  1. I disagree with homemade stock. For chicken, the bullion cubes are possibly even better and for beef they are just so much more quicker. The only thing I do make fresh stock from is shrimp, because that takes an hour and is super tasty compared to any store bought alternative (if any are available at all).

  2. Dry Brining – I dry brine the turkey and leave it uncovered in the refrigerator for thanksgiving and it comes out FANTASTIC every time. I haven’t had as much success with pork.

    Question – Would you leave baby back ribs uncovered in the refrigerator after dry brining?

  3. I would season it with pepper, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, Turmeric, Cumin etc. Why salt is being pushed which is incredibly unhealthy, I don't know. I urge you to not use salt and use the alternatives I have mentioned. Add a dollop of low fat and high protein yoghurt.

  4. great video! really enjoyed the tips you shared, they're super helpful for anyone looking to up their cooking game. but honestly, i think some of these tips might overcomplicate things for home cooks. sometimes, simplicity is key, ya know?

  5. Hi chef. If you wanna honour technique no. 10 and buy the best ingredients how come you say a whole chicken can be bought for 10 to 12 dollars? Is that actually true where you're from? I'm from Denmark and a good chicken (organic, free range and all the other good bits) in a perfectly normal supermarket is 20 to 25 dollars. Is that just here or can you actually buy that level of chicken for only 12 dollars in the states? Love everything you've done and big fan. Have a nice 2025.

  6. Billy is hands down the best source of teaching and advice on becoming a better chef. Unlike many you tubers, his recipes and techniques show a great deal of care, he does not skimp on detail, and the result is always fabulous in my experience.

  7. Great info except 2 things:

    – ugly but great tasting food is perfectly fine
    – Don't waste money on fancy foods. Cheese does matter. Wine does matter. Chicken breast does not matter. Tomatoes don't matter. Vine tomatoes are all the same.

  8. I got the message about whole chicken some time ago. Here in the UK, chicken and egg-production is one of most successful industries, (don't have many!!) and the envy of the world due to our strict food-safety practices. Love these tips! Thank-you ☺️

  9. Grow your own fresh herbs at home. It’s so easy. They take up next to no room, they look lovely in a nice pot and it’s so much cheaper than buying your herbs from the store. Also, you can’t beat the freshness of fresh cut herbs from the garden.
