I don't post many comments on KZfaq, but this one is a must. I am a man in my early 60's, I literally do all the cooking in our home, and have always done so (with the understanding that my wife cleans up). This video is 100%, absolutely, without question, exactly as advertised. This was probably the best roast chicken I've ever prepared. It was super juicy, tender as butter, and extraordinarily simple and fast. I DID use an enameled Dutch oven, and it worked flawlessly. My congratulations and sincere thanks to "Cast Iron Chaos," and please keep these superb and perfectly explained recipes coming. You have a new fan....... make that fans. Our son dined with us tonight, he wholeheartedly agrees, and we'll be buying a Dutch oven for our son's home and his family!

Absolutely magnificent… follow this recipe to the last detail, no adjustment necessary. So quick, so simple and the best result I’ve ever had. No cavity stuffing, no brine, no ‘under the skin’ concoction, no basting… just a a perfect result.

This is a good simple recipe. No vegetables, just the chicken and good excuse for me to buy a cast iron pot. Seriously, that is a perfect recipe

works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside kzfaq.infoUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and not the one with coating. we used to have a coated pot before, and the coating slowly peels, and i am sure went into the food that we cooked. Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.

Over one year ago I bought an iron cast dutch oven and today was the first time I used it-roasting a chicken according to this video. I was a little sceptical-I thought that the high temperature might burn the chicken too much, but the only way to find out was to try it. I diligently followed all the steps-the only exception was using curry powder instead of paprika. I can honestly say that NEVER BEFORE had I such a JUICY chicken!!! It was excellent!

I’m making it tonight in my enamel coated Dutch oven rated safe up to 500 but with the cost I paid for the pot I am going to do 480. Looks good. Hot and fast. I will let you know how it turns out for those who want to use enameled coated cast iron Dutch oven. Update: made it last night as mentioned above. Baked at 480 for the first 40 min but was not browning the skin. Got brave and went to 500 convection roast,uncovered it and browned up beautifully. It was a large 5 lb chicken and turned out perfect. The internal temp was spot on. I must say this is the best chicken I have ever had. The breast was so moist and the thigh area had no red juices. I seasoned the skin with a lot of salt pepper paprika powdered garlic parsley and basil. Added olive oil to the herb mixture and rubbed it all over. The flavor was a amazing. I’m not a big fan of sage rosemary. Sometimes less herbs is better for me anyway. A must try recipe.

This is the best chicken I've ever had. Just got the Dutch oven for my birthday. God bless you for this recipe ❤ Edit June 14 Made this again for my chicken and dumplings. Holy smokes it was soooooo good! I've never cooked a whole chicken this well or this quickly until I found your video. Thank you! I will be using this as the standard method from now on.

This was PERFECTLY explained and demonstrated. So I tried it in an enamel cast iron pot with a lid. I did everything just as you said and it was THE best chicken I've ever made. It was a 4.5 lb Organic FRYER chicken. I usually struggle to keep it moist, can't ever seem to get it to cook evenly and each time I had to insert a thermometer to test the temp, the juices used to drip out. Not anymore!!! THANKS SO MUCH for this. AND I made a fantastic gravy with the drippings. Well done video

I used an enameled Dutch oven, a 4.8 lb. chicken that I dry-brined, rubbed with smoked paprika, pepper, garlic granules, thyme, oregano and rosemary. Otherwise followed your instructions to the letter (except for separately preheating the DO lid and pot), and ended up with probably the best chicken we’ve tasted, with an easy cleanup! The speed, simplicity and flavor of this technique alone justify the purchase of the Dutch oven. Thank you!

Just made this roast chicken recipe tonight and it was fabulous. I did, however, put several large sprigs of rosemary in the cavity. They didn't slow the cooking time and were a wonderful addition to the flavor. Thanks for the recipe.

Beautiful old Griswold Dutch Oven!

Every time I go to make this recipe I re-watch the video to make sure I'm doing it right. You'd think after 8 or 9 times making this over the past couple of years that I'd remember, but I never do.. I think this is the BEST roast chicken.. I even went out and purchased a lodge un-enameled cast iron pan just for this recipe. It's perfect!! Now if I could find a cast Iron bread recipe that cooks at 500 degrees so I could do BOTH at the same time that'd BE GREAT!! Thank you for publishing this video.. I wish more people could try this recipe, see how easy it is and how awesome the results are!

Made this today! Turned out incredible. Will be making this often! I truly enjoy your videos and your cast iron knowledge!

Awesome chicken! This is my second time making this chicken. Thanks so much😊

Boy that really looks perfect! Thanks for sharing this!

Looks amazing! Another great video. Thank you!

I'm going to use this one for sure. Thanks a million!

Put your Dutch oven and the lid side by side in the oven and you will get a more even Heat and without that smoke coming in your face also.

This looks easy and really good. Thank you!

Awesome and simple thanks! Making it again today.

Gonna have to try this one. Looks amazing.

I’ve made chicken this way several times and comes out amazing! Thank you for sharing!

Awesome! Long time spatchcocker but decided to give this a try and it was perfect! Juicy and cooked through and the cleanup was much easier than I had expected, used my Lodge 5 Quart Double Dutch Oven.

Looks great 👍 I will give this a try

Thanks for a great recipe!...your videos are the best!!!...Cheers!!!!!!

Looks awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Great job! Great job! thanks for sharing.

Done this several times now. Perfect

Done, easy and delicious, thanks

Wow thanks so much so that's how you get that crispy on the outside moist on the inside chicken. Luv this intro💜

That looks delicious!

What a fabulous idea

Really good chicken color for the skin. Love the sound of that sizzle.

Amazing. All chicken was cooked through and moist. Smoked paprika in the rub was perfect. I put in rwo potatoes on the grill next to the Dutch oven at 20 minutes to go. One was done, the other I nuked for two minutes to get it softer. Will put potatoes in at 25 minutes to go next time. Made a tasty spinach salad to complete the meal. Easiest chicken I ever cooked. Thanks!

That makes so much sense and looks so good, it's probably illegal. 🐔😋👍

oh, I will be trying this very soon. Thank you

I've been looking for a recipe just like this! Thank you! New Sub here.

Thanks my man. This was very nice and easy.

Absolutely this is roast chicken without peer! I use a 3.2 quart Lodge chicken fryer with a 3.5-4 pound bird. Amazing, amazing, amazing! Thank you for the recipe!

THIS IS AMAZING!!! Holy crap. Thank you for this recipe. It tasted so good.

Great idea. Love it 😀 😍

From fridge to table in under 1 hour. This recipe is easy to follow and it works. Awesome tasting chicken without much work. Thank you for sharing.

I reckon Vivaldi had some dang purty cast iron. Chicken came out so good my kids agreed to eat it.

I just bought a dutch oven and I've been looking for recipes to try! I'm gonna try this tonight!

Good plan. I like that you told us what the rub is made of. A nice meal we can afford.

This is perfect!!

Superb, thanks for sharing

looks delicious

Used this recipe yesterday! It came out delicious!! Thanks!!

Absolutely delicious!!! The chicken was cooked perfectly ! I added some precooked potatoes to Roast when took the lid off!!!loverly!!!

Going to make this tonight. Looks delicious.

I'm gonna give this one a go for sure. Just got a 5qt Dutch Oven and this will be it's initiation into its future of cast iron goodness. Yea who wants to clean an oven of splattered chicken grease anyway. It's my 1st Dutch Oven a Lodge my wife has about 9 enameled Dutch Ovens I use them too but I prefer regular seasoned cast iron over enameled lol. Thanks for the recipe.

Followed your instructions to the letter. It is the absolutely best roast chicken I’ve ever prepared. Thanks.

OMG looks so delicious 🤤🤤

This is my second comment! My chicken was small, 3.22lbs so it cooked fast it reached 155° around22 min then I took off lid and cooked 5 min. When I took it out I removed from the pan and let it rest while I made my side dishes! OMGOODNESS! NEVER COOK A CHICKEN ANY OTHER WAY. I PUT A WHOLE ONION CUT IN HALF AND LET OT SIT IN THE PAN WITH THE LID ON AN IT IS CARMELIZED AND DELICIOUS IN THE CHICKEN FAT!!!

Best chicken ever, my wife loves it...thanks

Great looking Roast Chicken 👍Going to cook this for my channel!

That's awesome - 👍👍

Reminder to myself: (keep coming back to this video :p) 260 degrees Celsius 40 minutes Without lid for another 5 minutes for crispness

Thankyou, Eric! I now make chicken like this once a week, at least. Spot on each and every time. Priceless. :-)

Thanks for sharing this. I'm just getting into cast iron and would love to try it. I must say your voice and cadence remind me of a LOT of Jon Lovitz. Please don't take it the wrong way. I think it adds to the videos

That chicken looks delicious. I'm glad that I stumbled upon your KZfaq channel. I wonder if you could do a turkey like this in a larger dutch oven?

Excellent 👌

I made this today for the first time, very good! Will try it again for sure. The chicken sure did sing when it hit that screaming hot iron!

OUTSTANDING!!! I've been doing this outside with my camp ovens and I keep forgetting to try the indoor oven... Of to the store for a chicken. Thank you for reminding me

Did this cook today worked great easy one pot clean up and chicken was 10++++ thanks for the Video.

Well done. I’m making one for dinner tomorrow. 🍻

It was so good recipe i just follow every step and the result Awesome!!! But the thing you guys have to understand your own oven and try to get on your own way. Because every home oven it is not same.Thanks a lot for share your recipe.

Your bird is dripping with juice from the first slice. I just finished breakfast I'm running to cook me a chicken.

Best chicken I have every made. Great recipe. I have two dutch ovens so I can cook 2 at a time in the same oven to feed more people :)

Sooooo doing this !!! Mahalo from Hawaii!!

Bravo that looked amazing! I’m gonna have to try that haven’t made a chicken video yet. Superb job!👍 Bryan (Little Art’s Bbq)

Looks awesome! Juicy and tender. Great evidence of the importance of good technique! Can you believe some folks eat dry chicken?

Looks great. I have a cast iron dutch oven but I will choose to use my large vintage Magnalite roaster. I hope it works. I am cooking a Green Circle large chicken ordered from D'Artagan. Yum.

Well done 👍

Thank you so much. I was going to bbq a couple chickens on the Weber kettle, but alas, it's raining. This video just saved me from alot of angry friends!

Receta sencilla y deliciosa. El pollo me quedó jugoso y la piel tostada. Mi cast iron dutch oven funcionó a la perfección!. Gracias por sus consejos de cocina! 🙂😌

What a good video. So clear and concise. Can you use an enameled cast iron dutch oven to do this? I'm asking as I was always told to not heat an enameled pot on high heat if it was dry... but I would like to try this; I just don't want to ruin my pot.

Did this tonight for dinner, I thought 500 would be too hot but no. It was perfect

wonderful!

I made this tonight. BEST roasted chicken I've ever made, and I've made a few! Breast meat was moist but the thigh was cooked all the way. I used a $10 flea market Le Creuset. Great technique, and my oven wasn't a big mess. Thank you.

Dam. I did 2 chick ees in my 12qt.. dutch oven...it turned out aweasome. Thxs for the recipe. 👍👍👍

MAN! This can't be done any Simple, and it looks good! Thumbs Up! Have U ever done this outside, and how long should Dutch Oven stays in the oven B4 you add the Chicken, B4 Cooking?

nice presentation......take care

my mouth is watering

Great video, I am trying this soon! Have you ever made a spatchcock chicken? Which CI piece would you use for that recipe?

Terrific. You talked me into a cast iron dutch oven and I wanted to make the best pintos ever made; cannot find any videos by you for beans in the dutch oven. If someone has a suggestion, just reply. Thanks.

Seems like a good way to build seasoning too!!
