HOW TO BRINE AND ROAST A CHICKEN! EASY AND DELICIOUS! ❤ 

You can feel the warmth and love that emanates from this dear woman. It comes through and permeates her food. She also feels like a close sister or aunt or friend ; and so "My Ron" and family are lucky to have their Rachel, as are we viewers, benefitting from her delightful and gentle cooking instructions.

I love how you say “my Ron” my late husbands name was jimmy and I always called him my Jimmy! He would have loved your videos. You cook with so much love and care. My jimmy loved to cook. He was blind and used all his other senses to help him cook like nobody’s business!!! When he made eggplant parm he would know exactly when do you turn the slices of eggplant frying in the pan just by hearing when they released their oils! Cooking is the universal language, and even the blind can do it! My Jimmy, proved that! ❤

My boys are not a fan of turkey so I found and used your recipe and brined a roasting chicken for Thanksgiving. It was by far the best chicken I have ever made. My whole family loved it and I will never bake another chicken without the brine again! Looking forward to more of your recipes. Thank you!

Good Morning Rachel: I found your channel a couple of weeks ago, and I have to tell you that you are the sweetest, most enjoyable cook to watch. You cook real food for real people and explain everything so clearly. Your enthusiasm and love for cooking really shines through on all of your videos. I consider myself an experienced cook, grew up with everything homemade from scratch, and I have learned many new recipes and tips from you. Your roasted chicken looks amazing. I also love how you always have your sides to go with the meal and how you plate your food and actually eat it. I love all of your aprons too. Your house feels so welcoming. Please let "My Ron" know that he does a fantastic job with the camera. Thank you for all of your hard work and for sharing your recipes. I have never cooked a mexican dish before but feel like I can now. I want to try your beef enchilada casserole and your homemade tortillas. I hope you keep sharing with us. Have an wonderful day. Julie

Rachel iam 70 and iam so happy to try out ur recipes they r different than mine and some better I was tired of the same old recipes and now I'm enjoying g cooking again thank u also u go straight to the cooking that is important because I don't like waiting for the next step while some joke n talk n talk I just don't hv the times nor patience thanks Rachel ur my new friend

Rachel, I love watching your videos. You explain everything so well, and you're not in a rush. I'm glad I found you online. I cook a lot too, but I always seem to learn something new from you. Thank you!

Rachel you have become my cooking instructor! I have learned so much and now I’m not afraid of seasonings. Thank you for your warmth and sincerity! Love all of it!! Keep em coming!

I made this tonight as a practice piece for Thanksgiving. No one really likes turkey, so I want to make a roasted chicken. I stuffed this and cooked it for about another 30 minutes. It was absolutely delicious! I’ll be making chicken noodle soup with the carcass tomorrow! Your recipes are always a hit! So easy and delicious every time! 🥰🍁🦃

This entire meal looks DELICIOUS! Thank you! How can I be this old and never have known how to brine? Rachel, i am learning so much from you and thank you very much for your lovely and detailed way of cooking! I am a new viewer in the past two weeks and from now on! From this video alone, I saw how to infuse flavors through the seasonings I have on hand, how to brine, how to cut into a whole chicken the easiest way, etc. I am a homebound senior who cooks ALL my own meals always looking for new ways to make ordinary food tastes spectacular. You are my answer and are doing that for me. God bless you for making these videos; I will be watching! ❤🙂

She needs to write a cook book. With all her chili powders and the like. She deserves a cooking show. I predict she would become known as the next Julia child.

I'm 64 this yr. Never brined. I have always put my seasoned butter under the skin though. I love that I learn something new everyday! I like using apple juice in place of water. I make a really yummy green apple stuffing. Can't wait to brine going forward. Thanksgiving is going to be so good. Thank you Miss Rachel for my something new for today!

Ron is a lucky man. Rachel, your wonderful teaching-w-love and outstanding recipes are going to be a great blessing to my 16/17 yo grandson...

I'm so glad that i finally found someone to cook a chicken with so much flavor your seasonings are wonderful, this weekend i'm surprising my family cooking this. Thank You Rachel

It’s lovely that you do all the varieties of meals with the beautiful presentation. It’s nice for us but we did these things for our families,not all families are so fortunate. The children have parents that would like to do these meals but moms and dads have to work so much there is little time left or energy. These things were what we were used to and we wish children didn’t have to think about what or if they were going to eat for dinner. Your helping to mold children into the adults they will be one day. Your giving them skills they can pass on to their children. I have four sons and they are excellent cooks ,really, as good as I was but I’m in my seventies now and not well enough to cook all those big meals which were on the table every night. Thank goodness I was lucky enough to have a husband that insisted that good food was as important as a roof over their head. We did without a lot but clean ,neat home and good food was always at the top of the list. Thank you again .

WOW, Rachel, I love your method 👏 must try this week end. You're so generous in sharing your recipes. Thank you n God's Grace to you 🙏❤

I really want to sit down with you and eat. Everything's looks so fresh perfect in every way. You my dear are a great cook and know how to explain where all your viewers can do the same way you do. Thank You very much Rachel.

Thank you Rachel for this absolutely delicious roasted chicken recipe. I made it for dinner last night. My son who isn't a fan of roasted chicken now is he absolutely LOVED it. This will definitely be a recipe I use frequently. Excited to use the brine on my turkey this Thanksgiving.

The best instructor! You explain everything, you make it easy for anyone to follow you. My first time seeing you. It definitely won’t be my last. I look forward to seeing your messages. Thank you so much.

My son learned to brine from his Vermont FIL. It made the chicken fabulous. He even does a simple brine 1/2 C of brown sugar to 1/2 Cup of kosher salt to quart of water in cool water after dissolved salt/sugar for about 2 hours and grills the chicken. It really makes a difference for grilled chicken as well. I love the added spices and lemon in the brine.

I noticed at the top that this video first occured 2 years ago, but I'm viewing today, 12/15/22, and I couldn't have found it at better time! I have everything except the rosemary, thyme, and the whole peppercorns....but I have ground black pepper, bay leaves, sage, etc. ALL the remaining ingredients, so I'm going for it. I'm a senior living alone, but there's a pair of brothers in my bldg, away from their Mom's home cooking in Mississippi, and they help me out a lot...carrying heavy, things, driving me around, helping with stairs, etc, so I want to make a nice Christmas dinner for all of us...because God is Good. I'll probably comment on Christmas Eve....let you know how it came out. You're such a blessing. Thanks

Great meal.I just learned what and how to brine. thank you.

Rachel, YOU are the BEST teacher of cooking! Anyone can cook with a camera filming them but not everyone can teach. Instructing in a slow enough pace so everyone can follow. I so appreciate all of your time. As I have said before, I wish I had learned from you earlier in my life when I was in better physical shape and when more of my family was alive to eat it. As easy as you make things look and as much joy as I get from feeding my husband, I am still going to try this and some of your other things. We love Mexican food so much too so now that it’s winter, casseroles and roasted chicken seem just right! So happy I stumbled upon your channel. I will share some of your videos on Facebook. Love it! ❤😊

My Grandma used to brine chicken when I was little. My Mother never did… but she wasn’t a big cook either. I’m going to give brining a try. Thank you for sharing

With the tv on low in the background. With her enthusiasm and love for good food, it just reminds me of a being at an aunts or grandmas house, safe and loved. Ty for your video . God bless you

Rachel I watched this delicious video while recuperating in the hospital. Thank you for sharing as always your talent and love for cooking and most importantly for making the time go alittle faster for me while healing from my surgery. Thanks a million sweet lady may God continue to bless you and your family ♥️

Rachel, I used your brine recipe for my Thanksgiving turkey, and everyone loved the results. The turkey was juicy, tender and so delicious. My daughter said it was the best turkey I have ever made, and I have to agree. The spices made such an aroma, we were all anxious to try the newly brined turkey. I will certainly try this recipe again. Thank you so much for your delightful recipes and the manner in which you teach us.

I would sure love to get the recipes for roasted carrot and homemade gravy. The chicken looks beautiful

Started yesterday with the brining and made this for Sunday dinner. Winner!!!! Technique and recipe produced a crispy dark golden brown bird with flavor to spare! Thank you so much Rachael - I love the looks, taste and moisture of the finished chicken. You are so right - much better than store bought and my gravy with the drippings also was a winner. You are the cook and just a fantastic teacher!

I have never soaked my chicken in brine. This is a great idea. Next time the family come over I'll have to cook this. Looks amazing.

Thank You so much Rachel. This is my 4th time making Brine Roast Chicken and potatoes. My husband loves it!!! I could not have imagined cooking like this before I started watching you… the best and easy to follow instructions. You are Amazing!!! Many Blessings!

I love this lady. Just discovered her. What yummy simple meals. Thanks Rachel.

It's 15 past 16 hrs. I really appreciated your way of marinating the chicken in brine for almost 18 hrs. You prepared it with much love. I believe the secret behind this recipe is the long hrs marination in the brine to give tenderness and taste . The alumunium foil also plays an important role in giving the chicken its texture &colour. Thanks very much for sharing Lady.

First time I saw Rachel cooking, love what she does, a lot like I cook. I'm hooked.

Lady Rachel, you are a cooking genius, you are so sweet and watching you brings back memories of my Mom. She passed in 2007, a princess of a lady, to this day I miss her so. God bless you and what you do for all of us demonstrating different ways to cook. I will do this next time I roast a chicken. Guarantee... going to do the brine.

My family’s favorite coating: 2 T melted butter, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, pepper to taste. I used this on whole chicken and pieces. Sometimes, mixing in pankow crumbs. Crunchy and delicious!

Your roasted chicken looks delicious. Thank you for sharing your brine recripe ❤

Thank you so much for this roast receipe. I made it and everyone loved it. It was so tender and the taste and aroma, just perfect. Thank you.

This lady is so sweet and I love how she talks you through the process. If she was my high school teacher I'd never miss a class and get all A’s. ❤😂

Oh I’ll try this!! You are so cute!! I hope Ron loves you to bits. You speak so lovingly about him. Heartwarming

Thank you for this! I have never done this before but I am excited to try it. I figured there was a secret to juicy tender roasted but I just didn’t know what it was. Thanks Rachel! Love your videos!

Rachel, I just started watching your RU-vid videos. Your terrific. I can almost smell your recipes. Keep em coming.

Hi Rachel. No one does a tasting like you. It always makes me hungry to see you enjoying what you've cooked. I definitely will try this recipe. Thankyou once again. Your the best cook. God bless you and Ron. Love Trisha

You are a delightful person and your cooking is joyful. This chicken brine has to be the secret I've been looking for. Thank you and may you be blessed in all your ways. Keep on cookin'!

I brined my Turkey breast with this, added garlic cloves and fresh and powdered sage and some poultry seasoning from a local health food store. I didn’t rinse.. and I left the lemons, onions and the other yummies into the cavity. In the morning, I used that brine juice in my stuffing. I baked the breast buttered and seasoned on top of the stuffing like my Mom and Granny always did. Used my thermometer to check the Turkey and the stuffing. It was so good! We all loved it! Hope your Christmas was wonderful. Looking forward to trying new things next year.

I love this Lady. I thing her apron selection is bigger than my whole wardrobe. She reminds me of my dear friend Gladys who died of Brest cancer. I miss her so much and this channel reminds me of when we cooked together. Warms my heart.

Too Fabulous for Words! Rachel, YOU are such a beautiful STAR!!! Thank you for all of the very important details, and also the choices of sides. Just Amazing!

👍The brining part's interesting. "a Must try recipe". Thank you v.much for sharing. I wish you well/healthy 🙂Have a nice day.

I agree, Rachel cooks with love is the most fitting name for her channel. I often think of ‘my Ron’ being so lucky to have her and the benefit of her wonderful, healthy meals. Love you Rachel. We’d be great friends; I could cook Italian for you, LOL.

I've always been of the opinion that when baking a chicken it HAS to be stuffed. Over the years I've found that the best way to moisten the stuffing is white wine. It will steam into the meat. No alcohol when fully cooked. There is something about the combination of wine, lemon, and roasted butter on chicken that is delicious. And the pan drippings into a gravy for stuffing makes a delicious meal.

Rachel, I have been cooking for 43 years. I love to cook for my family, like you do. I have learned so much from you. Thank you 🥰

Racheal I accidently found your channel and I am so glad that I did. All of your recipes are delish and you explain them oh so well your voice is so comforting And I ❤ it when you speak of your husband as " MY RON " Thank you for sharing your recipes I also love to cook and watch people as yourself... Be Bless ...❤

Ok Rachel, you had me at chicken, brine and then I saw your 4 quart RevereWare. I have a collection of vintage RevereWare (most inherited from moms that their kids didn’t want old pots and pans). If someone reads my comment I am just telling you the handles don’t like a dishwasher. They fade. There used to be a dealer on eBay that would restore the handles but no more. Irregardless, the cookware stands the test of time. Pre WW2 RevereWare will have a Patent Pending circular mark. It has more copper. During WW2 metal was sacrificed for the war effort, so the copper thickness was changed. Still, RevereWare was supreme quality. Many homes keep their cookware still. The reason I know this is because I like to research my home cookware. My kitchen is the heart of my home. I love to see a loving cooks kitchen too. I’m nosy that way. Rachel I really like to see how you use cookware as well as advise cooking skill. I learned to cook being in many of my mothers friends kitchens and I love detail. You show delicious and affordable meals. Thank you so much for your channel!

What a great recipe! You remind me of a younger version of my mom, and that's a HUGE compliment. I cant wait to make this for my wife and kids. I'm sure they will for sure think I'm the best dad cook around. Thanks so much and GODBless you! Bly M.

Love your tutorials! Its fun being in your kitchen!

Rachel you are a girl after my own heart…love to cook…..Thank you so much, I have been doing brines for my BBQ beer can chicken for years, and the family can’t get enough…..but they will absolutely love all the extra flavour when I make your delicious brine!!!! ❤️

Loved the brine recipe! I'll definitely be roasting a chicken at home more often.Thank you so much for your tips and wonderful recipes GO BLESS YOU

Thank you so much and your explanation is so straight up I didn't know how to brine from on you are my cooking instructor blessings to you and your family I'm a jamaican watching you from Toronto Canada 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇨🇦🇨🇦💐

Rachel, I love your approach to cooking, such an inspiration.❤️

I'm from south Texas and relate so much to your cooking. Love your perfectionism!! I grew up in a tex-mex kitchen and appreciate how tenacious you are.

Girl that roasted chicken looks delicioso. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💗

I liked this recipe, it's very well explained and shows the whole process very simple, the way it's explained, it seems so simple I'm going to try this soon now.

So tender & juicy, you are a wonderful cook! 😋😁

The best way to a mans heart is thru his stomach, you really know how to please your hubby. I do the same thing I make all my Ron's favorites too.

Discovering you is the best that happened to me and i am hooked at your recipes since...the way you teached and execute made you become the best teacher, clear to understand and follow leaving me mouth watering especially your potato salad and this roast chicken which i thought would be best for the holidays...THANK YOU RACHAEL..❤👏

I marinate my chicken for 2-3days and turkey for 4days I'm from the old school days your marinate is great but I add a lot of other herbs but it's the best I've seen on RU-vid

You did a fantastic presentation. Watched it with my daughter. Thanks ever so much for your wonderful and informative presentation.

Good day Rachel. your recipes have increased my cooking skills tremendously. Potato salad and mac and cheese never tasted so good until I did it your way. My roast chicken is now to die for. Thank you so much.

So happy with this recipe. Something I thought difficult , it's given me the courage to attempt it.

Rachel, you're the real deal! I just found you today and I can't wait to brine my first chicken! You cook the real way, just like my mom did! So glad I found you.

I cannot wait to make this, I made your famous pot roast yesterday for hubs and me. All I can say is wow! Seasoning it, flouring, searing then cooking it first with all wonderful spices and veggies it was out of this world good. Easiest gravy recipe ever! Thank you so very much beautiful lady! I’m a faithful follower for life 💖

I have never brined a chicken in my 62 yrs on this earth and I'm not about to start now. And I am famous for my Sunday roast chicken. Thanks for your interesting videos Rachel.

Love your cooking style. Demonstrated and explained the details very clearly. The love and patients you put into your preparation, cooking and serving shows. You bless so many people with your gifts and talent. You are very inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing. I am from ( down under ) NSW Australia

Dear Rachel, I love watching your videos, it is as if you are right inside my kitchen in South Africa. Thank you for teaching me about loving to cook❤

I enjoy how you explain your methods. You're very good.

Hi Ms Rachel, you're my favorite cook to watch. You prepare your food so easily step by step to follow. Thank you for being so classy and finesse!

Brining makes the chicken very tasty and juicy. I brine my pork also. I made SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN two days ago, I brined my chicken parts for 8 hrs, I brine them for 24 if time allows. My fried chicken was juicy.

Rachel, You speak so clearly and beautifully. Thank you ❤️ for this recipe! Looking forward to more!

Oh! My gosh! How can this fail? That brim is so filled with flavor, it can't fail! ... New to me but it's a must try! LOL! All the seasonings are favorites. My mouth is watering as you cut into this bird! Now, that's a meal for the week for at least two or more using different parts of this beautiful chicken. Thank you, thank you for this recipe! This will remain a staple in my house.

I love to watch you cook. You are a beautiful woman presenting a beautiful meal. It looks like you are enjoying it, you smile a lot and that gives people a very satisfying feeling. And your food looks sooooo delicious ! So glad I found your channel !!!

I have tried several of your recipes and they have all been great can't wait to try this one have a great day

Love that you did not dry chicken out and its skin is golden and not blackened! I am doing your recepe right now. Except, I don't have thyme, replaced it with rosmary. Also have not gotten the night to brine, will do only a few hours on the countertop. Thanks!

Rachael we have a very well known celebrity cook over here, she is called Nigella Lawson. She shows as all how to brine our turkeys for Christmas Dinner.She's the only one I've seen do it. I've not tried it yet but I think I might after watching you do your scrumptious chicken.

Looks absolutely delicious!!! Can't wait to try this! One of my favorite things about being retired is having time for relaxed cooking!

That's one beautifully roasted chicken better than any grocery store one. What a wonderful brine to try and just love how you make it look so easy my amiga. This is definitely a must try recipe. Glad you look so happy in your Ohio beautiful kitchen. May you and your Ron have a wonderfully blessed rest of your week.

Dear Rachel, I tried your method and it was sublime! Thank you so much for this fundamental proceeding...may God bless you.

I can't wait to try it

Well.... That was great. I didn't think I was up for a 26min video for brining a chicken, but you had me hooked from the beginning! I'm not even roasting my chicken. I want to brine and smoke a spatchcock chicken. But your attention to detail has given me direction that I didn't expect. Thank you! I will be following your lead.

Ron is a very lucky man! I can smell this wonderful meal thru youtube! Beautiful!

Thanks for your wonderful and delicious recipes. God blessings be with you always

Thanks for this. This looks amazing. I can't wait to try.

Wow! I just buy a chicken, season it and roast. Not anymore! I got to thinking about what it means when its organic. I have to try brining and roasting an organic chicken! My mouth was watering watching you eat that chicken!!

Simply Delicious and makes my mouth. I can't wait to try this recipe

Now this my Dear I'm going to make with you cole slaw and green salad. Thank you so much 💐💐💐

I'm 74 yrs. old. I have always wanted to roast a brined chicken, but never liked the brine recipe. Thank you for sharing this recipe, it makes my mouth water.

mmm comfort food at its best. question please, can I let the chicken soak in the brine in the refrigerator for the 12 hours? I worry about putting it in the garage or something that it would go bad in those 12 hours. I'm very sensitive to things like that and get sick easily. don't want to risk it. what do you think Rachel or anyone out there?

I'm so glad you made rotisserie chicken I am so tired of the half cooked chicken that I get at the store I always have to cook it longer now all I need is to learn how to make gravy and not the packet stuff or the jar stuff thanks Rachel 🫂

I am so in love with your recipes. Thank you. Your recipes are like my family's ALMOST YOUR RECIPES ARE BETTER. Don't tell my Nana.

Also Recipe very clear to follow. Great!! Rachel.

Love it! Keep posting more of your best cook videos! I am going to try this recipe for my upcoming families get together this Christmas. Thank you so much for sharing to all of us.
