Quite honestly, Frank Proto is my *favorite* chef-instructor on RUclips. His instructions are perfectly detailed _and_ he seems like a really nice guy.
@@magnuskallasthat concept is refereed as wet brine, you can dry brine and wet brine, literally add salt in water and let the chicken soak for an hour, or in your case milk or buttermilk etc.
I just made this. I also cleaned the kitchen after. My wife said thank you. That was the best chicken I’ve had. For the sauce I didn’t have shallots or garlic so made with white onions and Serrano peppers
I have watched a LOT of online cooking. I think this chef has one of the absolute best vibes and energies for teaching. The pacing is perfect the instructions are clear as possible.
All the guys in here proud and excited to make their significant others a special meal is so cute 😭😭😭 you guys are precious, keep setting the standard high gentleman, thank you.
Those little tips he threw in there like freebies: “ watch the bubble”, “the bouncy”, “check sauces thickness with spoon” are actually valuable tips that only master classed chef who has cooked a very long time can share. Yet he shared it, for free
This guy is such a great chef and communicator, he is so articulate in his teachings,everything he’s taught me has come out money! He is a one of the best chefs a lot of people don’t know about. My hidden culinary treasure !
Frank, you are one the best cookery teachers. You radiate calm and "you can do this", you explain the reason for everything you do and provide all the tips we'd need, and you make everyone know they can do it.
I just made this tonight and it was fabulous! Very easy to make. I'm not the best cook. I have to follow a recipe and watching him and listening to explanations of why he does things a certain way made this recipe turn out perfectly. Thank you!
This is one of the most helpful and easy-to-follow cooking videos I've watched. For years I've just been "winging it" when it came to frying ANYTHING. I guess my palate isn't picky but I've always wanted to be able to feed guests and I have never done that because I knew my cooking was only appropriate for only me. I am very busy these days with two jobs but I find myself playing around in the kitchen more; it's the only time I can relax. I'm already a grown adult but I'm just now realizing how very little I know about the basics of cooking in general. Tomorrow I'm going to try this and then dedicate a week or two to trying to make this as well as I can. Thank you again!
There is something about the way THIS Chef teaches that just “clicks”. I always say this to myself with every video of him I watch. Great job as always…💯
Handling raw chicken while touching everything like the pepper grinder without washing his hands. Very clear and concise instructions on how to cross contaminate everything 😂
Glad to hear a Chef say they love the flavor of parsley! Highly underated as a fresh herb that adds a bright herbiness to just about any savory dish without taking over with too much of it's own flavor.
@@moin6067 I’ve been watching a bunch of cooking videos and noticed the cooks use a lot more oil/ butter than I had been using. I started using more evoo and that crispy golden brown surface appeared.
I eat a very specific diet for a sport I’m involved in.. with that being said, I’ve been eating chicken & rice for MONTHS! And I’m finding it difficult to get the food down. Watched this tutorial a little begrudgingly, honestly. BUT WOW! Best chicken I’ve EVER made!!
I honestly love this its a really simple dish to understand the fundamentals of cooking chicken. Alot of people will criticize saying wheres the flavor or spices but they don't understand that not everything needs 20 spices especially if your having sides that can clash with your over seasoned chicken. Smh some people just wont understand
@@GothicTeaVeaWon't the paprika burn in the hot pan? Honestly I've always baked my chicken, so this recipe will be the first time I cook it on the stovetop 😬 I am not a chef, I'm a beginner trying to learn.
Frank is so helpful and knowledgeable! Always love seeing his cooking. I have always wondered how cooks let meat rest without it getting too cold to enjoy warm meat.
We love you, Frank. Super reassuring to see the chicken done almost as exactly as I've learned to over time, but that was such a clean walk through of a pan sauce - the bit I always mess up!
I'd say add the butter during the last minutes and turn the heat down or off. Because if the sauce is cooking hot you're just melting the butter into it, instead of emulsifying.
It's 9am and I'm starving already, looks simple and delicious! I love your videos because you detail technique and then explain the 'why' behind it. Context makes a difference!
Excellent! Just what I needed to know. Thank you, Chef Proto! Great video. I'm going to make this tonight with some lemon juice. For a richer sauce, I would add: mushrooms fried with the shallots, then a little Dijon mustard, white wine, a dash of cognac or brandy, and finish off with some heavy cream on low simmer. Then add to a roux.
Made this tonight. The chicken was super juicy and cooked perfectly. And that sauce was amazing. Didn’t have any lemons and only had dried parsley. But it still came out delicious. Poured the remaining sauce on top of some white rice I made. 10/10
Love all great tips and techniques throughout your videos like this. Not just picking up great recipes but gain inestimable knowledge to add one's overall cooking skill set! Great stuff
I like gently browning the chicken, then taking it out still raw. Then when I build a sauce, I can move the chicken back to braise in the sauce and become tender.
Wife is out of the country for six months. I've never been much of a cook. Your videos provide a novice like me with the detailed advice that most videos don't seem to cover. Thank you.
I stumbled upon this last night and tried it today. I forgot to pat the chicken so it wasn't very crispy but otherwise, it was perfect! Super soft and moist, I couldn't believe it. Thank you!! Edit: I only made the chicken for my daily lunchtime salad, not the sauce.
As soon as i started letting a thermometer tell me when it's done I stopped having dry chicken. No guessing, no feel, 150°F pull it off and it’ll 160° soon enough.
I have made this numerous times. The herb always changes depending what I have on hand but, the end result is always the same…delicious. My go to dinner when pressed for time. Make some green beans with sun dried tomatoes and almonds and diner is served.
After seeing this video I somehow could not forget it, and I had to make this recipe for my family on Sunday. They all went "Wow! Really delicious!" So tasty and juicy chicken, and every plate was licked clean of the sauce! Great recipe, and I agree with everyone in the comments who says that Frank is their favorite RUclips instructor :)
Never made a pan sauce before tonight and it came out awesome! Super easy instructions. My picky kids loved it too. I cook professionally and following his advice on cooking the chicken was super helpful and came out great. 10/10 would recommend
I really reccomend adding some sqeezed lime when adding the seasoning! My abuelta makes chicken with just salt, pepper, and lime when my abuelito has an upset stomach and it tastes great even when theres very few seasonings
Everything he does is spot-on! I've got a lot of experience making a chicken + pan sauce like this and I picked up some nice tips, like delaying the lemon juice to the end.
Finally learning to cook, I started off trying to make the salmon based on the video you made, and I made a perfect salmon fillet first time… for my dog. Have yet to replicate it for anyone, and every time I try I manage to find new ways to bungle it. Made this chicken first time and every time after that flawlessly. Got me actually looking forward to eating instead of buying takeout every other night like I have been up till now. Great instructional video, will 100% be referencing more of these as I expand my cooking skills
Just attempted this. Turned out amazing! I hate cooking and simple recipes like this is what keeps me in the kitchen. Thanks chef Proto! I just couldn't get the reduction quite as creamy. Mine remained watery as it boiled off... could be the chicken stock I used.
Oh, that looks delicious! And, Chef Frank, I'm with you on the flavour of parsley! I keep some in in a pot over the winter, and have it growing on my balcony all summer so I almost always have fresh on hand.
Mad Props and thank you to Chef Frank. The techniques he shows off so effortlessly in this video include the longer ways those of us who don't neccesarily have it all together can use to make something comparably close. Did my own iteration on this today and was blown away by how well it worked on the first try. I have to cheat and use a thermometer, but it turned out super. The pan sauce notes are enough by themselves to watch and try at least once. Again; thank you kind sir. Your sharing of knowledge enriches those of us who desire to try for ourselves.
Great tutorial. Wish the seasoning included more but might be more of a dish specific tutorial at that point that might require basting or understanding how to blacken seasoning without completely burning etc.
You don't need more seasoning with this. It's already bursting with plentiful flavors. You would be over complicating the dish and overloading your taste buds with too many competing flavors vying for attention. This dish is known as chicken piccata but he didn't use cappers here which is interesting. I cooked this for my family on my birthday and it was delicious.
@@luminatrixfanfictionthis isn’t chicken piccata so much as it is just chicken with pan sauce. The chicken needs to be slightly floured and the capers are really necessary for chicken piccata. Also, more seasonings don’t have to complicate it, just pick ones that compliment each other
@@TheMasterDeku Well it's mostly a chicken piccata because he used the butter and lemon even if he didn't flour it. But I digress, to put the analogy, tomatoes or tomatos...it's all the same.
Thank you so much. I love how you give such great advice about techniques and stuff that I can carry over to other dishes. You're a great teacher and very helpful. 😃
I was sitting here being irked about not getting any new information out of the video, but your comment is spot-on. Just because I knew it doesn't mean everyone did, and there's nothing wrong with the video itself.
Love this channel. Great video! Do you have one on which pots, pans etc are best to buy for certain types of cooking e.g. sauces, grilling meats and veg etc. I want to get some cooking essentials but I always seem to buy the worse pans etc and would like to avoid non-stick things with chemicals over them. Thank you!
In general all-clad stainless steel pots and pans are EXCELLENT and suitable for a variety of needs. Then for non-stick you can get an enameled pan for making things like eggs. For a cheaper option for stainless I love the cuisinart 3-ply stainless steel 5.5 quart pan and have used mine for years. If you're putting a pan on a grill you want it to be able to take a tremendous amount of heat safely, meaning probably use cast iron and definitely avoid nonstick.
Wow, the best instructor I've seen. I appreciate your straight, simple talk, and your directness. Not a lot of jibber jabber. Only key information. Will be trying this chicken, and I can't wait to watch your other videos. Thanks. You make this recipe seem doable.
I've been cooking it with salt and black pepper for 7+ years and I somewhat grew tired of its taste. But some time ago my wife started cooking it with rozmarine and some other staff and it really brought my attention again! Great video! Thx!
So many great tips and tricks in this video that will just make you a better/more efficient chef OVER TIME. And realizing what he’s saying are things you have already picked up/know is encouraging that one is making progress
This is nice. Thank you for including some very basic advice for the rookie cook. And I especially appreciate the pan sauce bit since I have never tried it before but certainly will try it now.
I like to do them in the oven so there's no need to cut it in half. Brown on one side on the stove, then pop the pan in the oven as soon as you flip it, roast for about 8 minutes, them rest in the pan and let residual heat finish it off.
This was one of the first cooking videos I watched. I can't believe how many of these tips got baked into my culinary instincts. You're an incredible teacher, Frank!
Take your butterfly chicken halves, toss in a ziplock bag with a bottle of Italian dressing overnight. Grill. This was the recipe for several restaurants I worked in. The vinegar/acid is key to juicy chicken, WAY better than straight chicken will ever be.
Tin foil could potentially overcook the chicken as steam gets trapped and also weaken the crust. Either the residual heat of the sauce or a warm plate will help you out! (Or just leaving it for no longer than 5 mins)
@@FunkSoulBrotherUK I don't know if this helps, but I let the wet ingredients sit for like 15-30 minutes at room temp to let the apple cider vinegar do its thing. The baking powder/soda help counteract the tanginess.
Excellent video and great job of explaining the how and the why of the techniques that he uses. Very helpful. I am a little concerned that the same hands that are handling the raw chicken are going into the salt bowl, contaminating the salt in the bowl. Perhaps hand washing was edited out of the video, if not, using the same salt to season the completed pan sauce is problematic.
Everything turned out superb.....except I can't handle the chicken being cold after resting. I placed my resting tray dead in the middle of all the side warming, yet it just gets cold. It taste phenomenal with the sauce yet cool or cold. Please advise :)
This more than a recipe it's more of educational cooking tutorial video lot of valuable cooking tips in the video felt like at culinary school with this video 👍👍
What an amazing video! I learned quite a few things thank you. I am just a novice but I add paprika to the chicken for a gorgeous red color and it doesn’t burn like oregano or thyme.
I usually do a marinade with oil, lime juice, cayenne, smoked paprika, garlic, oregano and, of course, salt and pepper. I'm thinking about how I can adapt that into a pan sauce.
Could also try dividing the marinade ingredients between the chicken and the sauce. Oil, paprika, salt and pepper for the chicken. For the pan sauce sweat off garlic, oregano and shallots/scallions (optional cheeky bonus), hit it with cayenne and chicken stock, reduce and finish with lime. Butter at the end is always an option just depends on how you want the end product to taste/feel.
Quite honestly, Frank Proto is my *favorite* chef-instructor on RUclips. His instructions are perfectly detailed _and_ he seems like a really nice guy.
100% agree

I stop and watch his videos for those reasons too!
For me, it's not so much the detail, but the why. Frank talks about what he's thinking about while cooking and why he's doing what he's doing.
@@brian-px1bb That’s a better characterization. The “why” is actually what I meant. Thanks! 👍
Frank you've changed my life. I just cooked the most tender chicken ever, after only being able to make stringy overcooked garbage chicken. Thank you.
It might be tad bit unorthodox, but I've noticed some marinating in milk can make the taste juicier, creamier. Also milk can help creating the crust.
@@magnuskallasthat concept is refereed as wet brine, you can dry brine and wet brine, literally add salt in water and let the chicken soak for an hour, or in your case milk or buttermilk etc.

If you're putting a pan on a grill you want it to be able to take a tremendous amount of heat safely, meaning probably use cast iron and definitely avoid nonstick.
Stainless steel is a great all around pan, but things will stick if not heated correctly. I love carbon steel myself
Wow, the best instructor I've seen. I appreciate your straight, simple talk, and your directness. Not a lot of jibber jabber. Only key information. Will be trying this chicken, and I can't wait to watch your other videos. Thanks. You make this recipe seem doable.
I've been cooking it with salt and black pepper for 7+ years and I somewhat grew tired of its taste. But some time ago my wife started cooking it with rozmarine and some other staff and it really brought my attention again! Great video! Thx!
I’ve never seen someone that detailed in explaining proper cooking, perfect 101 instructions, hats off chef! 🫡
I really appreciate how clearly Frank communicates. What a great teacher, thanks chef!
So many great tips and tricks in this video that will just make you a better/more efficient chef OVER TIME. And realizing what he’s saying are things you have already picked up/know is encouraging that one is making progress
This is nice. Thank you for including some very basic advice for the rookie cook. And I especially appreciate the pan sauce bit since I have never tried it before but certainly will try it now.
One of the best chicken saute tutorials I've ever seen. Bravo 🎉
Chef Proto does a great job in sharing his techniques! Simple, direct and pack with flavor!
I like to do them in the oven so there's no need to cut it in half. Brown on one side on the stove, then pop the pan in the oven as soon as you flip it, roast for about 8 minutes, them rest in the pan and let residual heat finish it off.
Frank always knows how to make me hungry! Always loved seeing his insightful cooking methods on channel as well!
Frank - great as always. Is that really a saute pan? The curved sides make me think otherwise?
I made this today and it's phenomenal. That sauce is 🤯
My takeaway was "don't crowd Japan"
Great instruction. Clear articulate and to the point. No schtick. Excellent.
As always, Frank comes through with tasty ideas.
I LOVED THE RECIPE. JUST SALT AND PEPPER! AMAZING
This was one of the first cooking videos I watched. I can't believe how many of these tips got baked into my culinary instincts. You're an incredible teacher, Frank!
This dude is an awesome instructor - laying out practical tips the whole way through & explaining why they're useful.
Take your butterfly chicken halves, toss in a ziplock bag with a bottle of Italian dressing overnight. Grill. This was the recipe for several restaurants I worked in. The vinegar/acid is key to juicy chicken, WAY better than straight chicken will ever be.
I really appreciated all of the detailed explanations as to why you do things and not just rushing through a demo
He rests it for 10 minutes. Ain't it cold at that time? Does he reheat? If yes how?
Meat retains temperature for quite a while. But those were quite thin pieces of chicken to leave for that amount of time
Preach brother, they be making up ish on mama
Wrap it in tin foil, keeps it warm for a while
Tin foil could potentially overcook the chicken as steam gets trapped and also weaken the crust. Either the residual heat of the sauce or a warm plate will help you out! (Or just leaving it for no longer than 5 mins)
I like this guy. I've made his pancake recipe about 4 times now and it's a big hit :)
I still haven’t able to nail the pancake recipe but will trying. Another great video
@@FunkSoulBrotherUK I don't know if this helps, but I let the wet ingredients sit for like 15-30 minutes at room temp to let the apple cider vinegar do its thing. The baking powder/soda help counteract the tanginess.
Excellent video and great job of explaining the how and the why of the techniques that he uses. Very helpful. I am a little concerned that the same hands that are handling the raw chicken are going into the salt bowl, contaminating the salt in the bowl. Perhaps hand washing was edited out of the video, if not, using the same salt to season the completed pan sauce is problematic.
First time I've seen this guy but that is one of the best step by step cooking video I've seen!
5:03 oh ok, that's what my mom has, chef hands
Everything turned out superb.....except I can't handle the chicken being cold after resting. I placed my resting tray dead in the middle of all the side warming, yet it just gets cold. It taste phenomenal with the sauce yet cool or cold. Please advise :)
Excellent teaching skills, Chef.
This more than a recipe it's more of educational cooking tutorial video lot of valuable cooking tips in the video felt like at culinary school with this video 👍👍
What an amazing video! I learned quite a few things thank you. I am just a novice but I add paprika to the chicken for a gorgeous red color and it doesn’t burn like oregano or thyme.
I usually do a marinade with oil, lime juice, cayenne, smoked paprika, garlic, oregano and, of course, salt and pepper. I'm thinking about how I can adapt that into a pan sauce.
Oil for searing, then the rest along with a bit of chicken stock for deglazing, and some butter to emulsify at the end.
@@seijiroukikuoka5975 I like to use mushroom stock instead of chicken stock
@@margakat works just as great!
Could also try dividing the marinade ingredients between the chicken and the sauce. Oil, paprika, salt and pepper for the chicken. For the pan sauce sweat off garlic, oregano and shallots/scallions (optional cheeky bonus), hit it with cayenne and chicken stock, reduce and finish with lime. Butter at the end is always an option just depends on how you want the end product to taste/feel.
@@All7777Fever Unless one is allergic, butter is almost nonnegotiable. The emulsification effect is a necessity.
