Add 1-2 tbsp of cider vinegar to your stock/broth at the start. It helps break down the collagen/gelatin better, but cooks off so no vinegar flavor will make it through.

This is the most useful episode of basics yet. I will definitely be doing a bunch of cheap, easy meal prep with a rotisserie chicken from the store in the very near future.

I never considered having leftover rotisserie chicken before. Very interesting concept.

For the congee also add lemon slice on top and a gooey soft boiled egg

Always make chicken stock when I get a rotisserie chicken. So synergistic.

Hi Andrew, May I suggest you add the sesame oil last either off heat or just moments before. Keeps it fresh, toasty and not risking a bitterness if it catches on high heat. Love your work.

I love this. I also wanna say, your chicken noodle soup recipe is my go-to when I'm sick. I make a big batch and freeze it so I just have to heat it up with the noodles when I'm sick. It was a lifesaver when I came down with Covid.

Babish we love you! Take whatever time you need to get better. The show will always be here ❤

This entire episode just made me feel warm and nostalgic. Just like momma using up every bit of that chicken. ❤

Thanks for making these, they are excellent ideas for stretching a budget.

would love a giblets/offal episode genuinely i know they can be hard to find at some grocery stores but i go to the asian market a lot and would like to know just a little more about each kind of offal before buying and cooking some

Hearing about the cookbook, I'm so glad he's also inclusive of the parts of recipes that if not followed could potentially ruin a dish. That's exactly what I think most cookbooks miss: only showing or talking about what happens when a dish goes according to plan, but not about what happens when it goes awry and how to fix it.

[mordi]

I didn’t expect that congee inclusion. Real interested to try that.

[nobleani]

Last time I had rotisserie chicken leftovers I used it to make a white wine chicken and bacon risotto, it was delicious, I didn't make the stock from scratch though - I might try that next time!! I highly recommend if anyone wants a recipe for the leftovers that's not in this video :D

[margamunson]

This looks DOPE. Also it solves the major issue with serving something like this at Thanksgiving...way more servings than a standard round pie. Brilliant as usual Bri!

[QueenCloveroftheice]

This episode had perfect timing since I was planning on making a pasta dish using rotisserie chicken soon!

[vishneva]

Thank you. I always have grand plans for what to do with my leftover rotisserie chicken and some of them have never panned out. I didn't like using the meat in a stir fry because it still had that "rotisserie" flavoring that didn't mesh well with the stir fry flavors. The best thing I came up with was chicken vegetable quesadilla because the taco/fajita seasoning became the dominate taste.

[groermaik]

I never made congee with chicken broth. You are the MAN! Thanks.
