  • @testbenchdude
    @testbenchdude 2 года назад +5

    This is great. It's exactly what I do, except I like not trussing to give the wings and legs crispier skin, and I only use a chef's knife. I also like to separate (aka: break apart) the carcass prior to making stock with it. Might not matter much but it's what I've always done. But yeah, what a great guide for the poultry novice.
    Ever since I learned from my mom that you can make stock from the leftover bones, it's like a magic trick. On one hand, you get to have a delicious, roast chicken dinner (and leftovers!), but wait, there's more! I usually get about 5 quarts of stock out of a 6lb roaster. One quart goes right in the fridge and the rest go in the freezer. So simple, yet so wholesome and satisfying. Thanks Chef!

    • @Oberky
      @Oberky 2 года назад +7

      I'm with you here, the edits of this video were kind of awful.
      Instructional videos are not the time to be artsy with the camera angles and edits. I would have rather seen the complete cut from each angle than half the cut from one angle and the other half from another angle.
