Why did the chicken cross the road? Probably to escape Alton Brown, who seems intent on defining the perfect broiled chicken that's out of the oven and bathed in sauce in under half an hour.

Recipes featured in this episode: Broiled, Butterflied Chicken.

  • Bobby Flay doesn't teach. And AB created his "type" of tv chef. Never existed before him.

    Hes Bill Nye for food.

  • Alton is a teacher, Morimoto is a warrior, Flay is a joke.

  • that compitition show Flay had ended up giving me a lot of good ideas for cooking, but yea, Alton is the man.

  • In all fairness he does say all ovens are different and you can bet he has the best.

  • Try to boil the "juices" and put in some cream and serve the sauce with the chicken and some potatoes.

  • @Loonieburger2 I wish I had seen your comment. I just tried this & it didn't work for me either. We ended up cooking the chicken an extra 40 minutes too & it was a bloody mess. I just gave up & threw the whole thing in a stock pot, am making roasted chicken stock as I'm writing this, for soup later. Very annoying but hopefully the stock turns out, I can't see why it wouldn't given that it's being made with an entire roasted chicken! Hopefully we'll both have better luck next recipe. :-)

  • Love AB's stuff. Have learned much over the years and replicated many of his recipes with great success. This one, however, does not work. I've tried it in a few different ovens and it doesn't cook evenly. The sides, drums, and insides of the wings are under cooked. It takes longer than his original 18 min prior to flipping; longer than 10-12 post-flip; and once it looks beautiful, it still requires ages to cook. There must be another step that isn't included in the video that I'm missing.

  • When he was cutting open and stuffing the bird, my brain conjured the image of a disected frog. Thanks brain.

  • @MrsJennDavids Most home broilers aren't very strong. I had to cook mine longer, but it came out juicy. Sorry it didn't work out, this is absolutely delicious and so much healthier than frying, which is what I was raised on.

  • @frankbombs Alton Brown describes himself as a "food mechanic" rather than a chef; he came out of TV, and only received culinary training as part of his preparation for Good Eats. Unlike most cooking shows, the viewer is 'standing right there', and is expected to be more than slightly clueless about what goes on in a kitchen. This 'I am going to explain *everything* to you, because you apparently know nothing about cooking' attitude is, IMHO, what makes learning from him so gosh-darned easy.

  • " Time to temp fate" LOL after watching this episode a dozen times i just noticed that

  • That is not stuffing it is filling because stuffing is evil !
