The Slow Fire Chef Ep 11: CHICKEN POT ROAST

Image
  Junior Chef Amit attempts a new recipe for CHICKEN POT ROAST with loads of confusion, kitchen accidents and being clueless about the end result. Thankfully and luckily for him, the Pot Roast and Herb De Provence sauce comes out delicious and his skin is saved. Three lessons learned: 1. Never use a new sharp knife if you are not super careful in the kitchen and good with knives. 2. In the recipe, do not use excessive and sliced wedges of lemons. Use one lemon whole, without being sliced and place it inside the chicken while steaming. Discard it later. 3. If you prefer the chicken pot roast to be more brown, do not steam it for more than 10-15 minutes and brown it in a non stick pot. New episode every week, mostly every Friday.
