  1. Damn. $6,000+ (in 2008 dollars) worth of Mauviel copper and I don't have a rondeau that large. 4.9 quart and 3.9 quart sizes are their standards. I had to check my notes. I have 6.4 quart and 9.15 quart "Stew pans" (same as a rondeau but taller sides, it looks like). I guess that 9.15 quart I've never had occasion to use in the past 16 years is finally going to have to do, but wouldn't a large Dutch oven work? Most people have that, I imagine.

  2. So, I made this…

    first, no matter how easy Billy makes dividing that chicken look, if you are a first timer don’t expect neatness.

    I tried to put the whole chicken in a 13-inch cast iron, it didn’t fit. His rondo is bigger.

    The breasts on my chicken were scary huge. It took over 30 minutes to hit 165.

    Remember, unless you have a pan as large as Billy’s rondo you need to put in less liquid, otherwise the liquid will be too deep.

    Good dish, a keeper

  3. Lovely meal Chef. I really enjoyed the experience of going to the local butcher and getting a fresh chicken vs the easy Kroger option. Also — the olive oil before the oven gave the skin a great crisp. Great call.

    I finished with the Sabayon dessert from your newest video and it was a hit.

    I love your insistence on mastering the fundamentals. It couldn’t be more accurate and it continues to be a commandment in my home cooking journey!

  4. Reminds me a little of Gennaros Contaldos "Braised Chicken Stew" (made it a lot of times)… but this one has the crispy Chicken Skin… so i have to try it 😋 Thank's Chef!

  5. Thanks Billy, That was the best Chicken Vesuvio I ever made!!! Easily as good as any I've had out! I have made quite a few of your recipes, but this was worth commenting. It helped that I just baked a loaf of sourdough bread. It didn't need the garlic confit….but?!?!!! Maybe Next Time!!! A Serious Fan…. Twisty Ed

  6. This is so random and off-topic, but I wonder about chef's height. I have been following him for over a year, but I just noticed that he seems very tall with very long arms.
