of fat if i'm gonna go through all this work i want the roast that i have left to be NUMBER_TOKEN edible and all these trimmings are great for sauce last thing is i'll just flip back these pectoralis minor muscles also known as the poultry tenderloin just fold them out and the meat will sit at a much more even thickness to that same end i'll butterfly the thickest part of the breast a little bit just one or two shallow cuts to that thick part to get it to lie a little flatter so that it will cook in the same time as the rest i know this looks like a failed experimental surgery right now but just wait till it's cooked we're done let's take a break maybe i'll scan my grocery receipt with fetch rewards the sponsor of this video we all tend to spend a lot of money around the holidays but you can get reward points back on all retail receipts not just groceries or restaurants here's a bookstore receipt you just take a picture of it with the free fetch rewards app hit submit and get points back immediately you can also hit the e-receipt button and it'll scan your email inbox for any eligible receipts i spend most of my money online so no surprise i get a lot more points back this way let's see what i can get the rewards are basically gift cards that you can spend at nearly any retail store or food chain you could think of amazon i think i'll just save money on my next trip to the bookstore done download the app yourself just hit my link in the description use my code regucia and you'll get NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN points on your first receipt that's a limited time offer just for you use my link in code in the description thanks fetch rewards back to the scene of the crime i'm not the biggest fan of this but with everything wide open here it would be very easy to do a quick salt cure or dry brine on this meat just put on as much salt as you would normally use to flavor this much meat no more no less might as well put on some other seasonings while we're here lots of pepper and maybe some herbs dried thyme and sage classic for the holiday and also nice on this side would be some garlic powder and onion powder okay flip her around and that looks better already doesn't it but a NUMBER_TOKEN pound bird all flayed out like this is too big to fit on my baking tray i could cut it in half through the breast and have two mirror image halves but i'm going to snip the leg quarters off there's basically only skin attaching the breast to the thigh here so it should be very obvious where to cut and now i can put my dark meat on one tray and my white meat on another that's a bonus they cook really differently and now we have independent control over them again as much salt on the skin as you would normally use to season right before cooking no more no less it's mostly going to be absorbed into the meat during the curing process pepper two and i'll do some of those same herbs but no garlic or onion powder those things tend to burn under intense dry heat they'll be protected on the underside but not on top here last thing is to kind of tuck any exposed meat up under the skin when the meat is exposed in the fridge it goes leathery when the skin dries out it gets crispy and delicious in the fridge
