How to Serve & Present Chicken in a Pot

Video Transcript

My name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'm going to show you how to make the traditional French classic dish poule au pot or chicken in a pot. Okay, now I'm going to show you the presentation on a small plate just to give you an idea of how you want to build it up. Obviously you want to serve this with other things besides this. You would serve it with a vegetable or maybe with a salad. So I'll just take a couple of my potatoes here. What the potatoes are going to do is they're going to act as kind of a building block. So I'm going to take the chicken and place it right on top. And like I said, normally if this were going to be a regular dish you would have a full sized plate, you would have your other vegetables and stuff. I'm just giving you an idea of how to mount the chicken up, how to make the chicken stand up on its own. And so we're actually going to take some of that, that gravy we just made, which is supposed to be really thin, it's almost like a dju almost. And we're just going to put some of that underneath. I'm not going to put it on top though, because if you put it on top of the chicken, you're forcing someone to eat it. And if it's something they don't like, then, you know, you're forcing them to eat it. If it's underneath, you can kind of eat around it still. But you can see I've got a nice, beautiful brown color here, I've got just nice juicy chicken, I mean you can see how shiny it is right here from all the juice coming out of it. You know you've got the potatoes there and they're kind of mounting it up. Also as a good starch you can see I've got little pieces of the garlic and the other herbs that kind of broke down right here in the sauce. Really really great dish. This is a dish you could really use to impress somebody, or a group of people if the case may be. And also the good thing is you're cooking a whole chicken so you're automatically serving, you know, at least four people, or two really really really hungry people. And you know, it's a really, really, really great dish, but nice classical French stuff. But anyway, I hope you enjoyed watching the video. I enjoyed making it. And look for more of my videos on Expert Village. Until then, have a good one.
