Love roasted chicken? Get crispier skin and perfect meat with this nontraditional trussing technique: chfstps.co/1KL6kn9
A perfectly roasted chicken is the key to weeknight dinner glory: crispy skin, juicy meat, a beautiful golden-brown color. And while roasting chicken is simple in theory, pitfalls do arise. Sections of the skin get soggy and fail to brown, for instance. The breasts often cook faster than the legs, so that by the time the dark meat is cooked through, the white stuff's all dry. We don't want this to happen to you, which is why we're sharing this new approach to trussing your bird. As you may know, "trussing" a chicken means tying it with butcher's twine. Cooks have done this for years to make the bird easier to handle and to help it cook better. But, as we'll show you, the traditional technique for trussing isn't necessarily the best way. Give this new technique a go tonight, and you'll wind up pretty dang pleased at the way dinner turns out. (PSST: It works for turkey, too!) Get the technique: chfstps.co/1KL6kn9

I’ve trussed chickens for about 35 years à la Julia Childs and then came across this video about a year ago and it’s easier, the chicken cooks more evenly and there’s more crispy skin to eat. Yum!

Did this today to do a rotisserie bird in my vortex air fryer. Took many tries with hubby rewinding several times till I got it right. Then after all that the legs stuck out too far so I just tied them at the ankles to let the bar inside the chicken reach the rotisserie notch. Next time I'll know to insert the bar differently. It is browning evenly and smells delicious...can't wait to dig into this juicy bird!!

This looks like a great method. I'm eager to try it out! About the video: As someone who is a rank amateur cook and, shall we say, "spatially challenged," I had a couple of problems with it. The problem I had is the angle, looking at the bird from the front while I try to truss from behind. Shooting from in front is the easiest angle for you to film but it isn't the best for the viewer. As much as possible, I need to see what you're seeing, or to put it another way, I need the video to show what I'M seeing. Which means filming from behind you, over the shoulder, probably a higher angle than your head but that's likely as close as we'll come to your (and my) point of view. I'd also start with how much string is needed--I underestimated based on what traditional trussing requires and had to start over. And, the music doesn't help comprehension. I did eventually get my chicken trussed and, as I say, I look forward to seeing the results this evening. Thanks!
@johndavis7944
@johndavis7944 Год назад
Excellent point! Yes you're absolutely right. Try the reverse view method by placing a suitable size mirror in front of your screen and watch it backwards as if you're reversing a car through the mirrors. As for the length of string count how many times it goes around the chicken lengthwise and back in the video, do this with your bird. I reckon about a metre 🤔 and a bit should be enough! Better have more than less needed.

I've always had the same problem. I'd been doing Gordon Ramsay's technique for many years before discovering this technique and I have to pull up the video every time and watch it Step by Step as I'm doing it, or I'll screw it up.

Tied our chicken your way tonight and it turned out FABULOUSLY! Dark meat cooked through without the breast drying out. This is the only way to truss a bird in our home now. Thanks so much!
@madmaxofspokane1691
@madmaxofspokane1691 Год назад
My 1st time trying this method & I'll be referring back to this video every time I do rotisserie from now on. I do have to admit that I severely underestimated the amount of string & had to keep tying on more pieces. Time to oil it up and rub in some lemon pepper seasoning & get it into the old rotisserie oven!
@VictoriaReadsReddit
@VictoriaReadsReddit Год назад
I used this method on a 15 lb turkey. The legs were huge so didn't pop out as much. It came out perfect. Lots of crispy skin everywhere and the breast meat was super moist. Thank you for demonstrating this clearly.

3 years on now, I reckon you've mastered this method and have passed it on to thousands. But for those New Comers who are not familiar with raising the Big Top or tying the circus net, I suggest you practice this with a cheap bird several times and after straggling it numerous times and if you've managed not to amputate by rope burn any of the chicken's limbs, happy roast chicken!

This method leaves the legs sticking out, and they always overcook in our experience. There are much better ways to truss a chicken so the legs are held close to the body.

I admit that the wings on the chicken trussed as per the video's directions didn't appear over-cooked if not burned as I would've thought would happen they'd be because the wingtips exposed i.e. weren't tucked under the wing "drumstick". An interesting alternative to the traditional method. Thanks for the upload!
