Chicken in Milk?! | Jamie Oliver & Gennaro Contaldo


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
