Course Morton Kosher, no more than a 1/4 cup for a whole chicken, should be ample. You should *not* have to rinse your chicken, as that will waterlog the skin you just worked so hard to dry out. Just brush off any remaining salt.

I did this chicken the 1st time without doing the brine process. The chicken was not crispy,. So I did it again with the brine process. To avoid having it super salty as others have said, I made sure to use kosher salt and to brush off the salt (as he briefly implies at 4:04). Woah, what a difference. The chicken was super crispy, really delicious. Quite impressed.

For the people who end up with over-salty chicken and think rinsing the chicken after brining defeats the purpose : The purpose of (dry) brining is seasoning the meat (so not just on the outside) and changing the structure of its muscle proteins so that they’re better able to retain their own juices. When salt is applied to raw meat, juices inside the meat are drawn to the surface. The salt then dissolves in the exuded liquid, forming a brine that is eventually reabsorbed by the meat. So rinsing will only wash off the excess salt while the meat itself will stay seasoned. If you pat it dry after rinsing and place it back in the fridge for an extra hour the chicken will be dry enough to get it nice & crispy after roasting.

Rinsing chicken is a sanitation nightmare. You're splashing all the nasty things on the chicken all over the place. He says in the video he brushes the salt away. Don't rinse meats as a general rule.

I made this tonight for dinner without the salt brine and it was pretty damn amazing. I did however salt it and let it sit until moisture drew out (about 30 mins). Then I patted it dry, made the herb and butter mixture and then stuffed it under the skin (after letting it sit to get to room temperature and seasoning it with garlic powder, salt and pepper with a little extra butter on top). I popped that 3.3 lb monster in the oven at 375 (pre-heated for 20-30 mins) and cooked it for 55 minutes. I decided that I rather start it off at that temperature and work off of that after 45 minutes to determine if I needed to up the temp or not. Better safe than sorry (didn't want to do all that and have a burnt chicken). I did however, have to turn it around so that it would brown evenly on top (my oven is old) and served it with the sauce you made as well. Made a side of mashed potatoes and sauteed asparagus to go with it. Best damn chicken I've ever had. Moist, perfectly seasoned (if you know what you're doing) and crispy. 😍 Thank you Babish. I'm so crutched with making Asian cuisine and this was the first whole roasted chicken and classic "American" dinner that I've ever made and it came out well. Maybe I'll start making other things outside of the Asian world. 😅

You need to show how to remove the salt cure! I have seen this technique on TV shows and videos and they NEVER show this critical step! Do you just dump away the salt? Is there any washing of excess salt with water (which seems like it would defeat the purpose of drying the skin) or is it just brushed away? What techniques do you recommend to get rid of concentrated pockets of hidden salt that can result in unpleasant salt explosions when tasted? I've tried this curing with a duck which ended up ruined. I know other people who have tried this and their meat ended up being unbearable salty as well. Chefs always ignore vital information like this. If you are doing a basic video then please show ALL the steps especially the ones you think are "obvious" because they are not to people who want to learn.

One modification I would definitely suggest is to line the bottom of the pan with some aluminum foil, and potatoes and carrots, the first time I made this it smoked like all hell because of all the fat hitting the hot pan and burning, but the carrots, potatoes and foil kept it from smoking at all this time.

Rinsing won't defeat the purpose. The purpose of (dry) brining is seasoning the meat and changing the structure of its muscle proteins so that they’re better able to retain their own juices. When salt is applied to raw meat, juices inside the meat are drawn to the surface. The salt then dissolves in the exuded liquid, forming a brine that is eventually reabsorbed by the meat. So rinsing will only wash off the excess salt while the meat itself is seasoned and stays seasoned. If you pat it dry and place it back in the fridge for an extra hour the chicken will be dry enough again to get it nice & crispy after roasting.

I have a real love hate relationship with this channel. I've been cooking for my entire career. I started in a sandwich shop at 13, moved to Pizza Place (Moose's Tooth, look it up) and have spent the last few years working with some really great chefs at a few different restaurants. I was passionate about learning and joining a new team always excited me and terrified me at the same time. But, almost two years ago I started getting sick, a year and a half ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I tried to keep working full time and do my treatment but my body wasn't up to it. Eventually I had to leave my job, and sadly I was replaced before I could go back. I fell face first into drugs for a few months and ended up in a rehab center, leaving cancer and drug free. I was given an opportunity to try out at a local place after not cooking for 9 months (not even at home.) I felt that any passion or excitement I had felt before was gone, and all I was left with was this overwhelming fear of failure. That feeling, along with the stress of living in a car during the winter in Alaska tricked me into quitting after less than a week. The next place I went was out of business a couple weeks after I started. And I ended up working with a chef who was running a couple of different restaurants, he let me name my price and pick my schedule. Sounded to good to be true, because it was. (Not his fault.) As promises became daydreams, the love I once had for cooking became a distant memory. Truth be told it was gone before the cancer was, but I don't know how to do anything else. I ended up leaving that position, and moving to a remote island over 700 miles away from the nearest real kitchen. The store here has a produce selection that can be counted on a full set of fingers (literally.) I've made a promise to myself that I would try something else before returning to work in another kitchen. But watching these videos has inspired me to cook again, even if just for myself or a loved one. Which I really appreciate. But I can't find the ingredients for any of this stuff so it's frustrating. Almost worth moving back to the city.

I just got your new cookbook, and I just want to thank you for being an inspiration to me and many other people that watch your channel. Keep up the videos! Can't wait to see what new recipes come out in the new year.

I just cooked my first whole chicken, a task I’ve spent my adult life not feeling competent enough to do. It was awesome, thanks for breaking it down!

We're then going to add the juice of the lemon, which you can see through the loosened fingers of my hand, this is catching the seeds and finding any cuts i didn't know i had

You poured an insane amount of salt on the chicken and let it set over night but you didn’t show what to do after that… do you put foil over it over night? Do you plastic wrap it? Do you rinse it off the next day? A lot of details over looked for a “basics” video.

My wife and I made the chicken today, awesome results! Thanks for the help, will definitely be making it again

So I just found this channel like a week ago and have well and truly binge watched it. I can't wait until payday so I can get this guys recipe book, he really knows his stuff

"Single tear" Babish stop summarising my life 💧

2:13 Babish's recipes explained in little than 2 seconds.

Just went through the entire basics series, and I love it! Thank you so much for your help with each of these simple dishes. Could you dedicate an episode on eggs?

I made this chicken with the sauce exactly to the recipe. Excellent. That lemon parsley sauce was great.

Ok, so I feel like I am definitely the target audience for this series (mostly I cook a lot of pasta because it is easy) the only other recipe I have tried is the sheetpan salmon with potatoes and asparagus which came out amazing. I have now tried the recipe in this video twice and I have a few comments. 1. removing the salt brine is not properly explained. The first time I made this recipe I tried brushing it off by hand and it came out inedibly salty (I had to throw it out). The second time, I spent 10-15 minutes brushing all the salt off and it was still too salty (but not inedibly so) I doubt I will try brining it next time. 2. I highly suggest lining the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil, and some roasting vegetables (I used potatoes and carrots this time). The first time I made this recipe I nearly got smoked out of my kitchen because of the fat rendering out of the chicken and directly hitting the hot pan, the second time I made this there was no smoke, and I got bonus roasted veggies for the side...

First off, I'm a big fan I've been watching you since the beginning. I love your work. I got a question . You never really explained what to do to finish off the dry brine. Am I supposed to clean the salt off? Should I leave it completely salted? You use a shit ton of salt in this video. You literally dumped a box. Please explain. instructions unclear. My body is very well preserved now, and my version is inedibly salty.

I used a dry paper towel first to remove the obvious clumps of salt. I had some difficulty removing some of the other bits so used a clean wet towel to get the rest, making sure to get into all the nooks especially around the wing. I then pat it dry once more with clean paper towels. It didn’t turn out too salty like some others have said, and was crispy to boot. I did only have the salt on for 4-5 hours though. Hope this helps.

I did this for Christmas this year. It worked! And everybody loved it!! ❤️ onwards to the next basic lol

Made this tonight. Skipped the salt brine, partly because I forgot to do it last night and partly because I read through the bad comments earlier and no one had good luck. So I sprinkled a bit of salt over the bird an hour- 1.5 hours before I actually put it in the oven. Made my butter mixture with half a shallot finely minced, ground thyme, pepper, a bit of minced garlic (I cheat and get the preminced stuff in the jar) and dried rosemary from the jar, and REAL butter- don't ever use the nasty tub butter (for anything), it's poison. I'm not rich enough to get super fresh expensive herbs all the time, but the dried stuff seems to work ok, so don't be scared to not get fresh herbs and spices! I'm definitly no professional, but this also isn't my first rodeo. That being said, I used way too much butter lol. The chicken came out beautifully. I cooked it at about 350 for probably around an hour- it temp'd a bit high, but it tasted great, and wasn't rubbery or anything. I was shocked since it was technically way over cooked. The seasoning was SO good, but my god, was it buttery. My suggestion, if you're a novice, is to skip the salt brine (since that is really just to crisp the skin) and sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper over the skin an hour before baking, it's still a beautiful brown, and watch the amount of butter you use. Season more than you'd think to in the butter, but don't use more than 3 tablespoons or so. You kinda can't go too much of a good thing, butter is life, but my lips are still greasy 3 hours later lol! Also, check the bird, if it's starting to look a bit brown, pull it out and take a spoon and spoon the drippings over the bird so everything stays moist, and do this every so often. That really helps the skin brown, having the melted butter spooned over top. And when you take the bird out, when it's rested, take the drippings and make a pan gravy. There is nothing more wonderful in the world than a homemade pan gravy from drippings!

I would love to see babish on the cooking show chopped. I would like to see the creative parts of babish

This has always been my go to method for roasting chicken ever since I first saw this video years ago. 🧡

After all I've gone through with Gordon and Jaimie, I can firmly say I feel at home over here. Thank you! Cheers.

SOOOOOO how do we get the salt off rinse, shake, brush?

Kelsey Savage you have to have a reeeeeeeealy low heat, the lowest your stove can go. That's the secret

Banish, I cooked this on Thanksgiving, and this is the best chicken I've ever had. And yes I've had too many chickens. But on 450F actually burnt the chicken skin in 20mins. So I dropped the temperature to 375F after 20mins, and same 45mins total time, it came out perfect. Everyone should roast their chicken like this😋😋

I just made this tonight and it was amazing! I will be adding this to my favorites forever. Love the videos ❤️

I made this roast chicken recipe for myself tonight; it is the first time I've attempted roasting a whole chicken. It turned out impeccably crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the gremolata was delish.

I'm confused about the salt part. Once the time passes do you wash it off with water or just brush it off with your hand or something like that?

Brush the salt off. Do not rinse the chicken

@maneaterbug

The entire point of the salt is to dry out the skin so it can be crispy, to wash it with water would make the whole process pointless. Also don't ever rinse poultry, it's not sanitary.

I never tried cooking a whole chicken before watching this. After watching this, I have been spatchcocking them. It's so easy, and I just throw whatever seasonings I feel like on it. Comes out great, and I have leftovers for days.

Ben Baron it really depends where you live. If you live in a drier climate it’s usually a good idea to refrigerate garlic as it will dry out but if it’s more humid it’s alright. So for example for me in Edmonton I can leave garlic out in the summer when the air is more moist but in the winter the air dries out so I must refrigerate it

I tried this recipe but I forgot to remove the pile of salt from the chicken and died of sodium toxicity, 0/10 would not cook again

Wittek Zwolankiewicz - Try using ~double the amount of salt you used last time. The reason so much is sticking is because it's too wet after drawing moisture from the chicken. Doubling the amount of salt should leave it dryer and it should come off better.

Please tell me you didnt use sea salt or god forbid Table salt

I made this for our Christmas dinner, this weekend. I probably could have brushed the salt off a little more thoroughly, because wow was it salty, but other than that, it was amazing. Skin was crispy, meat was juicy. The buttery rub under the skin makes a huge difference, and the lemon garlic sauce on top blew me away, considering how easy it was to throw together. Oh yeah, and my 4 year old, who has recently given up on any chicken that isn't shaped like a boot, said the chicken was delicious too!

I did it two times. One time following you precisely and the second time glazing the skin with some bbq marinade, both were amazing but I would suggest you guys try the later variant as well. I glazed it after 30 minutes in the oven and set it back in for another 15 mins.
