#beggarschicken is a Chinese dish that uses #clay to encase and cook a whole chicken, after which it is cracked open with a mallet. I take things a step further by collecting my own dirt which I process into clay. 😅

Cooking a chicken is "amazing content"? I mean it was interesting and perhaps a bit unusual here but I wasn't amazed. If she had opened the clay and the chicken got up and ran out of the window I would be pretty amazed.

@BhappyD 5 лет назад

Creepycat The definition of the word amazing is subjective, what one person finds amazing may differ from someone else, and that’s ok. I personally thought that this video was amazing content. Not only was it unique and clearly made with a lot of hard, long, and tedious work and effort, but it also was educational for those who have never heard of this before. To me, it’s pretty amazing to see someone foraging and making their own clay from scratch via a process that took several days (as opposed to just buying it or not using it at all), as well as actually baking a chicken inside of it! Definitely something I’ve never seen, and I enjoyed being enlightened and educated on something I otherwise wouldn’t have known! 😊

@monsterhighstopmotion 5 лет назад

I assume the chicken keeps the moisture while cooking because the water can't escape since clay is impermeable, which would make the meat really tender. All that, paired with the 3 hours of cooking and the beautiful seasoning must make one delicious, tender and juicy chicken! Might try this recipe out!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="745">12:25</a> I thought the point of wrapping it with lotus leaves was so that you didn't have to use newspaper or plastic wrap

@smpalmer85 4 года назад

not only that but i wouldn't want to bake anything in newprint. ink dyes are pretty nasty. admittedly i doubt any significant amount is released, particularly given how none of it fumes with the clay covering. still... just why. if you need a steam barrier for the clay just use a paper towel or butcher paper layer.

@Lauziita21 4 года назад

I thought so too! That’s how you usually make tamales in Mexico (we use banana leaves instead of the lotus ones tho) and nothing goes through them if you know how to properly wrap things up.

@hanonondricek411 5 лет назад

I think the clay insulates it for a longer slower cooking time, and I suspect it is similar to sous-vide in texture and tenderness. I'm not sure if you can sous-vide a whole chicken though since it would probably take forever and be kind of ugly and raw looking. Yeah, a TON of work you wouldn't want to do unless you're having some sort of very special medieval dinner-party!

@SeaJay_Oceans 5 лет назад

I just went to harvest my own clay! After seeing you do this, I had to try. So now I am re-watching to male sure I got all the steps good. I go to say I was lucky, My clay was so nice and smooth with just a few rocks but plenty of clams and sand :)

Its the same principle as a Salt crust fish/chicken in french cuisine. The Salt/clay keeps all the moistures and steam inside the meat, so its juicy and all the flavors doesn't escape.

@kuhntzzz 4 года назад

It depends on how the newspaper is printed I think, still not sure how good it is to be eating paper but most newspapers are printed with vegetable ink so it should be fairly safe to eat I’m assuming. I line my birds cage with newspapers because if they end up chewing on it the ink won’t hurt them

@AnythingbutThi5 4 года назад

Well, the chicken is already well-packaged with the lotus leaves, so the newspaper shouldn’t have any affect on the chicken. But I’m not an expert by any means.

@caturdaynite7217 5 лет назад

Instead of harvesting my own clay, I've used a Romertopf French clay pot. It's glazed only on the inside of the pot. You have to soak the pot in water before you put the chicken in it. I've made some good chicken in that pot. I haven't done it in ages. It's just so much easier to buy a chicken already cooked for $8 during the week. But for a Sunday meal it's great. Appreciate all the effort this took. Great video as always.
