More videos from Mandy! She mentions ever little step so I feel confident in getting it right the first try. Love her confidence and all the new things I learned.
I like it, people are usually divorced from the idea that they are eating a living creature, when you prepare your food like this, and you get to know the anatomy, it makes it harder to ignore this reality. I am currently doing this recipe, and it makes you better understand, this is the ribcage i am breaking, this is the pelvis I am snipping which connects to the thigh and leg, much in the same way ours do. I am letting mine dry overnight, just did the prep work. I bet it will be delicious :D
I just made this for my family and it was so good we picked the bird clean and were gnawing on the bones like wild beasts. Since the chicken is rich and fatty, it went well with a simple slaw of apples and shallots spiked with fruit vinegar. This will be my new go-to for small get-togethers (when we're not dying of plague). Next time I think I might season the flesh side of the chicken with five spice and serve the meat Peking duck style with pancakes, scallions, cilantro, and hoisin sauce. Actually, I wonder how this technique would work with duck...
Beautifully explained. Beautifully executed. I have not roasted a whole chicken in the oven in 10 years. The top always looks and tastes great then there is the bottom half and it looks like an albino chicken. I have been spatchcocking chicken for those ten years now. And now you have to take it to a new level. Thanks not like I have anything else to do when I am at home. OH Wait. I forgot about the whole covid thing. Chicken for dinner tomorrow night. And BTW White pepper is the way to go on chickens.
When I roast a chicken or turkey, I cook it straight up...then I turn it upside down and roast more. The breasts get in the juice and the bottom gets roasted. I then flip the chicken 1 more time to recrisp the top. Comes out perfect everytime top and bottom.
I’m going to try this using all chicken thighs in a pan that just fits them so the fat will be good and deep. This reminded me of a couple of old Jacques Pepin recipes, one spatchcocked with mustard, soy, and herbs and finished in the oven, and the other all on the stove with thighs and a sautéed mushroom pan sauce garnish. Mandy’s, however, really does seem more like a “chicken fat fried chicken,” which must be crazy good. This technique also allows for a variety of flavor profiles. (Skin-on, boneless, Korean-style “fried chicken” thighs, anyone?) Also like the cold pan approach for rendering fat as chicken comes up to temp and cooks. If using chicken parts, easy to scale for just one or two people, and recipe is simple and quick enough for weeknights. Learned a lot from this video. Total keeper! Mahalo, Mandy!
Looks delicious. My mom would actually remove all the bones. Haven't seen this in years. She was a butcher, mad knife skills. She'd do this to Cornish hens as well. Saw a post saying duck. Omg so doing this with duck. Thank you
Bones add so much flavor, I think, and give some structure to the bird as you flip it which actually help it to lay flat. But you could totally de-bone it too.
@@pnourani I guess opinions differ. I went and read the Serious Eats article. And then I found this article by Alex Delany at Bon Appétit: www.bonappetit.com/story/bone-in-chicken-thighs-are-better I wonder if it is the difference between beef bones and chicken bones. I know that bird bones are more porous, so maybe the flavorful marrow can escape the bones without cracking them??
Intense, passionate and crisp in your delivery. Presentation and break-down level = very well done. You are a gifted teacher, keep up the great videos!
It's. Boneless chicken. Many thinks that's the civilized way to eat chicken unlike Colonel Sanders . She was been specific because there are many out there who do not even know how to crack an egg into a cup, let alone cook it.
Wow I’ve never seen anything like this! I arrogantly assumed you were merely spatchcocking the bird; but you went to a level I’ve never imagined. That skin was majestically crispy. Thanks for sharing!
Great video! Offering the explanation behind WHY certain techniques are used is really what makes this video great for home chefs, and the fork test roll at the beginning and end proves it!!
This was the most wackadoodle thing I've ever seen done to a chicken and it was BRILLIANT. Also, I want her to yell at me while I cook and turn me into HALF the chef she is. Loved this video.
Hi Mandy quick update ,after preparing the chicken I left it in the fridge for 6hrs as prescribed ,followed the frying procedure, my dear wife boys "ate it all with lunch today they said it's delicious and crispy" thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful recipe.greetings from the beautiful island of Trinidad and Tobago I will be looking forward for more fascinating recipes keep up the good works .
LOL.. I'm watching this thinking that it's a Saturday Night live skit about to get funny..but I am already laughing because it borders on the bizarre or macabre. IT's almost like a a horror film.. breaking every joint and removing a substantial amount bones and sinew....but I am invested until the end...I'm outta here if there is a test at the end..Best part was eating the chicken...I think that was the best tasting I have ever seen.
This is just amazing... second time I bought an already spatchcocked chicken but still spent twenty minutes spreading it out further and cutting out every bone. Just astounding. Bravo! Best chicken ever
I’m 80 years old and in love with my teacher. She did a amazing job of keeping me focused on the task at hand and building on the climax. Bravo my new friend.
She definitely seems to have her heart into her work and I do believe I'll make this one. And it would be a proud and humbling moment to have Chef John to view your video and leave a positive comment. Job well done, Mandy!
Today I attacked some chicken thighs from the freezer with the principles described in this video. Wow!!! I am never going to approach roast or grilled chicken in the same way ever again.

@@albertof950 @ 2:37, she says it just annoys the hell out of me...huh?...slow drivers on the left lane of the freeway annoys me...but the wish bone, no big deal...
I came to this channel solely for Sohla El-Waylly, and I’m falling in love with the other presenters on this channel! Definitely going to need more of Mandy’s content in my life 😊❤️
I actually moved my face a couple of inches away from the screen because I felt like she may hit me with a stick. “Are you listening??? I said NON STICK!!! Don’t make me say it again or there’ll be no soup for you.” Yes, my dear kitchen leader. Non stick only. But I do have this really nice stainless steel pan ... 😂
This is my second time following this tutorial. Honestly I can’t imagine making a whole chicken any other way now! Typing this with greasy fingers and a full belly😋 Thanks Mandy!
I am doing this with just chicken thighs--cleaned them all up, salted, white peppered, and sitting in my fridge to be made for lunch :) Making a couple extra for my dressing on Christmas day too! Edited to say that they were a hit! Super crispy without being hard.
Loved the techique and the thought process - very informative almost clinical. Very talented. Looks absolutely deeelish! Saw this vid in the AM now i have a dancing chicken seared in my brain!
@@emilyblade9676 no emily, you don't seem to see just how incredible an occurance this is. You told me to rewind a video on youtube that is fast forwarded. I have now become the centre of knowledge in the universe. Thank you again, i would be a frog in a pond if it were not for you.
@@williamtoft5765 You are mistaken again - the advise was just for you. Glad you are thanking me again. Was just a bit of advice as was stated in my last reply but you don't seem to be able grasp that.
I’ve made this today, with a smaller bird. To help all the skin adhere to the pan, instead of a semi open lid I used another smaller heavy pot sitting diectly over the chicken, like a press. It turned out beautifully, i was impressed both by the crispiness of the skin, and by the juiciness of the meat. Preparing the chicken was a bit tricky, but the instructions were super clear and useful. Smashing recipe, 10/10
Had a good laugh, reading the comments. This is my must try crispy chicken roast, did a pot roast recently, which was superb. Thanks a lot for this recipe, Mandy Lee.
I think about this video all the time. Not interested in making it because i dont cook much but her delivery is so different from most tv chefs its wonderful.
WOW! This looked so good, I decided to try it with the package of thighs I had in the fridge. I just took out all the bones, but seasoned and cooked it the same. IT. WAS. MIRACULOUS!!! Thank you.
Just made this, but using Jacques Pépin’s method of completely de-boning the bird instead of disconnecting all the bones like Mandy has done. I found it to be less work overall and easier to test for doneness and to eat. It was a treat!
This is a pretty old video and comment so you might not get it, but did the deboned chicken take less time to cook? Sounds like a better option for plating
Hey, @@Steinborn24! It probably did shave off a few minutes, but the cooking time was still in the same timeframe as what Mandy suggests. I followed her method closely aside from that. I will add that the bird is really flimsy and floppy at first, probably moreso than bone-in. But after the 20 minutes or so of cooking it becomes much more stiff and can still be flipped in one piece with a couple tongs.
@@BrandonArnold0 thanks. I've Mandy's method before and I've always thought why not just debone it? I'm making it this weeekend for some friends with a hot sauce made from my first batch of fermented chillies, so I'm glad to know deboning method works well. thanks.
I just came across this video and being from south Georgia fried chicken, of sorts, is a staple. I'm always looking for new ways to enjoy crispy 'fried' chicken and this is definitely a new favorite! Having no flour or egg of any kind and frying in it's own yummy goodness is awesome! I'm so happy how it turned out! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing technique! Much Love!
Psychologist: What do you see in this ink blot? Me: A completely spread-out, flattened bird in which every joint has been popped by brute force and every bone removed with a dangerously sharp blade. Psychologist: You are psychopath.
I have been hospitalized the entire month of December for a hip replacement complicated by Corona Virus and pneumonia. The first meal I prepared upon coming home and getting my stamina back was this recipe. It was not difficult and is now one of my all time favorite chicken dishes. The two must haves for the success of this dish is a very sharp knife and good quality large and small kitchen shears. Thank you Mandy Lee for making my first post COVID meal amazing. My wife loves it as well. My only criticism of this dish is that I can’t eat it five days a week!
her tone tells me that she's definitely had interactions with people who didn't listen to her the first 3 times she explained something and then blamed her when things went wrong. I know that feel x3. It only makes me want to make this recipe more because she really took the time to make sure we fully understood it--- and it looks delicious
She is so intense, in a refreshing way, like someone you can trust to do things right.
Fork don't lie.

You changed our LIVES. Made this tonight and we are never cooking a chicken another way, ever. Thank you!!!!!
At first, I thought you were just gonna spatchcock it.
Then it got morbid.
Then it got delicious.
This is magical
Morbid is exactly what I was thinking
😂😂😂
I like it, people are usually divorced from the idea that they are eating a living creature, when you prepare your food like this, and you get to know the anatomy, it makes it harder to ignore this reality.
I am currently doing this recipe, and it makes you better understand, this is the ribcage i am breaking, this is the pelvis I am snipping which connects to the thigh and leg, much in the same way ours do.
I am letting mine dry overnight, just did the prep work. I bet it will be delicious :D
Morticioners need to eat, too.
This was my legit chain of emotions.

@@RimasCulinaryAdventures thanks...I'm going to try this
You can slow it down and it's not exactly hard to follow as it is
i feel like i’m getting schooled by my mum on how to cook and this is not an energy I knew I still needed in my life.
I felt like one of my Hong Kong aunties was schooling me. The jade bangle reinforced the sentiment 😄

Gorgeous chicken skin. Making my mouth water.
The real beauty is absolutely no carbs. Love it. God bless you for sharing.
😎👍💜
Mandy you’re brilliant! This is amazing, I can’t wait to try it. Thank you!
Just made this, but using Jacques Pépin’s method of completely de-boning the bird instead of disconnecting all the bones like Mandy has done. I found it to be less work overall and easier to test for doneness and to eat. It was a treat!
Bones add flavor.
This is a pretty old video and comment so you might not get it, but did the deboned chicken take less time to cook? Sounds like a better option for plating
Hey, @@Steinborn24! It probably did shave off a few minutes, but the cooking time was still in the same timeframe as what Mandy suggests. I followed her method closely aside from that.
I will add that the bird is really flimsy and floppy at first, probably moreso than bone-in. But after the 20 minutes or so of cooking it becomes much more stiff and can still be flipped in one piece with a couple tongs.
@@BrandonArnold0 thanks. I've Mandy's method before and I've always thought why not just debone it? I'm making it this weeekend for some friends with a hot sauce made from my first batch of fermented chillies, so I'm glad to know deboning method works well. thanks.
@@Steinborn24 yum, should be an awesome dish and venue
I just came across this video and being from south Georgia fried chicken, of sorts, is a staple. I'm always looking for new ways to enjoy crispy 'fried' chicken and this is definitely a new favorite! Having no flour or egg of any kind and frying in it's own yummy goodness is awesome! I'm so happy how it turned out! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing technique! Much Love!
She yelled at me the whole time and I enjoyed every minute of it.
I own your beautiful and amazing cookbook "The Art of Escapism Cooking." Cannot wait to make this!
You yelled at me and I loved it. I remembered everything you said. (Non stick pan! Dry skin! Flat chicken!) You are beautifu!
KFC: We do chicken Right!
Mandy Lee: We do chicken Flat!
Psychologist: What do you see in this ink blot?
Me: A completely spread-out, flattened bird in which every joint has been popped by brute force and every bone removed with a dangerously sharp blade.
Psychologist: You are psychopath.
Doc: "you're psychopath!"
Me: "so!"
LMAO!!!!!
You dark genius, you
I have been hospitalized the entire month of December for a hip replacement complicated by Corona Virus and pneumonia. The first meal I prepared upon coming home and getting my stamina back was this recipe. It was not difficult and is now one of my all time favorite chicken dishes. The two must haves for the success of this dish is a very sharp knife and good quality large and small kitchen shears. Thank you Mandy Lee for making my first post COVID meal amazing. My wife loves it as well. My only criticism of this dish is that I can’t eat it five days a week!
That looks so delicious. I like how your instructions are detailed and complete for me. Very good camera work and editing. Excellent job 👍
P
her tone tells me that she's definitely had interactions with people who didn't listen to her the first 3 times she explained something and then blamed her when things went wrong. I know that feel x3. It only makes me want to make this recipe more because she really took the time to make sure we fully understood it--- and it looks delicious
Thankyou from northern Alberta Canada. This is a chicken game changer for me. Best video ever.
I tried this yesterday. Gotta improve my surgical skills. Lol! Thanks for the tips!!

I purchased a 4 dimensional chicken by mistake, can I still follow this recipe?
Sorry my friend, a Tesseract chicken can not be flattened or flipped!
🤣🤣🤣
Behave or she will whack you on the knuckles!
@@AnnabelleSooklal my knuckles are also four dimensional, they can't be whacked by a three dimensional object.
😂😂😂
What a thorough lesson. Thank you so much
2020: that's how you flatten the curve i mean the bird
That's a phrase I haven't heard in a while
😂😂😂
