      I’m surprised Jamie hasn’t thought of a video concept that involves Ben constructing a very high quality sandwich for him go judge so he’s able to eat a delicious sandwich for lunch and make a living from it 😂😂 nothing gets between Jamie Spafford and a sandwich so I’m surprised that’s not become a channel staple yet 😂

      @@steveaustin2686 If you wrap it well, it should keep its own heat and at least be warm. Be careful not to wrap it too tightly, though, because the condensation might affect a crispy skin. Normally when I roast my chicken ( I normally spatchcock ), I let it rest uncovered for about 10 - 15 mins, and it's decent enough for me. The basic vibe is just so the breast doesn't lose all its juices and dry out.

    So I've cooked this dish twice now. The first time I followed the recipe fully, and whilst the texture of almost everything was wonderful, the lemon provided a sourness that just overpowered everything. I tried it again today but just omitted the lemon from the tray, still putting lemon in the cavity. This time it was wonderful. Both flavour and texture were there, and I found that the aroma of the fennel compensated for the absence of lemon in the tray.

    I’ve really enjoyed some of your recent Friday videos where you teach basic things. In that same mood, could you do a lessons episode where you resoundingly prove why it’s important to follow certain rules?
    for example, resting meat. what happens if you cook two identical cuts of steak on the same skillet for the same time, but you slice one portion immediately while letting the other portion rest. Would a blindfolded person even be able to tell one is tastier because it has rested?
    or overworking hamburger meat. or what happens if you dont let pasta dough chill. or you dont add a pinch of salt to cookie dough. or not salting pasta water - i’ve specifically been curious about this one because would you even notice the pasta hasn’t been brined if the pasta ends up getting coated in a delicious sauce?

    Inspired me to try roasting a chicken for the first time--I did the second recipe, mostly, but with just butter and rosemary (I meant to use salt too, but forgot) instead of the sauce. And I didn't have anything in mind for the spine, so I just set it next to the main bird. Came out absolutely delicious! The skin was crisp (especially on the spine!) and the meat was tender and juicy. I'll absolutely make this again.

    The first way I make probably once a month for my family. I can't wait to try the 2nd way! I know that they are going to love it. Thank you!!

    Spatchcock is how my friend does his turkeys. It’s so good and cooks much faster and evenly. Love it!

    Mike ate very well that day. I've cooked chicken (mostly chicken parts) over veg (potatoes, onions, kale) many times. It makes the veg taste amazing. Never mind the chicken (although that's really good too).

    We used to have a weekly gathering and a takeaway which got quite pricey. I used to buy a chicken and make a stew and dumplings. One of our friends would disappear and he would be in the kitchen eating from the pan. A compliment I guess.

    See, this is why we can have a roast turkey in late November then maybe another or a ham or goose on Christmas. We don’t often have roast dinner. At least where I grew up it was a treat

    I like the recipes! I always have trouble finding new ways to cook a whole chicken, it always end up the same way, roasted on a beer can with half the beer on the chicken itself, its nice with a new way of thinking when it comes to cooking whole chickens

    One note... Here in the States, thanks to our large amount of chicken production, at major supermarkets, it's usually quite a bit cheaper to buy a "whole chicken, cut up" - that's missing the back, neck, etc. It's a factor of how much chicken we process here.

    Mmmm that first chicken dish looks great, I'm stealing that one, adding a drop of white wine and some wholegrain mustard. The peri peri one I do regularly, my local Co-op does marinated spatchcocked chicken for £5, £2.50 in the use by sale section, comes in a tray, so I lift out the chicken, pop my veggies in, then using a homemade trivet (£1 bargain frying pan mesh cover with the handle cut off), pop the bird on top and an hour later it's savoury heaven!
