welcome friends it's Saturday morning so we are going to recreate another one of
the most viewed recipe videos on YouTube and this morning I think I want to do a
slow cooker recipe and so we will filter that by viewcount and the number one is
Gordon Ramsay but it's not a slow cooker recipe it's slow cooked and the number
two is also slow cooked not slow cooker so both Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver
are gaming the metadata to to to work the YouTube algorithm to be at the top
shame on you guys so the number one is actually one pot chef show with 3.1
million views for a slow cooked chicken dinner let's take a look at that so you
know what this looks like a pretty straightforward tasty recipe and you
know I really like the one pot chef I like David he's he's very relaxed on
camera there's no fuss there's no frilly bits he gets down to
cooking and makes it very easy for everyone to understand and I really
admire that and I also like that he puts the recipe in the drop down box right
below the video so you don't have to shuffle off to some website to find it
so let's get started so this is a super simple recipe to prep there's really not
much in it and it won't take you very long to get everything ready and get it
in the crock-pot which is the whole purpose of having a crock-pot recipe and
I think David has done a really good job but we'll find out in the end so I'm
gonna juice some lemons cuz you need fresh squeezed lemon juice
okay so lemons squeezed squozen squeezed now I've got a cup of olive oil and we
mix the lemon juice into the olive oil and then we tossed in some oregano some
onion powder salt freshly cracked pepper and crushed garlic and we just give that
a mix now we just put everything into the slow cooker so David suggests using
skinless boneless chicken breasts I am NOT a huge fan of skinless boneless
chicken breasts but I can see in this recipe how they are the preferred cut of
chicken you don't ever want to put chicken skin in a slow cooker it just
isn't pretty not pretty at all so chicken goes in the bottom and David
piles all the carrots on one side and then he piles all of the potatoes on the
other and I don't know if that is important for the recipe we'll find out
and then you just pour your sauce mixture over top
put the lid on and then we run that on high for four hours
all right so you this this is the most popular YouTube recipe for a slow cooker
meal this is the most watched slow cooker recipe video on YouTube so okay
Wow give it a try it I like its simplicity it is very simple so this is
a sharp knife but it didn't slice so you know it's pulled chicken this is well
done yeah
oh they're so what's you know Pleasant this is okay the irony is I'm not that
fun to cook carrots this is gonna be a tough one
well so muchi yeah to me the chicken doesn't have a whole lot of flavor there
are a lot of extra flavors I mean no conveniently carrots and potatoes bring
a lot of flavor to things like especially carrots but the chicken
doesn't really have any flavor and I actually think the chickens kind of dry
and I find that the vegetables are overcooked me so so what is it well
here's what we don't eat a lot of stuff in the slow cooker - except for like
chili we'll make chili or a soup in the slope
and I think milada has to the sex they its large size of stuff yeah so and I
always find no matter how you cook a chicken breast unless it has been brined
mm-hmm with that that sort of it has that then that fake texture of being
brined but it is juicy and it's succulent and I don't know I think I
think we could do this better in a Dutch oven in the oven with some more
vegetables well I'd always go with more vegetables a little bit yeah some onions
a little bit more flavor parsnip maybe yeah any root vegetables
you want yeah turnip and thighs Vega and for this type of cooking thighs
chicken thighs cheaper too well cheaper but the end yeah you know but the lots
of flavor lots of flavor and they cook better over a longer period of time like
this they're gonna hold up they're going to they're going to be so yes this is
the most watched slow cooker recipe on YouTube and you know one pot chef did a
great job I think this is you know if you were cooking for yourself or for a
family and you were very busy and you just wanted something that you could
toss in the crock-pot in the morning go to work yeah you might
have a salad on the side or something else that goes with it yeah
yeah this is fantastic oh yeah at the risk of sounding like a
total jackass really yes you can say thank you already
I think we could do better but not in not in a slow cooker I think this is the
best that it can be in the slow cooker hands-down definitely yes David you did
great job but let's do this in in a browser or a Dutch oven in the oven and
we'll see what we can do same flavor base so thanks for stopping by see you
again soon
you
