Heston's Perfect Crispy Roast Chicken - part 1 - BBC

I started cooking this for our Xmas lunch and when I served it everyone said it was the best Easter chicken they ever tasted.

One more thing that will make it even better is to add ice to the brine water. Trick taken from the best Singapore chicken rice makers. He's got it 90% right.

Heston is the only chef where his cooking is broken down in parts because it takes too long.

Im not putting my chicken in my sink. Sorry not happening.

This is so ridiclious...

Its the year 2023 and my chicken is almost ready

wish I had my 4 minutes back

And this how you waste a lot of time for minimal returns, ladies and gentlemen.

I’m surprised he didn’t include the step of making the ice

I always test my hands in boiling water first before deciding what to cook my dinner at

Why is there so much hate by people who obviously can't cook? he's not making fast food but has mastered the art of roast chicken. Its all about preventing dryness and that's what he's showing.

I first watched this receipe 13 years ago I am still cooking the chicken

Wait, where’s the rest of it? Where’s the final product??

All of this really is unnecessary. Also, he re contaminated his hands when he turned the tap off again without using a paper towel or something.

TOO MUCH WORK!!!

This Chrispy roast chicken will be served to Anti christ by the turn of this Century....

use air fryer to get crispy skin and juicy yummy

Bloomintard needs to go into an insane asylum.

Jokes about the ridiculous time-consuming recipe aside, this method sprinkles bacteria all over the kitchen, even with careful handling!

Just to be clear... this is to prep the feed for the hen whose offspring you'll eventually cook and eat.

I tried this recipe with my class...now they've all graduated...they were 12 years old

The epitome of British cuisine. Neer the mere mention of an herb, spice, or species alium.

Is this a joke?

Heston really nailed in embodying the meme "I'm something of a scientist myself"

Put my chicken on expecting It on New Year’s Day now

Jokes aside I just find everything this man does is too pretentious and over the top. I know he's successful but it just feels like he's trying too hard

You are crazy! Could you complicate cooking a chicken any more?

What would happen if you tried to make Buffalo wings like this?

I stick chicken in the oven and bake , and is crispy and jucy .

Too much unnecessary steps to cook chicken smh

27-05-2023: He is still trying to cook this chicken.

The amount of water Heston used for that one chicken could save half Africa for a day

I feel like chicken tonight, like chicken tonight!

Even the chicken’s thinking “Just get on with it”

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Obviously not THIS chicken 🐓

Nut case.

He's joking surely. I stick mine in a roasting bag in the oven upside down....is delicious. Not 4 n half hours either.

I know the recipes are silly with the amount of stages. But this series was amazing at explaining why you should do certain things. It made me understand why to cook things a certain way rather than how to cook things a certain way.

Heston is the type of guy who spends 17 hours to make you a sandwich, but it's the best sandwich you'll ever have in your life.

'For a perfect roast chcken. Step 1. Buy 2 chickens.....'

Hilarious comments.

Each step has 20 stages……that’s 80 things to do……??

Technically the second stage in this system is bleaching that chicken-sink.

That chicken would've evolved into another species by the time Heston finishes cooking it

"We just need to change the water every 15 minutes."

Heston just casually being the the number one cause for the worlds drought problems to make but one crispy chicken.

The amount of water alone 😢

What was the second 30s dip in the boiling water for?

If the chicken had bacteria after the first dip, that bacteria is now in the ice bath water and will contaminate the chicken again in the ice bath after the second dip in the boiling water.

If the first dip in the boiling water killed all the bacteria in the chicken, then the second dip was unnecessary.

Either way, the second dip makes no difference whatsoever.
