I'm in Taichung in Taiwan and just outside of the city there are some beautiful mountains where you can come and there's an assortment a number of restaurants that specialize in Taiwanese Barrel roasted chicken [Music] oh yeah love this place short hike up to the dining room yeah it is pretty quiet because we're here on a on a week day in the middle of the afternoon hopefully we might be able to see them cooking the barrel barrel chicken as well water okay foreign [Music] [Applause] and me oh yes here we go the fan foreign I think it's going to cook for about one hour until it's done and we got here this is a weekday in the middle of the afternoon so we're the only ones here and so that's why they're only cooking one chicken for us but if you get here maybe on the weekend when it's busy I think it's very popular on the weekend especially when people are have their day off and then when they come to the countryside to for leisure and for eating you'll see that they have like five or six chickens all going at one time the Blazing fires all in a row of six or seven chickens that would be cool to see okay wow at the very end he just blasts it with some extra heat just Flames like fireworks blast it to get that skin perfectly crunchy and golden [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] that was incredible the chicken is dangling within the barrel on a on a skewer and he just like pulls that out the chicken Falls oh that's a beautiful process that is the most golden it's just steaming it's perfectly golden oh what a process at home wow oh wow literally the juices are just pouring out of it it's perfectly cooked with Precision so it's cooked all the way through the bone and yet it remains just unbelievably juicy so juicy oh okay okay what about the dripping juices [Music] wow literally it's like a liter of fluid that came out of the chicken while it was roasting and that's going to be used as a sauce so he puts that into a little cup with some a little bit of salt and pepper that you can dip your chicken into here oh okay I love how they chop it up and serve it on a tray and Uncle really wants us to eat it fast while it's still really hot and fresh and juicy he said you gotta start with this chicken breast right here so maybe that's what we should immediately dig into okay Micah go for it let's try that chicken breast first oh look at how juicy it is and that skin okay you go for it you can dip a little bit in that kind of salt here we go Taiwanese Barrel roasted chicken [Music] oh wow oh that is so juicy and Smoky and that skin I honestly wasn't even expecting it to be that good I mean the process is cool but the taste actually like is as cool as the the process oh and the juiciness is almost unbelievable it really is incredibly juicy and that's the chicken breast that I had the first bite and that's so juicy and so good should we do a dip in the Au Judo yes yes we should that chicken broth juice if you want to rehydrate it even more a little bit of salt and pepper mixture okay yeah we'll be at now oh wow dip back in that broth so it's juicing it's just dripping on them okay um [Music] so incredibly tasty and that that chicken oil makes it even more tasty okay look at this skin okay actually let's just try a little bit of skin first before moving on to that drumstick look at that skin oh man that skin is perfect
