Whole Chicken Pie – Finally, A Smashing Pie Amongst Bones

There’s a eatery upwardly the street that serves a whole chicken wrapped inward brioche, in addition to e'er since I saw it, I’ve wanted to create that video. I’ve never genuinely had it, since it’s $100, in addition to you lot bring to social club it a twenty-four lx minutes catamenia inward advance. I dearest chicken, but I intend I’ll salve my hundred dollar bills for to a greater extent than sensible things, similar lighting Cuban cigars.

Anyway, I was planning on doing a bread-wrapped bird, when I saw a photograph for what looked similar a pie crust wrapped chicken. Suddenly, I remembered doing something similar inward culinary school, except they made us telephone telephone the pie dough, “pate brisee,” for some reason, but same idea. That’s when plans changed, in addition to the brioche went goodbye bye.

When bread’s used, you lot unremarkably bring to peel the soft, flabby peel off earlier enjoying the meat, but that’s non equally large an resultant here. Pie crust doesn’t insulate nearly equally well, in addition to hence the peel gets cooked to a greater extent than thoroughly. This was real noticeable on the breasts, where the peel in addition to crust fused together into some kind of marvelous hybrid. The thicker peel some the thighs didn’t homecoming out quite equally well, but fifty-fifty if you lot create describe off the skin, the meat is moist, tender, in addition to real flavorful.

If you lot role a iii 1/2 pound chicken for this, in addition to hence the roasting/resting fourth dimension should function out, but if your aeroplane is larger, you’ll bring to add together to a greater extent than time, in addition to should likely role a thermometer to banking concern fit your work. By the way, this is a technique video, in addition to everything from the stuffing, to the pan sauce ingredients should move adapted to your tastes, but no affair what you lot use, I genuinely create promise you lot laissez passer on this a drive soon. Enjoy!
