I can't even begin to tell you how glad I am you posted this, my family thinks I'm crazy for wanting to "pull it apart and cover it in salt!!!!". Now I know what to send them when they give me grief!
-
OMG guys I did this yesterday and it wowed the whole family 🤯 it was the best turkey ever! The glistening maple glaze was magical and sticky, the meat succulent, super easy to carve after the initial breaking down, and had more surface area for the amazing glaze to cover. I finally conquered my fear of completely breaking down a bird! Once you break that back and feel the spine and spikey ribs of another being, it changes you man. Thank you SO much Chris. This was the first time my family has eaten a holiday meal together since my mom/mega chef of the family passed away. It meant a great deal to incorporate this recipe into hosting the event and sharing the love with my mom’s famous stuffing recipe. We are having more for breakfast!!

Love how encouraging Chris is. I can do this! (I hope!)
-
Oh my God. Chris is an absolutely incredible teacher. I've never watched someone who is so skilled as an artisan and an art teacher
-
Chris is a wealth of knowledge and he consistently puts out great recipes with all the tips & tricks explained. I appreciate other hosts that will delve into things like childhood memories etc. but really the technique-heavy content that Chris provides is what I love the most being featured on BA! Thanks for another great tutorial - will definitely be giving this one a try.

10/10, this recipe was amazing. I'm not a huge turkey fan and devoured this. I left the dry brine on for 48 hours, because of poor timing but it worked. The meat was super flavorful not just the skin.
-
This was such a hit at Thanksgiving! I did this with a 20lb turkey, increased the seasonings and glaze by 50%, and otherwise followed the same directions. It turned out amazing!
-
Chris saying “This is not a bad place to be” and “You are so close and you got this, okay?” was so encouraging! 😭When I was done cutting up that turkey I was so proud of myself 🥹
-
Wow. Just WOW! I've never seen a turkey look that good. I love the fact that Chris includes so many helpful tips along the way. He explains and it's very compelling for using this method. I bet it works just as nicely for chicken too! Thanks for a great video with some terrific ideas! 👍

Ok, I made this turkey for Thanksgiving. I was worried while it cooked because it didn’t make the house smell like Thanksgiving traditionally does, but OMG it was the most delicious turkey of my 48 Thanksgivings. The flavor was a beautiful marriage that was hard to describe. Our family’s new tradition. A big hit.

i'm so glad Chris and Brad didn't leave Bon Appetit 🙏
-
This is gonna be my Turkey for this year, looks absolutely FANTASTIC! Only thing I’m gonna add is a bit of habanero chili powder for a kick of heat, it’ll go so well with the honey.
-
We started breaking down the turkey a few years ago and we will never go back to roasting a whole bird again. Best decision we ever made. Besides cooking faster than a whole bird, you get that second rack back to be able to cook other things at the same time as the bird.

Peep the secret handshake at 5:45 😂😂
-
A video with Chris is always a good day. Also that turkey looks insanely good 😋
-
IDK about anyone else, but seeing some of the other chefs trying the food would really add to the videos IMO. It's just so pleasurable to see others enjoying the food, and I feel as if it adds more hype as well as reassurance and authentication that the food is banging.

100000% MUST try recipe!!! I made this yesterday for Christmas, 2023, and it was the absolute BEST turkey I’ve ever made and tasted in my entire life. Everyone loved it and they all also said it was the best turkey they’ve ever eaten. I followed the recipe exactly and breaking down the turkey wasn’t as hard as I anticipated (I watched the video many times in advance lol!). I cannot recommend this recipe enough it’s absolutely incredible!! UPDATE: Just made a turkey sandwich with the leftovers and it’s the best leftover turkey sandwich I’ve ever had too😂 chefs kiss

5:47 Inés and Kendra in the background! So funny. I love your kitchen vibe XO

Thanks Chris & ba! This was a complete success and the family loved it! Happy Thanksgiving
