Today we're making Chicken Parmigiana for the first time of course. This is a chill cooking livestream talking food, technique, stories, and whatever else comes up. Whether you're here to learn, or just vibe with some real-time cooking, you're in the right place.
We’ll be butchering a whole chicken, simmering a homemade marinara, breading and frying cutlets, layering with mozzarella and Parmesan, and finishing it all in the oven until golden and bubbly. Plus, we’ll keep it fresh with a simple lemon + EVOO salad on the side.
