hours, covered. Remove and discard the solids (no need to throughly strain at this stage), then bring the liquid to a boil and reduce the liquid by half, which should take about an hour. Transfer the liquid to a large bowl or other suitable container and add ice cubes until it's no longer hot.
    Cover and refrigerate until all of the fat has risen to the top and solidified - overnight at least. If the fat still isn't solid, you can put it int he freezer for about a half hour - that should do it. Scrape all of the solid fat off the top and discard.
    Return the liquid to the stock pot, bring to a boil, and reduce until it just achieves a syrupy consistency, stirring frequently once the liquid starts to get thick to keep it from burning. This could take up to two hours.
    Let the demi-glace cool for a moment, then ladle it into ice-cube trays. You should get 32-48 cubes. Freeze them then transfer to a freezer bag. 1-2 cubes can be used to flavor and thicken enough pan sauce for 1-2 people.

    Q: This seems like a lot of work. Can I just buy this somewhere?
    A: You'd think so, but I've never found one that tasted remotely like real demi-glace. Let me know if you do.
    Q: Could you simulate this stuff through some combination of gelatin, bouillon, mushrooms, soy sauce and some such?
    A: I am intrigued, and will be giving this a shot.
    Q: Could you do this faster with a pressure cooker / instapot?
    A: I suppose, but I'm not into pressure cookers. More trouble than they're worth, IMHO. The time issue here isn't an impediment for me, since it's totally unattended time.
    Q: Could you make this with chicken feet, instead of wings?
    A: I would imagine so, might even be better, and would probably be cheaper. Chicken feet are generally not available in mainstream U.S. grocery stores (EDIT: apparently they have them at Walmart, see below), but you can often find them in Latin or Asian groceries here.
    Q: How is it possible that the smells and fat could be so gross, and yet the liquid would taste good?
    A: Lots of volatile compounds leave food during cooking, and fat traps aromas. That's why if you put some cookies in a box with something strong-smelling like mint, all the cookies will taste minty. The butter traps the smell.
    Q: Did you steal this idea from Babish?
    A: No. As I said, I stole it from Chef John. It was news to me that Babish did a demi-glace recipe recently. I've had this on the books for a while. This demi-glace is a crucial ingredient in the Christmas dinner I usually make, which I have scheduled for next Thursday. It really shouldn't be surprising that recipe youtubers would often be making the same stuff, independent of each other. Nothing new under the sun.
    Q: Why did you post this a day late?
    A: Factors entirely outside my control. Sorry!

    Blanching the beef bones or oxtail prior to roasting them greatly reduces that terrible carcass smell. Also adding the aromatics while simmering the bones adds a lot of pleasant flavors and scents. I add things like I would in any other stock. Onion and skin, unpeeled carrots, celery with lots of leaves, parsley stems, dried porcinis, thyme, bay leaf, whole allspice, peppercorns maybe even a juniper berry or two.

      Yeah, anything you're going to put this in is probably going to benefit from those, so why not? And for those of us in the cold north where cooking outside is only really an option for two or three months of the year, being able to reduce that smell for indoor cooking would be a lifesaver.

      @@1queijocasdisagree. You can either use the ice cubes or find an alternative way to cool it down. Such as the ice bath, or just pouring into separate smaller containers. That's a lot of liquid and it won't cool down quick enough to be "safe". You can risk it, but it's really recommended to do something to cool it down rapidly (below 41° F within 2 hours)

The results were amazing, and now I have 18 cubes of delicious demi-glace in the freezer. Definitely worth the time, especially considering that there is very little hands-on time.

      A lot of what was previously thought of as throwaway cuts are becoming valuable after the home cooking revolution in the last few years. Wings are literally twice as expensive as they were a decade ago. Oxtail, leg, feet, etc. are more in demand than ever before. You can still find cheap-er cuts though, just depends on area as to which specific one it is.

    • @WeskerUmbrella4
      @WeskerUmbrella4 4 года назад +4

      Would this work, considering that he cooks this for 12 hours straight and then another 12 to reduce it?
      If the initial 12 hours is enough to literally cook the ingredients out of meat and bone, I surmise that veggies wouldn't survive this process as they are way more delicate than the stuff he put in. So this would actually need to have the veggies replaced a few times and then this means a watchful eye (and nose) every few hours - attended time to fish out the previous veggies and putting new ones in. And I think that the idea of this is that you should spend as little time as possible attending to it in the first half of the cook.

    DO NOT "speed chill" in the freezer. Unless you have a blast chiller made specifically for cooling things from hot temperatures, all you're going to do is transfer heat from the hot thing to the other stuff in your freezer, without an appreciable reduction in time for cooling the hot item. You'll also introduce a lot of condensation into the freezer, which isn't good for it.

    One of the things that makes this channel great is how unpretentious it is. So many cooking videos pop up in my recommended claiming "How to make the Perfect recipe X", "How to make REAL recipe Y", or "Recipe Z better than the restaurants". Adam just comes in, shows us realistic cooking that can easily be done at home and he is humble about it. He shows his mistakes and isn't so "straight laced" about everything. Cooking is flexible, you don't need exact measurements for most things. So much more appealing to me personally.
