Cooking and tasting the most expensive chicken in France (Bresse poulard)

Join my online French cooking classes 👨‍🍳: https://learn.thefrenchcookingacademy.com/p/get-started-with-french-cooking #bressechicken #hallesdelyon #paulbocuse In this week s video I cook a Bresse poulard, the most expensive chicken in France. I was curious, to say the least, to experience what this chicken tastes like. The recipe: I was not won over by the recipe I used in the video which was provided with the chicken (along with an instruction manual!). I recommend you use one of my previous chicken recipes instead (link below). Recommended recipes to use: https://youtu.be/1J6ADe12VwI https://youtu.be/s-RirdGBA4g What s my verdict? This is something to experience but it didn t quite live up to the hype. The Bresse chicken is a rare product that is hyped to the max in gourmet magazine s, cooking shows and websites. And at 50 euros/$55 US dollars for a whole chicken, I have to say my expectations were incredibly high. Yes it tasted like top quality chicken but it didn t blow me away. This raises the question that can be asked of many world renowned gourmet products: IS IT WORTH THE MONEY? In this case you are paying more for the reputation, the novelty and the traditional practices associated with raising the chickens. So should you try a Bresse chicken? Yes, as a once in a lifetime experience so you can cross it off your bucket list. It is a privilege and will extend your culinary knowledge but it s not necessarily head and shoulders above other great quality bio dynamic chickens available at a more affordable price. ************************************************************** IF YOU LIKE MY VIDEOS PLEASE SUPPORT MY CHANNEL *Become a subscriber and double click the bell icon so you never miss a cooking tutorial *Sign up to my Patreon page and join the FCA community: https://bit.ly/2XaXw3F *Spread the word about the channel and the website *Check out my Amazon cookware page (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/2sQZd9z.
