Thomas Keller Roasted Chicken

No one warned me that Bourdain's stately but still gone's voice is narrating this. It's like hearing your favorite uncle's voice in the house just rooms away but still feeling the twinge of remoteness at not being able to hug him just yet.

As your average Joe Plumber, I have learned so much from so many talented chefs on Youtube. I never skip over a Thomas Keller video.

To temper my chicken, I talk sexy to it. It heats up perfectly every time.

I've roasted a chicken this way twice now and it's amazing. It's not dry inside, the skin is just crisp. It's simple because there's no reason for it to be complex. He doesn't use proper health code procedures because he doesn't need to for once and he's not serving this to a customer. I just (as in last night) tried a roast chicken recipe where the bird is covered in fat (I chose butter) prior to cooking. It was also started breast-side down and flipped over half-way. And it was also not quite as good as this video's results and I will be going back to Mr. Keller's recipe exclusively. 

Simple to do and I bet it tastes great! Thomas Keller is very experienced and one of my favourite chefs

I tend to forget this exists until I rewatch it once a year. Came for Keller; stayed for the porno music.

Best video yet on how to roast a chicken. Fantastic. The results speak for themselves.

I've been making it this way for years since I first saw this video. So easy and so good. Thanks!

The synth riff at the end is, yes, chef’s kiss

Even after several attempts, I cannot tie up the chicken as adeptly as Thomas can... but then again, I've always had trussed issues.

thank you thomas keller! This episode was hired awhile back. Our family has not bought roasted chicken from costco or anywhere for over a year! The meat is always juicy. Mouth watering every time.

love the music ... this guy's product even has a refreshing vision for how to pair the music with instructionals!

Man. Revisiting this video... In college, I would watch this video multiple times and buy multiple chickens to do trial runs on. When I perfected this method, that is when I would have a date over and prepare the meal in front of my date. I knew it was a hit when I tied the bird up nicely and my date was extremely curious.

I made this chicken tonight, absolutely the best and easiest recipe I have ever used. The only thing I did that he didn't do was check the temp with a thermometer. Even that was spot on.

Although you point out very good points, it's totally a different story when he's actually working during an actual dinner service. Since this is for a short TV segment, simple things like sanitation are pushed aside to portray the actual roasting technique. I can almost guarantee you if you watched him cook at his restaurant, his sanitation (as well as his staff's) would be close to impeccable.

Yes, this recipe has become a family favorite in my home. So simple, but so consistently tasty!!

This is zen master simple. I have roasted a duck without fat of course, but I never thought I could roast a chicken like that. I will try it tomorrow without fail. Thank you, sensei Thomas.

I never ever thought of cutting out the wish bone before! I like putting onion and herbs in the cavity as well. Loved his explanations.

I love this video, but look at the quality of the product he’s working with. You can see it in the texture and thickness of the skin. It’s absolutely amazing! Great video! Great technique! It works! Best chicken I’ve ever roasted!
