Thanks for your support, for watching our videos, and for sharing our family table each week.
James runs that household. The parents just work to please him and not piss him off😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Screw Michelin. The new 3-star standard is: "But will a Teenager eat it and not complain?"
since this is based on a third party video it would be not only nice, but also correct, to include a link to the said video so we can watch both and actually appreciate the diferences on our own, not just taking your word for it
Looked amazing to me. I prefer the breast.
lol, kids say the darndest things but todays teen's can be brutal!! good luck jim. I've to Rao's several times
my brother inherited my dads table,and you did the dish proud. I agree chicken is crazy I paid$$$$ for the
best and found it so different in texture and flavor. growing up I loved perdu chicken and today? no thank you.
your a great cook, I learn so much from you. J
When does James start his own channel critiquing other people’s cooking?
This guy reminds me of Jeremy Piven.
I have made this dish before.. very easy to make and it’s delicious.
I have Rao’s cookbook and I just looked at the recipe. The cookbook version uses 2 cups of fresh lemon juice and 1 cup of olive oil in addition to the other ingredients. I made this once using Rao’s cookbook recipe and I didn’t like it. It was just sour chicken. I wanted to like it, but it wasn’t good and it’s the only recipe I ever made from the book. I’m going to try your version. Thanks!
Around 11:30 the look on Jim's face when James said it was good
Very subtle moment but it was moving
Yo James! What are you doing putting that Wi-Fi cutting board on top of that butcher block ? Make it right bro !
What’s the pan you’re using? It looks like a nice large pan!
his son is so honest lmao. reminds me of my kid, a pasta and bread lover too!
Same recipe for Greek style over roasted lemon potatoes.
Hot tip : absolutely go nuts on the lemon and olive oil dressing. More is absolutely wayyyy better.
And it's not a "sauce" 😂
James’s breathing worries me. Just being a mom, but I worry every time.
Slammed
The bread is cold! 😂😂😂
Love the honesty ❤❤❤❤❤❤
With dark meat that chonky, you really do need to cook it until close to 200F. It's hard to ruin dark meat with heat. Makes your chicken less rubbery and it's still juicy.
I can't wait to make this but only using skin on chicken breasts so the cooking time is more consistent.
Looks like a great addition to the roast chicken repertoire – tend to do the whole roast chicken Keller style with the Zuni bread salad but this looks really good and straightforward. And as a father of several expressive teenagers, this made me actually LOL.
Hey – Love the honesty…doubt most vloggers would post that. That's realistic cooking in a nutshell…Looked delicious and healthy to me and I will try it for sure – but cooking chicken is very tricky I've found.
500 degrees?! That's like the cleaning setting. Lol
Well if James says it's good, I guess I'll give it a try.😂
Seriously James, one of the best cooking channels out there. Direct and to the point but also points out those little, tiny details that make a difference without being disrespectful and condescending. As we all know, for those of us who love to cook at home, there are few things worse than spending extra money and time on recipes and ingredients and the dish underwhelms. Love from North Dakota brother!
Honestly James is such a great taste tester
No thanks, not liking this. Sorry.
"The bread's kinda cold though"💀💀
I hope you're doing ok. You just don't seem quite like yourself. I'm going to enjoy making this recipe. Thank you.
Love your videos.
James is probably going to end up becoming that food contest judge that’s difficult to please and the world hates (but secretly loves)
This is the kid who prefers a box of Kraft Mac n Cheese over any other cuisine. Why is he the tasting judge at the end of these videos? Just give him the bread and left over sauce to sop.
My money on James plays lacrosse.
Use mayo to emulsify, not dijon. It's already emulsified, and it's basically oil, egg and vinegar.
Am curious how long you would roast boneless skinless thighs if you sub them in this recipe?
😊👍
Kids! You gotta love them. 😂
The original recipe is on the food network site. The owner of Rao's was on the Sara Moulton show years ago and they posted the recipe. You were close with your recipe. One big difference, everything is done under the broiler, 15 minutes per side. Also, the recipe calls for two chickens. After cutting up place everything back on a sheet pan and pour the sauce over, broiler as recipe says, about 4 minutes. Plate the chicken and finish the sauce in a hot saucepan with chopped fresh parsley for 1 minute, pour sauce over the chicken. They used to sell the bottled sauce in stores, it was excellent. The recipe is outstanding. You can grill the chicken but you wouldn't have the juices and fat from the chicken.(Unless you placed a pan under the chicken as it grills). Very important for the sauce.
I always get such a kick out of James’ candor 😂. Also, that ease of back and forth between him and his dad says a huge amount about their family dynamics and relationships. Love to see it! ❤
With his NY-NJ accent, the host sounds like comedian Jim Florentine. 😂
Lol..he sure ate it like it was edible 😅
James is cool and reminds me of my teen lol
Top tip James – don't use a white top for taste-testing 🤣 — good honest feedback 👍
So… always warm the bread. Got it.
Rao's lemon chicken is my favorite. You make it look soooooo good.
I love the honesty. I am making this recipe for my family. Keep 'em coming…
How dare he give his honest opinion!😂
