After scoring their house at an auction - “which is quite terrifying because you only get to see it once” - Johnnie and his wife, Bianca, an actress, embarked on a renovation project that involved extending the building and adding a second bedroom. But, above all else, the couple wanted the kitchen to be the “focal point” of the home. In our latest episode of Kitchen Stories, we discover how they achieved their goal.
Johnnie’s recipe for chicken, chips and herb aioli
For the herb aioli
Handful of herbs, ideally from your garden (Johnnie uses chives, fennel fronds, parsley)
250ml neutral oil
4 egg yolks
1 squeeze of half a lemon
1 drop of white-wine vinegar
1tbsp of Dijon mustard
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 pinch of sea salt.
For the chips
3kg good roasting potatoes
Oil and salt for cooking
For the chicken
½ chicken, deboned
Oil, butter, garlic and hard herbs, such as rosemary and thyme for cooking
For the brine
1kg water
30g salt
30g sugar
100g of olive (or caper brine if you have any)
Any citrus peels you have (optional)
Start with the aioli (you can do this a day or two in advance to get ahead if you wish). Chop the herbs as fine as possible and blend with a drizzle of oil. Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, garlic and salt and blitz in a blender until smooth. With the motor running, drip in the rest of the oil bit by bit to emulsify and thicken into a lovely aioli.
Next, make the chips. To make the best oven chips, start a day or two in advance. Boil the roasting potatoes whole with the skin on, until they are soft all the way through but not breaking apart. Then leave them to steam and fully cool before popping them in the fridge overnight. (This a good method for best roast potatoes too.)
The next day, cut the potatoes into chip size, you want them small enough to get crispy but they retain their shape. Heat the oven to 200 degrees Celcius, toss the chips in a good amount of oil and a generous amount of salt and then add them to the hot oven. They should take around 30 minutes to cook. Don’t overcrowd the tray so they have space to crisp up and keep an eye on them - turn them over a few times while cooking so each side gets crispy and turn the oven down a bit if they are going too fast.
Now, there are many ways to cook a chicken, but this is a nice method if you’re cooking for a few friends in a short time. Start by brining the half chicken. Get a container with a lid and put your deboned half chicken inside. Weigh out enough water to cover you half chicken in a container - the weight of the water will give you the amount of salt and sugar for the brine. I usually do a three per cent salt and sugar brine. The percentage is the amount of liquid - so for one litre of water, you will need 30g of salt and 30g of sugar. Add these to your water and whisk them in cold water, you don’t need to heat the water but just need to whisk it until it’s all dissolved. If using add a little glug of caper, olive brine or some leftover citrus peel. You can do this a day in advance and leave it in the fridge overnight.
When you are ready to go, take the chicken out of the brine, wash it off and pat dry. For a crispy skin, you want the chicken to be dry so be sure to remove the chicken a few hours early and then leave it uncovered in the fridge so it can dry out.
Now cook the chicken. Start with a cold pan and a good glug of oil. Season the skin and then add it to the pan skin side down. Use a medium heat, you want the skin to crisp up but not burn and the chicken to cook through gently. Once the skin is crisp, turn it over and add a bit of butter to the pan with some crushed garlic and hard herbs. Baste the skin with the melted infused butter. If you have a thermometer, you’re looking for an internal temperature of 70 degrees Celcius. You should need around 25 minutes cooking and 20 minutes resting to cook the whole thing. And if it’s looking cooked on the outside before the middle is finished, you can pop it in a low oven to finish it off. Make sure you rest it well; this is a really key part so don’t skip it. The chicken should be lovely and crispy but still tender and juicy once it’s fully rested. Baste it with the pan juices whilst it’s resting.
To serve, slice the chicken and spoon over any remaining resting juices. Put everything on the table, a nice bowl of the aioli, a big bowl of chips and a nice green salad for a perfect early summer supper for friends.

It might be narrow but not ‘tiny’ with a huge island, large fridge, double stove, and lots of prep space. Really love the dish, the garden and his use of home grown herbs
I concur. I live in NYC and this is not small
Sorry but too narrow for me, it could be claustrophobic my day by day.
He calls that a "small" kitchen! 😄
i was thinking the same thing, that is a very nice sized kitchen.
@@MTMF.london Tbf tho he might be comparing to a restaurant kitchen haha
That kitchen is bigger than most kitchen I've seen.
depends on which place you live.
I wouldn’t say it’s large, it’s medium I guess. If you count in the workplace for chopping etc it’s not really that large
Ok. Where is the tiny kitchen? :)
:D :D :D
Exactly that’s about 3 times bigger than my kitchen !
It's considered tiny for a pro
this episode was meant to be filmed in japan i guess? 😅
😂
This "TINY" kitchen can held my whole family of 4 living in it comfortable.
This was so wonderful and entertaining! As this is primarily a design account, I only wish we had heard a little bit more about his design choices for the kitchen remodel, which is beautiful and narrow but I wouldn’t describe as small for London ❤
This is the BEST pro chef home kitchen I’ve seen on YT (and I’ve been scoring it over a few years now), amazing practical kitchen + edible garden + outdoor dining… truly lovely! A lifestyle (accessible to real people) over a magazine spread just for looks. This is the real deal.
Could you please please ask Johnnie if he could walk us through his kitchen setup? I’d love to know where he puts his pots and pans, how/where he organizes his knives, spices, plates, etc.
I’d really love that, thank you!!!
we have very different concepts of sizes.
Wow! The way he's so relaxed while doing this is therapeutic. I would love to see a home tour!
Nice Kitchen, Garden ....and Food! What I liked about this was the fact that this was a professional chefs 'home kitchen' and it done the job with simplicity, without it being an 'ostentatious' over designed space.
now i want a series "The Modern Kitchen" where people just give us tours of the kitchen and show us how they use it
There’s so much wholesomeness in home food cooked from scratch 💚
What a wonderful kitchen, totally agree about good appliances. Talented chef and the garden is stunning! One of the best modern house videos
This is a well designed, lovely home and the cooking part was also entertaining and beautiful to watch! Thanks!
You need to have a cooking show! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
This is not a tiny kitchen! This is a big kitchen for Europe!
For the UK as well (they're a British channel)
I love all the design choices as someone who enjoys cooking: Stainless steel countertops against the wall paired with the slabs of engineered stone for the backsplash and the induction stove. This is the ideal set up for cooking and cleaning. The slab backsplash = no grout lines between tiles that are a pain to clean if things splatter. I assume it’s an engineered stone slab so that staining potential is also reduced. Stainless steel counter tops means nothing will stain/bleed in, the material can withstand high heat from setting down pots, pans, etc, and very easy to clean. Induction stoves when not in use are perfect “extended countertops”. If there wasn’t the marble island addition, these would be great choices for a small kitchen. I also love the warm tone additions from the cabinet hardware and wood to balance out how cold the kitchen would otherwise be. Beautiful and practical kitchen. Well done!
totally agree! I might use this combo myself in my future kitchen reno, super smart but still stylish and homey
+1 on the stainless steel counter tops. My parents have them since the 80s and they still look brand new, never damaged, and no grout or mess whatsoever.
At a nice gentle soul. Love his way of living. Attention to making the very most of his surroundings and enjoying some of the simpler pleasures of life. Lucky chap also to have such a lovely living space
Tiny!!? How is this tiny? The immense difference between the size of American and British homes never fails to amaze me
I mean, American homes are usually huge compared to British ones. Idk why they called this kitchen tiny though.
exactly, i was expecting a tiny cute kitchen to see how this chef can leverage it with his talent. But no, it is a huge kitchen in a luxury house with a big ass backyard ...
@@bingboyify Ikr? His kitchen is the size of my entire flat lol. Clearly they don't use the word "tiny" like the rest of us do.
@@bingboyify I guess it's all relative.
The Modern House YT channel is based in UK right?
Yeah! Love the kitchen ,and I respect that you call it tiny, so yummy to watch the food bring prepped, cooked. 😊
Love this! Just so much inspiration (the garden is amazing!), information and interesting stuff in such an easy to watch video - now I want chicken and chips :)❤
Loved watching and I think it's fab to use the garden produce for everyday cooking. Looks yummy.
Love everything!
Beautiful garden, beautiful kitchen, yummy food prepared with love.
Awesome! This highlights not only a "Modern House" tiny kitchen, it's also about a talented chef preparing a mouthwatering meal!
It’s just beautiful! He makes it look so easy. Would like to see the rest of the house.
I've been watching your videos for two days ❤😂 and I just love seeing how people live.. Is like getting to know them in a really intimato way
I love this series!
What a most enjoyable video, lovely garden, beautiful kitchen, likeable host, and a wonderful recipe to try, thank you so much, greetings from Fremantle, Western Australia...
Thank you for the recipe! I will try it at the next home party!
I wish we could have gotten more "inside" the kitchen. Drawers, knives, equipment, etc.
this has me so inspired to start growing herbs on my balcony. Can't wait to make a herb mayo from what I grew
Modern House you’re killing me….! killing ME! This is gorgeous 😊
I'm so intrigued by the broccoli flowers. I might have to attempt to plant a few plants!
Love the cookery features!
Simply Beautiful!
Great to see the induction cooktop !! Chefs need to lead the way.
This was a delightful video all round
It looked delicious!
That looks absolutely delicious!! I never knew one could eat broccoli flowers. As a Belgian I am intrigued by his mayonnaise and fries! Thank you for the recipe...I am going to make this over the weekend 😊
So calming❤
think they've got a skylight on this kitchen coz that lighting was *chef's kiss*. would have really loved to see more of the space
Thank you! Ш!
Super mellow video very calming.
awesome Johnnie!
Thanks for the potato tips. I’m going to try cooking them that way.
I now cook my chips in exactly the same way, great results ever time, thank you
What a beautifil kitchen (and garden)! Any chance you could share your source for the stainless nesting bowls?
@lanipaul1147 - thanks so much for watching! You can find good sets of these from EVOKK or Nobel, including versions with measurements on the inside.
This is lovely ❤
That looks delicious 😀
beautiful thank you
Can you please do a video showing us inside you kitchen cupboards & drawers?🤗😁
A well relaxed chef is great to see I cook my fries in the oven as well I love it I just need to work on new condiments.
I love this video! I would love to know where you got those wonderful lights on either side of the stove! I would love to have them in my American Farmhouse kitchen..... Thank you for this .... Now, I am so hungry!
This is perfect
Id really love to know where the island was purchased… it is such a great size!
You should have a look at tiny Parisian kitchens ☺
Hi from the Scottish Highlands. Love the fact you are a chef to trade.. Just a thought to run by regarding induction as a cooking medium..
I looked at this as a option and decided to go with a back up induction because of the "concerns of emf readings and the loud fan..
Have you put any thought into the concerns or would you make any changes..
Thank-you for a lovely video ..looking forward to seeing content in the future.. I trained in the Scottish Highlands myself...
I have only come across your channel today..
From my perspective it would be lovely to see or here your thoughts on the following subjects from a trained chefs perspective..
Pressure canning/ water bath preservation/vacuumed sealing and the YOUR thoughts on home freeze dryers for home use.. Kindness your way..
Lochness Scottish Highlands..
Miam miam ....when can I come for lunch or Dinner?😊
or some cooking Lessons ? Like your Kirchen and your Garden! Much❤from South of France, actually in Brittany
Much love
Do you have a link for the glassware? Thanks!
I envy whoever is sharing this meal with the chef.
I'll be right over!
Nice!
Awesome
I'm in love.
That no kitchen is bigger than some London flats 😂
Tiny? Greetings from my 28 sqm studio apt!
I want to know where that set of bowls is from 😢
what's the bgm for this video? It totally matches the vibe of his house
He says "Dalston kitchen" @0:17. Is Dalston a brand of kitchens cause when I google it doesn't come up as a result? Does anyone know?
I just want to know where you got the cast iron skillet with the metal handle?
@sonjaskygatlin - thanks so much for watching! The pan can be purchased here: www.nisbets.co.uk/amt-gastroguss-tossing-pan-240mm/ch088
it's actually bigger than my kitchen......I wish mine led straight to the garden
this stresses me out his kitchen size is so ideal it is not tiny at all
I love my Singapore made Ryker fridge 👍🤣😂😅😛😋😝😜🤪
This 'tiny' kitchen can comfortably accommodate 2-4 people working side by side. 😅. Jokes aside this is really nice design.
You can tell it's a pro chef's kitchen because that vent is serious stuff. it actually covers all the burners
Which induction range is that?
You should get rid of the nonstick frying pan. Time to learn how to use carbon steel. They work on induction cooktops too
Anyone know the brand of the stove/oven?
Smeg
Where can we find the recipes? 🙌🏻
I usually love watchinh the kitchen island but this one is bot my cup of tea. Space is limited so should have designed to do a L shape or alongated kitchen. 😅 For me, it looks like a fancy small japanese izakaya countertop restaurant.
Hi TMH. I’m just wondering where can I get the light blue coloured glasses?
@rdelacruz66 - thanks so much for watching. We're sorry to say that these are vintage!
❤
You could pressure cook the potatoes whole? Not in the water, in a ss bowl above the water - this would also stop the potatoes from absorbing water. Then chill them. Would save some time and better texture
Lovely Kitchen!. Where did you get your kitchen units from?.
@natashabailey6091 - thanks so much for watching! The units are from DIY Kitchens, but the handles were purchased separately from Corston Architectural Detail
@@themodernhouse_filmsThankyou!!!🤗😁
That's not a small kitchen, its 2-3x bigger than what 95% of humans have.
6:32 did anyone catch where he got the linen tablecloth and little jugs from? Sounded like he said ‘Lucet’ or something like that. Thank you :)
@pamelaherou - thanks so much for watching! You can purchase the tableware from The Sette: thesette.com/
I want to be this man's best friend!
This is bigger than a normal kitchen in europe
This "tiny kitchen" has at least 4x the square footage of my kitchen and 20x the amount of prep surface.
Any clue on the brand/name of the frying pan ?
@jakobgreiner2473 - thanks so much for watching! The pan can be purchased here: www.nisbets.co.uk/amt-gastroguss-tossing-pan-240mm/ch088
it could be great. he shares the recipe of the meal
" I like to cook simple things"... let's start with debone and brine the chicken first... mega simple!!!!!😀
I think the kitchen looks big because of the intention and strategy that went into planning its functionality not because it's actually not small. You'd be surprised how much design, placement, and colours can create the illusion of spaciousness.
lol no, it's objectively big.
What oven brand is that?
SMEG induction
@@Banziafy Thank you 🙏🏾
All kitchen from pro chefs use stainless steel countertops I swear
The blank wall is crying out for a giant mirror, surrounded by pictures of his garden, pictures of plants, pictures of ingredients and pictures of hands of chefs he knows at work. Just my 2 cents 😅😅 There is nothing like picking food from your own garden i don't know it's magic.
interesting to choose induction over gas...
It's not tiny at all. It's even 2 times bigger than my kitchen. Maybe it's called tiny for pro chef, right? Love the kitchen and the garden anyway.
This man: big ass kitchen with a huge backyard. Calls it "tiny".
Meanwhile, people living in the building behind his backyard: big ass brick wall right in front of their windows, so this man can have privacy...
You know he's just "cooking" beans on toast in that kitchen
