    Thank you. This is the clearest, most detailed chicken carving instruction I've ever come across. Thank you for being specific in how to carve out the breast and how to deal with the middle part.

      Haha Dexter... It's amazing how easy it is and yet how I still see people tugging it off and creating a pulled chicken roast. Even just cutting the chicken breast into rings once carved makes it look so smart 😁

  • @dunegig
    @dunegig 7 ปีที่แล้ว +46

    As long as the internal temperature reaches 165 F / 74 C it is SAFE.
    Pinkness can be due to a lot of irrelevant factors:
    "The USDA further explains that even fully cooked poultry can sometimes show a pinkish tinge in the meat and juices. This is particularly true of young chickens whose bones and skin are still very permeable. Pigment in the bone marrow can color the surrounding tissue and make the bones themselves look very dark. Hemoglobin in the muscles can likewise react with air during cooking to give the meat a pinkish color even after cooking. The chicken's feed and whether it's been frozen can also affect the final color."

    I had a funny thought while watching this. If birds are leftover dinosaurs, then dinosaurs, at least some of them, might have been really tasty. Can you imagine Velociraptor on the table for Thanksgiving instead of Turkey? They are estimated to weigh between 15 to 33lbs... seems plausible...

    So many people here who haven't got the slightest clue about how a moist, well cooked chicken should look. You shouldn't be able to see muscle fibers and you shouldn't see dull grey bones. As long as the thickest part of the bird (The section where the leg meets the breast, down through the thigh) is up to temperature it is edible.

    Beautiful. Yup, I practice on large rotisserie chickens pretty much all year so have few to no issues with the Thanksgiving turkey. Of course there are some differences with a turkey. 1 - Carve out the wishbone first so it doesn't get damaged. 2 - Remove the thigh bones so everyone can have some dark meat. 3 - Split the wings.

    • @bonappetit
      @bonappetit  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Those red spots are proteins, not blood, and totally harmless. Chickens are very sensitive to their environment, and in warmer weather, they are much more likely to present more of those places, and a pink coloring through the dark meat.
      Judging doneness based on temperature is the most reliable practice. Hang ups on how things look rob people of so many great experiences.

      The carved carcass makes a great stock! Not as intense as from a raw chicken or browned bones but there is still so much flavor there. Brad got all the carcasses leftover from this video and froze them for our next round of house master stock. -Chris M
