Gordon Ramsay: How to Part a Chicken

[Zidana123]

Huh. I wonder how fast he could process that chicken if he didn't need to explain the steps.

40 seconds, tops?

[lolipopcupcake]

what knife brand did you use? it looks very easy to cut the chicken

[YoonaNo1Fan]

@lolipopcupcake its his skill haha

[lolipopcupcake]

@YoonaNo1Fan i'm also YoonA's fan!! hihi. btw, i love how Mr Ramsay cook.everything looks easy

[YoonaNo1Fan]

@lolipopcupcake Yoona jjang haha

[Merrida100]

This was so the wrong video to watch when I'm scheduled to get hip implant. Listening to him speak and the sounds of him cutting through the bone and flesh,...damn, talk about bad time to look up idea on what I can cook while I'm rehabbing. Urgh.

[MrRandomppl]

i like my girlfriend's roll royce parts, lucky me they are phantoms not ghosts :P

[Tanaen]

eating part of the wish bone doesnt sound very yummy

[MrBagginsEsq]

Any releasion to DAve Ramsey?

[Klipschrf35]

3:08 999999 That's how ramsey smacks his bitch up

[alcadm4a123]

1:38  555555555

[edi919]

very graphic content ... this should be flagged as inappropriate for birds.. my chicken can't sleep anymore ...

[MrXonina]

i somehow think that he REALLLLY needed to pee.he couldnt stand still hahaha

[hellishheavin101]

@MrXonina I belive Gordan has some form of OCD lol

[peeweesherman]

Next time, mention the oysters and the tenders, also how to do supreme' or "airline" cut and I'll favorite it like 90 times.

[tweetums0914]

I really love the 0:01-0:04 of it :)

[jbadal1]

That poor little chick will never grow-up and experience that 1st date feeling.

[DBTM138]

this video changed my life

[xeeloveanil]

@DBTM138 hahaha...how??



[etocadet]

i do love how he doesnt just show us how to make a complicated 3 course meal, but actually shows us the basics of doing scrambled egg, sharpening a knife and parting a chicken

[Ulubai]

never noticed this before but this guy is super ADD, watch him jump around playing with the chicken before he starts doing anything, then he gets focused and starts calming down a little bit

[Zugaraloha]

Real great for me, TKS

[retrotw]

i always thought breast is the least tasty part of a chicken...and i still stand by it...

its just meaty...but not as delicate as the brown meaty parts of the chicken...

[aphrodite77777]

Oh the POOR chicken! The poor, CHICKEN! The poor, poor BIRD!

I could never, EVER do such a thing..... I feel like a monster just chopping the bird!

[chhuong1]

@aphrodite77777 the chicken is die get over it and EAT IT JESUS!

[dickspace1]

@aphrodite77777 Everyone who dies will be born again as chickens 10-20 times before they can be born as a human again. Higher chance of being born as chicken as its the most eaten meat in the world. So just EAT IT...(burp!)

[cookiesluvkreme]

"Two breasts... of chicken."

:)

[GMAN2187]

Is it just me, or this guy looks wired

[RichardForkins]

It sounded sexy until he started talking about popping the joint out.

[BossCrunk]

What an absolute hack job on a chicken. Pathetic. The key to processing the breast is to remove the keel bone first which makes cutting perfectly even breasts possible. No way those breasts Ramsay processed would have a lick of skin on them after sauteeing. No way. Totally bludgeoned.

Check out the Gourmet Online video with Ian Knauer if you want to see how to break a chicken down without all the hacking, bouncing, shucking, and jiving.

[ib9rt]

@BossCrunk Huh? Ian Knauer followed basically the same steps as Ramsay except he made extra work of the breasts. So there's more than one way to cut up a chicken. Use whichever way works for you, and don't be so persnickety about different ways of doing things.

[insochmo]

@BossCrunk damnit, didn't see this until I was done jointing/hacking that poor bird the Ramsey way. It didn't turn out too bad considering it's my first time, but definitely following that Ian Knauer video next time - looks a lot easier and more precise. cheers for that

[BossCrunk]

@insochmo

You have to deal with the keel bone or you simply are doing it correctly. Glad you liked the video; I'll dring a toast to even chicken breasts - not one 1/3 smaller than the other (and this sure has hell makes a difference if they are being cooked at the same time for the same dish.

Cheers!

[shaolinlueb]

what kind of knife does he use?

[weffulon6]

@shaolinlueb as in Type or brand? looks like a regular chefs knife as to what brand it is who cares you pick a knife thats right for you not one that celebrity chefs use just becasue they use it

[f22fighter12]

"Open up the legs" hehe ;)

[SuperPolarbear16]

Killer

[RedmanATI]

This chef sniffed some

[zoomshinysnail]

I don't understand why people get disappointed when he's not screaming and swearing at everything in his path. The only reason he gets so mad at people when they cook is because he is passionate about what he does. If people felt as strongly as he does about food they might be able to prepare it better because anything less is sort of a disgrace to the food and the people who are going to eat it.

[CrackHamsters]

SO FUCKING HUNGRY OMFG

[foucker2]

they dont let him piss before the show

[bryuko]

"And not an ounce of waste." My favorite part.

[bmaxaus]

@bryuko his greatest asset as a chef and restaurant owner is that they waste nothing.. they even season over plates to be sure... a man who knows his stuff

[MrLynkz84]

Gordon what a legend!

[chefkoo]

Don't go through the wish bone. Take it out completely first before you break down the chicken. That way you get no waste, and you don't have a piece of wish bone stuck in the breast.

[bmaxaus]

@chefkoo exactly!!! all those bones can be removed cleanly and with haste... no need to fuck around sawing through all that shite..

[BurnOutXL]

I watch his shows all the time. I don't understand why he wasn't screaming at that lazy fu**ing chicken.

Get outta the kitchen you fat lazy bastard! That's not risotto?!

[shad0h027]

@BurnOutXL he could have told the chicken "You're f@cking RAW!"

[TheDukeOfCastleWolf]

Thank you so much Chef!!!

[hilho18]

Gordon, there is waste!!!! You don't know your chickens...well enough!

Within the carcass there is a 2 delicious bloody bits, in the tail there is really nice bits too, aaaaand, under the carcass there are the 2 most succulent pieces of the chicken meat.

[SKoreanDJ]

@hilho18 he said he's gonna use the carcass for stock.... -_-

chill

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

@hilho18

All of which is will be using to flavour a stock.

The best stocks, of course, use bones AND meat.

[Anguis79]

@hilho18

But he uses that for stock. And so do I!

Thank you Gordon, your cooking tips are really good.

[GeneralDAS]

The reason Gordon is always jittery and moving around is because he is used to the environment of a hectic and non-stop-action kitchen, where a high level of energy is essential.

[yowanindia]

Now stop jumping ... go and take a piss finally!!!

[cprobosteuribe]

I have worked in a restaurant kitnchen once and it is madness most of the time, Gordon Ramsay DOES know what's he doing there.

Cheers to the master

[mrrawrlicious]

Lawl Step 1: Open up the legs!

[mrrawrlicious]

This is definitely harder than it looks, especially for novices...like me xD

[uckushtar]

I'm sorry but you don't get 16 michelin stars by not knowing what the hell you're doing. Everyone is a pro when they sit on their asses and have never worked in a kitchen before. Put yourself in a kitchen prepping for 15 hours a day then come and talk about how Gordon Ramsay doesn't know what he's doing.

[DrMantecol]

@uckushtar That's fucking true

[Zephilindrum]

It's a pretty good tutorial for beginners, but if you wanna step it up a little, learn Martin Yan's method. He does it in like 17 seconds.

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

@Zephilindrum

I like to watch really fast tutorials that make the tutor look more like a show off than a tutor.

[cm101981]

He just put his finger on the edge of the blade!

[blackunity143]

sharp knives

[BreadForButter]

lol he ripped it apart, this is like a horror movie for chickens

[kimaste]

this guy couldnt beat any of the iron chefs. he would get owned.

[MinhSaChau]

@kimaste LAWL. Gordon Ramsey currently holds a total of 16 Michelin stars and is currently 3rd worldwide of having the highest amount.

[faithless1976]

he's good...

[faithless1976]

he's good...

[Sharebyakuya]

I had a dull knife but it ended up alright for a first try XD

[Sharebyakuya]

I have no shark knife .__.

[LordGabon]

The thing that makes this look so easy is he has a REALLY good quality knife.  Most of the problem people have with de-jointing poultry comes from having a dull-edged blade. I personally use a Chinese-style cleaver (ah, Chef Ting, one day I'll match you!), but they require a LOT of maintenance.

Also, I think the reason he's sawing through them is to just demonstrate it for amateurs. You have to saw before you can slice, and if people see slicing they'll go straight for that...

[19dec1981]

my chicken was watching this and he fainted.

criminals!

[loyalfalconflutist]

now I want some chicken :P

[gameshowguy2000]

@gvenema

No doubt about that; he even bones it faster (he asks the audience to time it for 18 seconds to make sure he's doing it right).

[RoundHerosProduction]

well he is one of the best chefs in the world so i say fuck you to everyone who makes fun of his way to prepare food. he probably know how to cook much better than you can, cause hes one of the best chefs in the world

[mattiboy1990]

ive never heard him speaking so calmly haha

[anadryantontine]

Trust me, I've been training as a chef for a little while now, and this could be one of the hardest things to do for a beginner. Ramsay does it like a champ and puts everyone I know to shame.

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

@anadryantontine

Do you find that things you struggle with at first suddenly become second nature?

I remember my first few attempts at chicken. Took about 10 minutes and was shit. Now it takes seconds.

Everything I struggled with in my first year, even stuff I never managed to actually complete or do successfully, I can now do like riding a bike.

[grey2fox]

did he forget to go to the toilet before shooting this video?

[imjkyounoob]

God he's so gorgeous..

[born2juice4ever]

I have a lot of his videos saved in my files...this one is very good too. Yes he does love food....you must love food in order to be an amazing chef.

Food is my passion, and is my life too.

[DWarrior4]

He really loves what he does, its great to see that

[StarWoors]

@DWarrior4

I think that once I'm over the screaming and cursing I could actually enjoy working with him. :)

[DaRkLoRdZoRc]

When he's slicing the thighs and the wings, is he cutting between the joints or straight through them?

[htan]

he's cutting it in between.

if cutting through them, you'd need to chop with the knife, which he mentions you don't need to do

[doomsdaymonster7]

@htan the joint contains 2 bones separated by cartilage, I believe. You can slice through the place where they join. There's a soft area there

[ihazl33tskillzdwi]

@DaRkLoRdZoRc He breaks the joints before he cuts trough the lean, except for the wishing bone, he cuts trough that ^_^

[nameUnavailab1e]

Why is he dancing at the beginning? is he dodging a sniper?

[ladyamerias]

i love this video. i never knew how to do it before.

[Enderwiggan1]

he's got style the bastard

[p0giboi]

this save you alot of money if you know how to cut our meat right

[formando]

when i do mine

i dont cut through the bone attached to the knuckle

i remove it and still leave a clean bone i think it looks alot better :)

[GSBConstantine]

there was so much waste on that it was unreal.

its amazing how meny good chefs cant do this, they always manage to leave some flesh on the chicken. "not an ounce of waste" my arse. dont get me wrong, i <3 ramsay but giving bad advice is baaaad.

[formando]

how is their any waste if the whole chicken is being used?

[GSBConstantine]

pause it when it shows u the carcas after he takes the breats off. see under the breast bone? also there is still flesh where the breasts were too.

not too trivial if your just doing 1 chicken. but if you have say,10 chickens to prep, and 1 chicken is 1kg and your leaving say, 20g on each one. by the time u have preped all 10 chickens, you would have left 200g of chicken on the carcases, when u could have got another portion from it. allowing you to sell more portions, making more profit.

[GSBConstantine]

being a chef is all about knowing how to make profit, and how to maximise on your resources. especialy if your not ramsay and dont have a £56mill bankroll :P

[formando]

true but all the chicken is being used the carcases are going to be used ased stock :p

[GSBConstantine]

yeah but your gonna pass your stock through a musilin cloth anyways so its not like your getting alot out of it, you want the carcases for the bones mainly, for the natural Gelatin in them, not the flesh.

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

@GSBConstantine

2 parts water to 1 part solids by weight will yield a hefty amount of water, even when passed through muslin cloth. All the flavour has come out of the solids, so it isn't needed. You then have flavoured water (very cheap) that can serve many more people than a scrag of chicken flesh.

By making a stock, I can get 16 portions from one chicken. Your scrags of flesh will barely feed 2.

[GSBConstantine]

@p3rs0nan0ngrata 16 portions? at what weight a portion off the bone.

[DerDrache]

@GSBConstantine

Sounds like you've never cut a chicken. If you bring the knife down between the breasts and keep it close to the breast bone, you will slice off all of the meat underneath.

[GSBConstantine]

sounds like you dont know how to make money as a chef. good luck with that one dude.

[DerDrache]

@GSBConstantine

Stop trying to show off. There's a tiny amount of meat on the back, and that's just good for stock. Sure, if you're starving you should cook the entire bird and get every last shred of meet and tissue, but the stuff that you want in a respectable dish is all in the breasts and legs.

[KeMiSTv1]

He's doing it slow for the viewers you retard..De-jointing a chicken is actually very hard to get perfect...I try to always de-joint the chickens i buy more value for the money.

[GSBConstantine]

its stupidly easy dude, like realy. if your taught correctly, it realy is a streak of piss.

[bmaxaus]

god. whats with the sawing action? ive seen apprentices conquer chicken twice as good as that...

[htan]

maybe because he doesn't prep chickens for hours a day?

i dunno, just a thought

[Shadow194]

@htan Yeah, but parting a chicken is easy, and he does a good job.. but its not perfect.

[iftikharkazi]

@htan He is TEACHING how to bone a chicken. Probably he can do it in less than 30 secs and moreover he is somebody who makes standards his top priority.

[bmaxaus]

@htan cmon man... im sure he has done enough and i have seen his knife skills... strange... he's like ginsu at times, im a fan but fuck!!

[chaddykins69]

@htan also he's using a chefs knife instead of a de-boneing knife...

[balogh12]

u retard if hes doing it that fast no one will freakin see what hes doing

[parpm]

bouncy.. maybe high! haha He's been into drugs for sure lol like bourdain

[KeMiSTv1]

@parpm Actually he rarely even drinks alcohol his father was a raging violent alcholic that would beat his mother and is against chefs that smoke..and considering his brother has been in and out of rehab for years because of a serious Heroin addiction and may have even died from it.. I'm pretty sure Chef Ramsay is very against drug use.

[parpm]

that was just a joke mate.. I'm his fan! ;)

[familyphotoshoot]

Very cool tip for the legs.

[Bambiezbotron]

I like that he's really into not wasting anything, and saving money.

[califuz]

He makes it look so FUCKIN easy

[souldude81]

@califuz It is easy with practice.

[semayetoktingga]

@califuz It is easy actually :)

[zavy1987]

doesn't he ever make mistakes? he's amazing...

[1384450244679]

lol gordon's so bouncy :) so full of energy

[hsuanstr]

@1384450244679 or cocaine
