wait where did all my friends go?

Tobias is hands down Molly's most delightful guest

I’ve been making the original Chicken Marbella from the Silver Palate Cookbook by Julee Rosso & Sheila Lukins for about 25 years and never once thought of giving that treatment to a turkey…transformational!🎉 It just so happened that I had a turkey from the pre-Covid era (freezer diving) thawing in the fridge and thought, what do I have to loose? Zero! All gains. All these years and I’ve been like a crazy person meticulously peeling and puréeing garlic - “F” that. From now on we’re one cut across the equator and tossing ‘em in. The end result was a bronze gobbler that has never been more flavourful. Mind blown! There’s a few minor adjustments that I’ll make for the next time that come down to personal preferences and finagling with my ovens temperature, but other than that a winner, winner, turkey Marbella dinner. Thanks Molly for this video and breaking down the mental road block I had with regards to sticking strictly to this classic. I’m going to implement this thinking with more recipes going forward. Wishing you a happy thanksgiving weekend. Cheers!

this is the coolest most unexpected creative crossover! love seeing Tobias in the kitchen! now you've gotta have him teach you how to write a song, Moll. 😉

Molly thank you so much!! I made this yesterday and got compliments from everyone! Multiple people told me it was the best turkey they've ever had! And I'm not a person who cooks.

Molly is such a great and patient teacher, it’s so lovely to see the joy of cooking being shared

This was such a cool way to switch things up. Looks DELICIOUS!

Just made this recipe for the first time yesterday ! Thanks for all the details in your video, I took notes for every single part to translate in french an it worked perfectly ! That was a success ! 🥳 Thx Molly !

Favorite guest so far! Tobias seems so sweet and funny

I'm late to the party, but so happy to see you in the kitchen again, Molly! (You always were my fave! 😉)

Molly has the most exciting yet approachable style of cooking among all the KZfaq cooks! Such a great recipe!

Just made this dish today, came out amazing! Thanks Molly, will be doing this every year now.

thank you for introducing me to something i've never heard of for the holiday. looks like an amazing meld of complex flavors and textures!

So happy to see you back teaching us to cook 😃❤huge fan of you and Tuna!! My Trixxie is a long hair chocolate dapple doxie mini..plus we have 4 more doxies ..all short hair. Looking forward to seeing the finished turkey!! Happy holidays !!

I've been making Chicken Marbella and "Wings" Marbella since my worn out and stained Silver Palate Cookbook was practically brand new...it's a family favorite recipe. Leave it to you to do it with Turkey...it looks amazing. Thanks for the idea Molly and it's so good to have you back!

Good to see you! I've never heard of Marbella either. Looks delish🤗

Oh, nice. Just bought your book, can't wait to try this recipe.

You rock Molly!! Happy Thanksgiving

"This bitch is big" lol'ed at that imagining someone saying that back in the Food Network weekday primetime days

Made this in 2022, and my friend gave me a turkey in January 2024 to make it again. It’s the only way to have turkey.

After watching this yesterday, you made my Sunday dinner meal plan really easy. Since it’s just my husband and I, I opted for just one breast and halved everything else. Killin it, Molly Baz!! Happy Thanksgiving!

Looks lovely, will have to give this one a go soon.

omg. I love everything about this video. I am making this!

That turkey looks SO good.

Your cookbook literally taught me how to cook!! I use it like a study guide 😅

He’s good at following instructions!

Ugh of course my chef crush is friends with Tobias Jesso. What a life

I'll be your friend, Molly! Definitely inspired to make this for my family while turkey is on sale!

aww Tobias is a sweetheart

Tobias is a natural!

This reminds me of the BA test kitchen episode she did with The Editor in Chief Who Will Not Be Named and how this is a much more relaxing a vibe.

What a great idea, love chicken marbella, and definitely will try it with turkey. When you were going through what would be needed in the beginning, I had a major WTF moment when I thought you said "goose poop"! Had to go back and hear it again, ahhhh cous cous 😂! Anyway, another great recipe, thanks!

break it's legs! pop it's joints! you're KILLING it... literally 😂

Tobias? As in Jesso Jr? 😮 I mean only one of the most underrated singer songwriters out there!

Nailed it

I’m making this next week , STAT !

looks yummy 🥺

Cooking that not far away! Wow!

Marbella & i only think of Russian oligarch-wifes dressed in Dolce & Gabbana living life on the Spanish gold coast. But now i know that it is also a dish, thx..

the matching white t shirts and aprons is a nice touch

Molly, can you link the roasting pan? It looks like an All Clad, but what size? Thanks :)

11:45 exactly the same sh*t i say while in the kitchen 🤣

Holy crap this looks amazing I can't wait to try it! Been a fan for a while but I just ordered Cook This Book. Any tips for modifying this with GF couscous or rice (celiac here)? Thanks and keep making funny videos that inspire me to cook!

I’m making this today I praying it looks like this lol 🤞

Love the video but the audio is a little offset from each mic giving me robot vibes ;)

Just a little tip to anyone who wants to have a go at breaking down a turkey but has never done it before. Buy yourself a chicken and practice on that first. Its so much easier due to being smaller and lighter but has the same anatomy as a Turkey just on a smaller scale. That way you can learn how to butcher a bird, what to look for how to hold it and where to cut before you go anywhere near your huge expensive Turkey that you want to look amazing for Christmas or Thanksgiving. Dont worry it wont be wasted - you can try it in advance eat some that week freeze the cuts you dont use immediatly for later use AND even better roast off the carcass of the chicken makes some stock and freeze that and you have some ready in advance for your gravy for the big day or just to use from things like Rissoto. Not only that but normally buying a full bird is a lot cheaper than just buying a load of breasts/wings/crown etc already done so you save money while learning a new skill that you can use on any other bird get loads more meat for the same price and the option for homemade stock/schmultz (rendered down chicken fat - great for adding flavour!!) First time you do it its going to take you a little while but dont worry - the more you do it the more confidence you get and you will soon be breaking down a chicken/turkey in less than 5 minutes. Give yourselves a break try it on a chicken in advance save the holiday stress for something else and enjoy :)

Formal request to see more of Tuna in these vids. Thanks big fan!!

“I smell those prunes! We talkin’ turkey marbella??” “Yes, we are.” “HOO-AH”

Making this as we speak, make sure to temp your turkey often as we're finding the timings are off for our oven. Might have to drop the temp on the white meat cook halfway though to not dry things out.

Omg Tobias!!! :-)

gorgeoussss

Aren’t prunes usually used??? Are the dates really a good substitute???

I feel early to the party… Hi Molly!

Molly flinging gizzards around, lol

THE collab of my dreams!!!

Oh man, you’ve really gotta figure out the audio when using 2 lav mics in the future..

My husband won’t eat couscous so I might try this with rice, I’m thinking I need to parboil it for ten mins before adding, but it might throw off the balance of liquid and come out soupy. 🤔

I need mollys calf workout routine

Not a fan of dates. How do you feel about subbing dried apricots or pitted prunes? Thanks, Molly Baz.

How should you adjust for chicken? Sounds like a good winter meal outside of just Thanksgiving!!

Is there a reason you left the drums attached to the breast and then left them with the carcass?

Molly where did you get the kitchen apron?

in would like to see some more vegetarian recipes from you :)

Pepper Cannon!!!

Why wash the turkey first? I was taught never to wash poultry.

This looks fuckin incredible. I'm not normally a turkey guy, but I'd so eat that.

Mans has inspired me to just do anything. Cut that Turkey with no fear

I feel like nobody besides Molly cares about her incredible chef skills and delicious cooking. Ending was so sad. I hope next time you can find someone to celebrate the completed meal with you ❤

Oh YOU'RE the reason I can't find Diamond Kosher salt in any store in my area, you have it all in your cupboard.

I was positive some was gonna get cut while you guys were taking that turkey apart. Knife safety is a real thing

4:10 my mans cuts a turkey how Kendall Jenner cuts a cucumber.

Two mics running at 9 mins in, sounds a bit weird

Tobias as in Adele Tobias? 🤯

burnished hahahah

Blimey.

Give the pan a little shake? Like Chef John :)

Why do you pull the heads of garlic out? 🤔 there wasn’t a note on when to do that. Unless we’re just supposed to leave it in!

Molly you hit this out the park. the thighs look ridiculously delicious

I’m only here for Tuna

Molly, Could you just use this cooking method minus the cous cous?

Tall david dobrik 😂

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), you don’t need to wash your chicken. In fact, the CDC advises against washing raw meat, chicken, turkey and eggs because this can spread germs to your sink, countertops and other surfaces. Those germs could then get on other foods you’re preparing and make you sick.

That seems like a lot of fat for the couscous… half a cup of olive oil plus all the fat from the turkey. It’d give you the runs.

Does Molly remind anyone of Dakota Johnson? Am I the only one??

does molly live in a cult like compound? i love the cooking but the vibe around hem is kinda weird lol

Couscous? Welcome to LA. That roasting pan is bigger then my apartment, let alone my stove. But no shaking video or three camera jumps or moldy dairy products, so that is a plus. Who has room in the oven for this? What about stuffing? Is this what Thanksgiving looks like in LA? Couscous? BTW nice tan. Do not worry I still ¨liked¨ it and will follow. Who is Tobias? Where is Tuna? And the potty mouth and F bombs? But all in all good recipe, we all should know that thighs take longer to cook. that is what the bacon wrap, butter soaked cheese cloth, butter under the skin......remember the plastic bags? Oh God, Midwestern cooking is so difficult.

yum
