Our pursuit of crispy-skinned, whole roasted chicken continues as we explore the effect of Japanese mayonnaise. Its ingredients are ideal for the Maillard reaction and good browning. The rich protein in the egg yolk, combined with the sugar content, is sufficient to trigger the Maillard reaction, which gives browned food its distinctive flavour. Additionally, the vinegar in the mayonnaise alters the pH level of the skin, enhancing its ability to brown.
This is the seventh of many videos where we explore different ways to roast a whole chicken. Part 8 is coming on the 9th of October.
