Im an old guy and never really was much of a cook. But your channel has opened my eyes to the chemestry of cooking, the use of different pots and pans and techniques that I never even thought of. I absolutely love that you not just run through the ingredients and recipe but also tells what and why you are doing something in that specific order etc. I've started to cook more since i found your channel and feel that I am getting better and more confident. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. :-)

These pots are so inexpensive when you consider you will use them constantly and they will outlive you. I would recommend a round one (better shape when using on a cooktop) and a white interior (easier to see what’s happening inside). Oval shape is better for roasting chicken. But any shape or color, you won’t be sorry.

You can never have enough butter. Use the European types. More fat! I use unsalted Kerrygold. Remember to use a high smoke point oil to prevent butter from burning when sautéing. Safflower, peanut, or grapeseed oils are good, for they have no taste.

I lived in France for a year and that's just what they say, "noix de beurre". "Noix" translates to 'nut' or 'walnut'. This is the typical amount used, about the size of a nut, or walnut. We can choose to use more or less if we want to. 😉

Thank you some much for all your recipes. So far I have made 5 of them and the flavors are harmonious balanced. Everyone wants seconds of every dish I have prepared.
I just made this tonight and oh my goodness... not to toot my own horn, but it was exquisite (because of the recipe, of course). I'm so glad I rediscovered your channel! Since the pandemic started, I've been cooking for my family more and I've been pulling recipes from here the most because a lot of is surprisingly easy to make. And, literally every time I've made something from your channel, my family and I just go wide-eyed and sigh at how delicious everything is. Thank you so much! You are a godsend!

I'm thinking of making this, but it seems like to me since you don't really give the skin a chance to be crispy, it might just be better to remove it before the last step (broiling), since it would come out somewhat soft and rubbery, which many people don't like (as opposed to nice crispy skin when its roasted or grilled). How was your experience?
@theunicahijaph
Жыл бұрын
Looking back now, I didn't really pay much attention to texture of the skin. That being said, that detail might be something worth considering if it enhances the dish. Will pay more attention to that next time. The flavor, however, was honestly all I really cared about and I have no complaints with this dish at all 😋 Tweaks are personal too, I suppose :)
I have a few Le Creuset items, they are worth every penny. They last forever and require very little care to keep them looking great. Either stovetop or in the oven, they are wonderful to cook with. I love the new kitchen, beautifully done.
I like this dish...here’s why...yes, I love garlic; yes, I love onions; yes I like my herbs and bouquet garni...but sometimes moving away from those standards gets you to think about other flavour profiles and options. Will make it this weekend.

I think the need for a high quality chicken can’t be overstated for a braising like this. I’ll have to try more trimming as you did, for a better pan fit and appearance. Looks perfect, and I’m jealous of the stovetop (and the nice window backdrop).
I have learned so much about cooking because of your channel. Can you believe I used to sear meat, and then WASH that delcioiusness away? I've done that for years, the crime of ignorance. No more. Since I can't afford to eat out at a fancy French restaurant, I must learn these cullinarly skills and practices and sin no more!
I love your videos I'm Mexican and I love to learn different recipes from all over the world your videos are one of my favorite. The window next to the stove is amazing it looks lovely
Salut Chef, je sors à l'instant de table avec votre fameux poulet à la Gaston Gérard. Voici plus de 15 ans que je cherche la bonne recette en vain. Mais la vôtre et So Great. Thank you very much.
I appreciate the basic description is "We don't expect much from the chicken itself, it's basically all about the sauce" 😄
I made this last night - it's delicious. Thank you. It reminds me of an old British dish called Welsh rarebit. Beer, Cheddar and English mustard powder made into a sauce poured over toast and grilled. Chicken Gaston Gerard is Welsh Rarebit on steroids.
Stephane, made this for today's Sunday dinner along with sides of steamed brussel sprouts and roasted onions and fennel with thyme. It was a huge hit, loved the flavors! Thank you for sharing your talent, cooking and recipes with us!!
J'ai recenement commencer a vous suivre Stephane. Ça ma fait vraiment ouvrir les yeux au niveau du cuisine français car je suis un des milliers de ressortissants britannique installer içi en france. Merçi et je vous ai souscri.By the way your english is superb, felicitations.
sir, your videos make me seem like a professional. thank you!
Not only is the chef good looking but I love how we can improve our cooking skills, it's a disg that you can eat alone like this, or potatoes but I would prefer rice and green peas to add more beauty! Thank you chef!
Dijon is so beautiful.
I find chicken to be quite boring (unless it's smoked over charcoal), so I swapped it for a rabbit, and it was delicious; definitely keeping this recipe in my back pocket. Stéphane, I would love to see you tackle the Paté Pantin next!
I love your open and bright kitchen.
I love the French concept of a "little bit" of butter. I totally agree. I love cream, paprika, and mustard. I will have to try this one soon. I agree with the need for an enameled cast iron braising pan. Mine is a Staub but as long as it is heavy, good quality with well fitting lid and the drip nibs on the inside of the lid you are good to go.
Definitely making this!
This looks like a spectacular dish! I am so looking forward to preparing for my family. Stephane, you are the best at you do for many reasons- your joyful presence is foremost! Patricia.
Glad for the new mic. I always had to crank up the volume with your older vids, but not anymore.

There is not one enameled cast iron pan that can perform anything like Le Creuset. People say "oh, it's so expensive!" ... it is, and for a reason. They last, with the right care, and as for care, it is minimal. Some of my pans are nearly sixty years old, and they are just as beautiful today as they were when new. They are heirlooms that I will pass down, and they will keep on performing.
That looked delicious. Thank you.

That looks fantastic. A great way to cook a whole chicken and make stock at the same time. Thanks for that!
Dspite being rather ancient - at 75 - I oftentimes have a go at cooking. The other day I came across a nice chicken, so I thougt I had better try. A cooking pan at 200 euros seemed a bit steep, so I used my old one (20 euros ten years ago). Comté cheese at 35 euros per kilo, seemed a bit on the expensive side, so I used a local, Swedish cheese instead, costing me eight euros per kilogram. I was not entirely satisfied by the result, but my guest said that what she was served was among the tastiest dinner she had ever eaten (flattering of course). But for a first try!!!

you had me at Comté... and that cream looks as thick as honey! like the new ruggish chef look, Jean Pierre. Kitchen looks nice too. Bonus Edit: I got a bit confused for a while - I thought Gaston Gerard played left back for the first French World Cup winning side. Known for his speed, quickness to the ball and the ability to drop a long ball into a glass of white wine. Also a vicious tackler, got lots of yellow cards...
