I can feel the immense amount of work you put into the instructional pacing. Both the lifetime long work of reducing ideas to their simplest core elements, and the short-term work of ruthlessly cutting down the video to it's smallest possible size, while still insisting on a full explanation of why your making the choices you are. It comes across in your videos, in a way I have literally never seen before in a cooking video series. The video is all content, there is nearly no waste. Dense, but perfectly pedagogically structured, and with an ease that comes from thoroughly practiced understanding of the material. I deeply appreciate these videos, and have already made the clam chowder, the 3 loaves 1 Dough bread, and the Brioche Buns. Keep up the excellent work.

FYI if you add some dried thyme or dill to the pie dough, you get a huge flavor boost. My fam is in love with the herb-y crust.

This was sooooo good. For anyone wondering, I made a full 9" pie (top crust only) and then had enough filling and crust to build a second pie for the freezer in an 8x8 disposable foil pan.

I appreciate how well organized your written recipes are and your cooking demos follow your recipes to the letter. Very well organized.

Great Video Bri! Can't wait to try this one. Looking forward to Pot Pie this weekend. Thanks again!

That's a lot of hard work Brian, greatly appreciated as always

Thank looks sooooo good. Sadly this is more than I can manage but I just wanted to share that I appreciated a couple of things. 1: you showed how the cold stock looked and admitted that it look unappetising. As a cooking disaster, others who only show pretty stuff means when I see my stock looking unappetising I would assume I did something wrong and toss it in fear of food poisoning. So thank you. 2. Along the same lines, for the same reasons, thanks for explaining the pink chicken. 3. Thank you for sharing the store bought puff pastry option and telling us there is no shame in it while sharing the pros and cons. As someone who can’t manage to cook everything by hand, it was great to hear and learn what the difference is. Oh and same for the rotisserie chicken. Thank you

Congratulations on 300k… you will make at least 1 million this year. You have great but practical recipes that aren’t made with bizarre or crazy expensive ingredients and tools.

I like the example of the single portion as I’m often cooking only for myself, it’s handy to get a look at how you portion and maybe freeze portions for later 🙂👍 Would love suggestions on future recipes for splitting out and freezing smaller portions when it’s possible with a recipe (not everything portions-out for later , I get that 🙂). Awesome stuff, Bri!

Love this. A lot of CPP recipes call for making a chicken veloute/béchamel combo. I’m in your camp, dude. No dairy needed if the stock is bomb! I also love the recurring use of fennel in many of your vids. I can go either way on slow vs. pressure cooked stock. I’ve been going slow and uncovered on the stovetop this winter based solely on the fact that the house smells amazing for many, many, hours.

What a perfect recipe for the season. Thanks for the tips and tricks. You produce the highest quality videos. It is to the point and filled with usable content for the home cook. Keep it going. I will do that dry brine whole chicken roast.

Another fine recipe delivered to us by a very well spoken gentleman. Also, it’s fun to see the small human errors like leaving the cap on the grinder. Well done !

Wow, think this is the first time to see chicken feet in non-asian chicken stock. Plus the tip about slow simmering won't emulsify the fat into the stock. Not many channels mention that. Huge difference in flavor and methods of use in my opinion. Great job as always Bman!

Watching you make this was like therapy! Well done!

I like your no nonsense approach to making your videos. Just enough information to make it interesting and informative without giving us the entire history of how and why humans came to raise chickens for food. I make a great pot pie too, but I learned a couple of tips here that I'll incorporate to see how I like it!

Oh wow that looks EPIC! Nice job Brian!!

just made this for dinner, sans fancy veggies. absolutely delicious! everything was perfect. best chicken pot pie I've ever had. Thanks Brian! I ended up with enough filling for about (8)-14oz ramekins. the pie crust was enough for 5. Will make a little more of the dough and try to freeze some pot pies for later :). We were thinking we might need 2 pot pies per person, but one each was plenty.

Laughter is the best medicine. Thanks, Bri.

Hey B-man. disagree about the con for pressure cooking chicken stock. Especially since you cool it off anyway. Yes it emulsifies more, because of the vigorous boiling going on. But unless you need it right away(and you cool yours down anyway), the fat floats up to the top no matter what and becomes very easy to peel off when cold.

@calebwoods9607

2 жыл бұрын

Agreed - also, if you do natural pressure release over a long time, the stock stays very clear with way less emulsification.

@SuzanneBaruch

2 жыл бұрын

Actually, an Instant Pot doesn't cook food by boiling it, since the huge amount of pressure inside prevents boiling. To make a clear stock that doesn't have emulsified fat in an Instant Pot, let the pressure come down on its own instead of releasing it. Releasing the pressure will increase the temperature and trigger boiling and emulsification. But I do agree with you, the IP is a viable alternative here. I'm old school though, and actually prefer Bri's method.

I am also a pressure cooker stock advocate. I found I enjoy the pressure cooker stock more than the slow cooker or pot-on-stove approach. I see much more gelatin in the pressure cooker stock, so much so that it has the consistency of jello when cold. I'd like to see a side by side comparison now!

I took 2 days to get it done… amazingly delicious. The chicken feet had my stomach doing gymnastics but I stuck to it and what a reward! Thanks Brian

Brian… Brian… Brian… the king of chicken. Love everything you do! Keep up the good work.

Thanks Bri for another GREAT video! I also grew up with the same chicken pot pies as you, except that they came in metallic pans in the 70s and had to be cooked in the oven. I always LOVED the bottom crust. I used to turn them out onto a plate so the bottom crust was on top. I've read through the comments and see that others share this love of a bottom crust. I want to experiment with your recipe to see if it's possible. I trust your advice, but I really crave a fully enclosed pie. My other comment is about quantity. If I only make 2 at a time, will the extra crust dough last in the fridge? I also LOVED the medium dice video trick and watched it 3 times! Yay! Keep up the awesome work!!! Thanks, Mitch

Holy smokes. As your newest disciple, I tried this last week. Absolutely amazing. Was a bit of a snipe hunt to find the chicken feet and backs and someone recommended a specialty packing house in town and voila! The FauxTisserie chicken gag is absolutely factory. Really solid and infinitely better than the store-bought prefabs, which are always UNDERCOOKED to me, actually. I hate slimy chicken. Yeesh. Found 10 oz ramekins and I totally see where 14 would be superior. But that just meant we each ate two, so no real loss there. The best pot pies ever ever.

I needed thisssss.

Your dry brine and slow cooking of the chicken are a game changer, it is my new way to cook chicken. The stick of butter to sweat the veggies was too much for our tummies so will scale back next time, but I found my new chicken pot pie recipe!

Loved the quad shot of the diced veggies - very YSAC. 😄

Virtually the same recipe that I make! Except that have never added fennel (yet!) and I add about a third of a cup of cream that's I see now is unnecessary. And the feet, that's a hard no. lol. I keep speaking of the quality of your vids and I really can't do that enough. Still floored by all you put into these. The dice/mince cutaway, the bloopers (egg, oops!), the sound effects (stock, sploosh!). The fact that virtually everything is filmed, shots clearly very meticulously planned, and then narrated through a voice-over. Bri, you ARE in a league of your own. Congrats on a very well-deserved 300K! Woot! 👍

Oh geez Brian. You are totally making me hungry and I just ate. Obviously I'm subscribed.

Wow! Amazing!

Beautiful work here, and being a big advocate of buying free-range chicken, I'm a massive fan you showed the origin of the meat here.

Looks good! I've been putting rutabaga in my pot pies instead of potato just to switch things up. Of course, I also make mashed potatoes on the side but I'm crazy like that.

It looks so yummy I will surely have to try it😊

Hey Bri-guy, been a long time watcher but rarely comment on anything ever but wanted to say one thing. BISCUIT! I know it is not a pot pie but make a nice biscuit and bake that on top and you have something really amazing IMO. I usually do a 12 inch cast iron pot pie filling and either do drop biscuits on top or sometimes take the time to cut them out. All and all it makes for a really hearty meal that rocks.

Brian: Chicken Pot Pie: Double Crust RULES! Love, love, love your channel but no double crust? C'mon Bri! You are more than up to the task!

Idk what it is, they just creep me out -- but nearly *all* ramen broths require chicken feet. Eventually, I started using packets of powdered gelatin and (thankfully) that worked.

I ate Stouffer's pot pies when I was little not because I had too but because I WANTED TOO it was sooooo good. Ever since then I've loved pot pies and make them in big pyrex containers but the use of chicken feet I have not done. I will definitely be trying this recipe!😆

HOLY CRAP!!! That looks wonderful! Stouffer's? Bri, you had a privileged childhood. We had Swanson's. Yech. It's really nice to see a pot pie with actual chicken in it instead of mostly crust top, sides and bottom. You hit a home run dude!

Looks delicious 😋 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻

Bri - Some kamado gurus I've been watching shared a magic trick for seasoning whole chickens - dry brine underneath the skin (easy if spatchcocked) and rub the meat well. While salting the skin brines the meat some, the rub flavors often don't make it into the meat. I season the top for presentation with a lower salt version of the same rub. It's especially magic if you chop or shred the chicken. Try it out and share your take on the result. As always, thanks for all your awesome material. Cheers!

Looks incredible

I've never tried the chicken feet trick, but any homemade chicken stock has got to beat the store bought stuff. It's like heavy cream versus skimmed milk, there's just no comparison. I used to put tarragon in my pot pie but fennel's a great idea, I need to try that! Also, I really like a pot pie topped with a drop biscuit style "crust" for the crunch and craggle, but I'll give yours a try since my complaint was the crust softness. Thanks!

I tried this recipe, cutting a few corners (I had non-feet stock already made from my last chicken). It was still dope.

Everything looks great. I try to do my whole chickens the same, but I just salt. I will try your method.. Looks delicious. Only thing I can't do is your pastry. Have to go with the Pillsbury stuff.

Comprehensively (yet succinctly) teaching how to make homemade pie crust, homemade stock, dry brining and roasting a bird, AND a delicious, creamy, yet dairy-free filling in under 15 minutes? I'm not sure I could pay for better content if I tried. What a supreme video.

Never thought I'd hear the word "ploppy" in a food video that is so appetizing 😂

That looks amazing Bri ! Is there a specific reason as to why you only used chicken in your stock and no veggetables ?

I grew up on Swanson’s (maybe that’s a West Coast brand?) and Marie Callender’s. Can’t wait to try the BriPie. 😊

I really enjoyed the editing you did on the little section of slamming the whole veg on the cutting board and they're instantly diced. cool little touches like that really make the video. Also, is "all day" a you thing or just local vernacular?

YOU ARE AMAZING ❤❤❤❤❤

For anyone wondering I did this in a 14-in wide skillet put the dough on the top and put it in the oven and made one ginormous pot pie and it worked great but I recommend making the dough a little bit thicker than you would on the ramekins just because the dough is so good
