This is EXACTLY what Ive been looking ..... the underlying principles of a sauce, not a follow along. See those 5 steps, makes so much more sense! Great video!
1:16 While the flour does stabilize the emulsion, it is not an emulsifier in that it doesnt actually suspend droplets of oil but it does thicken the liquid which makes the liquid and fat separate much slower. The technique itself looks great though and im sure its delicious no matter what you call the flour!
@@CharlieAndersonCooking Yeah, and I think maybe what we would call the flour is a binder? Or maybe that's just for baking. Yeah you added acidic, so that's the emulsifier? Now I want to go look at these terms back up cuz I forgotten them lol. Must be nerve-wracking to make cooking videos. Thank you for this wonderful video and I subscribed!
I mean if your sauces taste bad, you are probably just burning the meat or the seasonings on the meat by using too high of a heat. Or just leaving the pan on high heat after cooking the meat and before prepping the bits for the sauce. So when you are releasing the fonde into the sauce it mainly has the bitterness of burnt food in it. After all it's hard to make fonde, aromats, stock and butter taste bad otherwise.
@FlamingFalconMan thank you for your advise buddy. Yes you were right, made a few sauces now and all have turned out lovely. Doing a tuscon chicken sauce this evening. Lush
@@pathologicaldoubt In Indian cooking, westerners call the sauce a curry, the Indians just call it a gravy. Same dog, different name I guess. Fancy restaurant kitchens have a person known as a "Saucier", "gravier" just doesn't have the same ring. Not that I'm an expert
just made this. added garlic too soon so the first sauce try was burnt but i refired and man it is SO GOOD! I can only imagine if i hadn't messed up the first time and got that flavor from the chicken i cooked at first too. Thank you!!!
Have used this a few times since I found the video when I was just trying to see if there were any pan sauces that happened to not have alcohol in it, only because I just don’t have some reliably on hand. Great vid, and have been practicing this technique mostly with pork and an orange juice pan sauce, but hope to do more variations in the future. Thanks and good luck with the vids and recipes!
even if you use wine, you boil it down so there will be no alcohol in it, alcohol boils at around 78.37C and water boils at 100C, so once its been simmered down there shouldnt be alcohol in it.
I'm glad you found it helpful! By the way, I realized that I hadn't put the ingredients in the video description, so I've added them now in case you want to give any of these a try.
"diced apples for example" that almost slipped by me but what a great tip. Equal parts fo wine and stock, another great tip. What I dont get is why unsalted butter if you are going to add salt anyway? Is it like the special K breakfast? Orange juice, black coffee and special K. Why black coffee if you are just going to drown your Special K in milk?
I believe you use unsalted butter so you can better control the saltiness of the food yourself. But if using salted butter doesn't make it too salty then there's no fault in using it.
Cooking is an art, and I paint with few brushes. I use salted butter in every recipe that calls for unsalted butter. I'm not buying multiple kinds of butter in this economy 😂 As for the health aspect, I'm here for a good time not a long time!
Also in some countries the default butter is unsalted one, it's the one that everyone buys. In the earlier times, when you bought the butter off people who made it quite recently, maybe it was the default too. Maybe this affects the recipe books and chef practices.
I could've used this last weekend when I did almost this exact thing but minus a few steps. I'm not saying it was bad but it certainly wasn't what I was looking for. This was much appreciated, thanks!
just discovered your channel (well, first your old main channel, but then I realized that you moved channels, which is a smart move imo, because on the one hand the community on the first channel seems to be really interested in all the 'dough stuff' and on the other hand the algorithm didnt seem to love your old channel?! The quality of your content fits more to a channel with ~200-600k subsribers and not 70k) and I wanted to say that your videos are awesome and I truly think that you will become one of the bigger food channels in the future! I'm a big Kenji fan (but I also watch some other youtubers of this segment, like Not Another Cooking Show, Brian Lagerstrom, Alex) and I love that you are referencing to Kenji here and there. Also it seems like youre good at picking the highest quality information that is out there, I think in the cooking universe its sometimes hard to select which methods/recipes, etc are actually the best. That's why I love Kenji for his work in the food lab and for serious eats. Keep it up! Im sure the algorithm will play along soon. Greetings from germany
Hey, I really appreciate that!! Yeah I sort of started this channel as an experiment because I had a theory that my non-bread videos were underperforming over there since that audience was mostly just interested in bread baking. And it turns out that I was right because the videos seem to be finding the right audience over here and performing much better.
1. Sear a piece of meat 2. Add shallots and salt - if desired, add flour. 3. Add other aromatics such as garlic or apples if desired. 4. Add acidic liquid - wine, juice, vermouth, vinegar to remove fond. Reduce 4-5 minutes. 5. Remove from heat. Add fresh herbs, citrus juice and butter.
sautéing shallots should be on low to medium. you want them translucent, not browned. they should be soft in the sauce, almost unnoticeable. when reducing sauce, you can go medium-high, but not too high to prevent over-reducing and/or burning the sauce.
Adding the salt to bring out the moisture: do you dab it up before seasoning? I presume this gets rids of the liquid and prevents the meat from being overseasoned?
Good idea for the gelatine in a store bought stock but gelatine rapidly loses it's power if heated above boiling, which is what you do right after in this recipe. Better to use cornstarch or just use a homemade stock no?
Great video! So hey quick question, if I don’t have any shallots, do you think onion (or read onion) are good substitutes or would you recommend some other vegetable?
Great recipe and formula. I would add that if you take those breasts out at 165F, they will be super dry after the carry-over cooking. Even at 155 F it only needs to retain that temp for just under 3 minutes to be safe. If you take it off at 155ish it will carry-over well into the safe zone.
The Dutch cooking book I have from the 1800s a sauce is pretty much just butter and often flour or even just bread crumbled with something that gives flavour. Of course there's more stuff like vinegar, wine and stock. Or eggs to bind it.
Yes it’s a Roux … In his famous 1651 cookbook François Pierre La Varenne wrote about a liaison de farine made with flour and lard, which he called “thickening of flower.” This mixture eventually became known as farine frit, or roux.
can i just use chicken bullion with hot/boiling water? i literally can't be arsed to make chicken stock every week... but ngl, i think i'll just come up with my own recipe based on y'alls recoms, i'd prolly use cream instead of butter as i think it'd give a better and creamier texture and also lighten the colour a bit
I use chicken bouillon powder mixed with hot water and it works fine. Cream would work as a substitute for butter. If you’re feeling decadent, use a bit of both.
Nah, you should add the butter between the shallots and flour to make a roux (once the flour is added). Cook the flour out for 2 mins. Now you have a thickener that will always work.
Making a roux is separate to mounting the sauce with cold butter. The flour he adds after the shallots works as an emulsifier much like a roux, so I’m not sure why you think this sauce would be any more unstable. Mounting the sauce with the butter gives it a particular glossy texture, which you won’t get from a roux. Watching back, he also does add butter just before the flour in his chicken breast pan sauce, effectively making a very small amount of roux. Again, that’s separate to mounting the sauce and is optional for that reason.
Modern Teflon coatings are perfectly safe when used properly. Don't use high heat and only use wooden or silicone utensils in it. It isn't as unsafe as you've been led to believe by a longshot. Teflon has been PFOA free since like the early 2010s. Keep it below 500f and you'll be perfectly ok. I still will almost always choose cast iron or stainless steel over Teflon though, it's just not that versatile in comparison
@@micahwatz1148 I agree 100%. But seriously don't be afraid of food cooked on Teflon, I wouldn't go out of my way to use nonstick cookware but it really is perfectly safe if used right. But like if I was at a friend's place and they whipped up some grub in one where the coating is all flaking off... Yeah at that point it's a solid no from me dawg.
You're right, I talked more about that in my brining video (th-cam.com/video/tJ9DVX561OE/w-d-xo.html) but I didn't realize it at the time I made this video. Personally, I prefer to cook my chicken to around 160ish these days. I find that the texture isn't as good if I go any lower than that, but of course everyones preferences will be different.
I actually made it before he did haha. This video was originally posted in late 2020. I’m currently moving all of my content from my old channel over to this one, hence why I’ve uploaded so many videos over the last few days.

I made this tonight. Using chicken thighs. My herbs were rosemary and thyme. I’m a competent cook, but this was one of the best meals I’ve ever made.
Short. Sweet. To the point. I like it.

You're right, thanks for that! I should have just said that the flour helps the rest of the ingredients stay emulsified.
Bruv. Wtf kind of way did you just temp that chicken? You were temping the pan.
@@CharlieAndersonCooking Yeah, and I think maybe what we would call the flour is a binder? Or maybe that's just for baking.

even if you use wine, you boil it down so there will be no alcohol in it, alcohol boils at around 78.37C and water boils at 100C, so once its been simmered down there shouldnt be alcohol in it.

Beautiful video. I never fully understood how to extract the flavor from the fond, now I do. Thanks :)
1. Sear a piece of meat

Great video Charlie! keep it up bro
i needed this video so BADLY. Thank you. the Gelatin is a new level.
thanks - always useful to be reminded
Plz elaborate on some details. When you reduce is it on medium, low or high heat? Same thing when you are sautéing your shallots
sautéing shallots should be on low to medium. you want them translucent, not browned. they should be soft in the sauce, almost unnoticeable. when reducing sauce, you can go medium-high, but not too high to prevent over-reducing and/or burning the sauce.

1- sear meat or veggies
2- add onion and starch or flour
3- add vinegar
4- boil til saucy. no fat dairy like cottage if 2 watery
Straight to the Food folder.
Looks delicious.
Great video! So hey quick question, if I don’t have any shallots, do you think onion (or read onion) are good substitutes or would you recommend some other vegetable?
Trying to up my home cooking game- great video! Just subscribed.
This is amazing. Thank you, I’m going to try to make a sauce with salmon fond 🤤😍
wow - was it good?
Could I substitute the flour with corn starch for a gluten free diet?
Yes, the sauce just won’t be as thick.
One tablespoon of flour will not kill you … but google “making roux with cornstarch”
That was great... thanks
Does it need the extra vinegar at the end when you've already incorporated acid from the wine?
Thanks for the video. I'll save this.
Nice one. What pan after you using for the chicken?
Ah you're right, I forgot to put it in the video description. It's a 12" All-Clad Stainless Steel Pan (amzn.to/3WXhIWN).
how do you get the sauce out of the pan? the sauce sticks really hard to my non-stick pan and won't come off.
The flour and fat is called a roux. It’s a thickening agent for sauces and stews. .
Thank you!! I was about to add a comment. It’s a foundational cooking technique.
This video is a game changer! Thank youuuuuuu
Thanks for your videos! love them!
Fantastic video. Thanks so much!
any difference between shallots and regular (red?) onions ?
Great recipe and formula. I would add that if you take those breasts out at 165F, they will be super dry after the carry-over cooking. Even at 155 F it only needs to retain that temp for just under 3 minutes to be safe. If you take it off at 155ish it will carry-over well into the safe zone.

Man I love simplicity, people complicate simple things so much😭
Super informative and fool proof! Thank you so much : )
Good knowledge thanks
More pan sauce recipes for steak pork chicken salmon
Thanks
Love this, thank you 😊
What kind of neutral oils do you use?
I hate onions/shallots, can I use onion powder instead?
Great, but staying a bit on a safe side regarding acid, in this kind of a sauce not so necessary since it can be overwhelming
Not to criticize, this is a real question: the acidity of the lemon juice doesn’t damage your cast iron in the last sauce?
Best to stick to stainless steel if you are planning a pan sauce.
Thx dude I will try this then tell you:)
Great video!!
flour keeps it nice as thick. dope thanks
When I do this with pork chops, I add diced apples with the shallots. Perfect every time.
Can we make it without chicken stock?
Loved the trick. 👍
very well put together video, but my god man 165 is way overcooked for that chicken!
165° is where chicken is safest to consume. It can be done lower, but it’s the standard internal temp.
So good!

Thankyou 😋
Never heard fond before ❤
Method of cooking is similar to making chicken piccata 😊
My pan sauce is always too salty. Any tips?
I always pull my chicken off at 160. I let it rest covered and it brings itself up to 165 or saves me from overcooking it
5:42 this is interesting
I want to turn French onion chips dip into a sauce lol. How?
For the wine sauce if we dont drink alcohol can we just use chicken stock only or is there anything else we can combine with the chicken stock?
Excellent. All I’d say is try to match the audio and the video - makes it more pleasing to follow.

Seems like so much butter for so little liquid, I know it’s not (everyone adds about that amount)
Agree!

1 and a half teaspoons of gelatin per store bought stock, but you dump the entire packet into about 2 cups of stock?? I am confusion

Non stick pan works great. Dont be a "mathipster" 😂
