if that chicken was a woman would you
marry it mm-hmm-hmm yeah
just asking hello you lovely people it’s
me and general and we’re gonna cook a
beautiful dish chicken in milk this is a
massive massive recipe on Jamie Oliver
calm I did it in this book
happy days of The Naked Chef a long time
ago we’re gonna have some fun with it
this is gonna be a whole bird with lemon
sage garlic and we’re gonna cook it in
milk when you put lemon in milk if we
split into little curd don’t be under
the illusion that this chicken is
anything like one you’ve ever read
before this is something completely so
the first stage of this little journey
you get a whole bird rub it up with salt
and pepper yeah
leave it leave it to really season the
outside of the chicken get a nice pan
that snugly fit this bird and this way
it’s gonna be moist you’re in and it’s
just gonna gently beautifully cook it
I’m gonna take butter as soon as you add
the butter is gonna start caramelizing
we want to get color on the chicken and
when it looks like the butters burn we
pour it all out of the pan and we put a
fresh one in it’s gonna be really really
good okay so that’s colouring up nicely
I’ve got the sage leaves picked here
we’ve got our little friend mr. cinnamon
a whole bulb of garlic goes some people
might think that’s a lot absolutely not
leave them in the paper and just give
them a little spank that just cracks it
by keeping it in the skin you get much
sweeter flavor so it’s not gonna be pong
a garlicky it’s gonna be gentle and
sweet and gorgeous and the other thing
is the lemons I’m just gonna take the
so that’s burnt butter right we are
gonna get rid of that we don’t have to
clean the pan out because there’s
actually sticky goodness on the bottom
of that pan so then we’ll go fresh
butter sweetness and that’s actually
that the key we want that sweetness to
really cook into the chicken let’s try
it lastly that’s karma excite and in it
you can see we’re getting good color now
we’re gonna take this out again we’ve
got burned butter again some of you
might feel that this is wasteful it’s
not really wasteful you don’t do this
process
very often but you’ll get in a unique
flavor from doing this so let’s just
turn that heat down go in with the last
knob of butter
the cinnamon we’re gonna go in with the
lemon zest then the garlic and that’s
gonna fry and the flavor is gonna be
phenomenal and then this frumpy old herb
called sage the minute that that hits
the chicken fat the sticky goodness in
the bottom the lemon the garlic the
cinnamon the fat is gonna completely
transform this is a really incredible
flavor combination seasoning goes in
pepper goes in then just when we feel
that we’ve got a nice bit of frying
action happening then we break it oh yes
with milk so there we go
then we go back in with the chicken add
a squeeze of lemon
dog demo squeeze a lemon listener and
that will split the milk so what you’re
gonna get and observe from this is like
little delicate curds of cheese and then
the way splits out and kind of gets all
the sticky bits off the bottom of the
pan and out the chicken so you get kind
of like milky gravy and then curds of
cheese and then you’re gonna get
something really really special so in an
oven 180 degrees Celsius which is 350
degrees Fahrenheit and we will cook this
for about an hour and a half and I’ll
turn it a couple of times so an hour and
a half is past and in that time
Gennaro’s made a little mashed potato
we’ve blanched off and steamed some
Swiss chard some Brooklyn spinach and
now for the PS the resistance oh yes
this is look in here guys there’s almost
like homemade ricotta here and it’s just
phenomenal serious flavor traditionally
you would use polenta but we’re going to
use mashed potatoes look at that really
special I’m gonna put the greens on this
is what it’s all about I’ll just put
this over the top and when you get the
curds from the milk it’s a phenomenal
thing something a bit different that
little hint of spice from the cinema
is spectacular autumn on top yeah and
that’s it
chicken cooked in milk lemon sage garlic
mashed potato something really really
special so shall we shall we oh my god
that juice is delicious in it and the
cinnamon subtle and a garlic with a
mashed potato with a juice I like it I love it
