SV a Whole Chicken

Recommended Posts

This is the first time I have sous vide a whole chicken but it won't be the last. A friend and I decided to cook ourselves a fun dinner. She did the appetizer and the dessert and I did the main course.

This is the recipe for the chicken- https://recipes.anovaculinary.com/recipe/sous-vide-whole-chicken

The trussed chicken goes in the bag with stock, celery, leeks, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, thyme, bay leaves and soy sauce.

Here are the veggies ready to go into the bag with the chicken-

The whole works goes on for 6 hours at 150F. But we end up with a snow storm and decide it is not safe for my friend to come out. I finish the chicken, cool it and put it in the fridge for overnight. The next day about 2 hours before dinner the bag is put back in the bath at 150F to heat up.

We received a good foot of fluffy snow, it was very pretty.

Appetizer, toasted bread with blue cheese, slice of pear and prosciutto and a little thyme.

Chicken and veggies out of the bath-

You have to love sous vide to appreciate that pix.. We removed the skin, dried off the veggies and coated them with olive oil and baked at 450F until they were cooked and a little charred. Reduced the sauce.

We didn't take any plated pictures. :( 

Dessert, maple cheese cake, rich, rich, rich.

Finished dinner off with a specialty coffee, no pix :( 

This morning for breakfast it was leftovers for me with purple crack.

Then for dinner more leftovers except I cooked carrots. We found we didn't like the roasted veggies but the sauce was killer.

We both loved the chicken, it was tender and juicy. I would do this again in a heart beat the chicken and sauce were sooooooo tasty.

There was another piece of pie for dinner. ;)

Mac did you cut the whole chicken into pieces or just put it in the bag without piecing it out? Those pictures are wonderful, that  appetizer looks delicious.  So does that maple cheesecake! Ok I took a closer look at the picture and see the chicken is not pieced out, my bad. Those  mashed potatoes carrots and chicken look yuuuuuumy

Tekobo, I like those meals that keep on giving especially when they are as tasty as this one was. :)

 

Bruce, those potatoes were nicely creamed and as I mentioned that sauce was to die for can't wait to do a hot chicken sandwich. :)
