Cancelled - Asian Fundamentals: Chicken

A hands-on cooking class culminating in a family-style dinner, served with a glass of wine or beer.

Eating whole requires learning new skills, and one of the most useful for home cooks is butchering chickens. With boning knives in hand, we’ll work together in groups to cut up and bone Vietnamese “walking chickens,” a free-range variety much loved for their firmer flesh and sweeter flavor. Then we’ll prepare a full menu of iconic Asian dishes that highlight versatile techniques for working with both white and dark meat.

Invest in a lifelong skill and explore new flavor profiles in this intensive weekend workshop.
