If you’re still buying boneless, skinless chicken breasts, this episode might change your life. Marcus and Chef Matthew Dolan break down everything you need to know about cooking a whole chicken. From why it’s cheaper (way cheaper) to how to break it down, cook each part properly, and actually get better flavor at home. They get into roasting techniques, why low and slow beats high heat, how to get crispy skin without drying out the meat, and the right way to use a thermometer without overcooking your chicken. Plus, you’ll learn what to do with every single part of the bird, from making stock to the chef-only secret: the oyster. If you want to cook smarter, waste less, and eat better, this is where it starts.
