Sous Vide Whole Chicken

I like a roast chicken dinner for two reasons. First of all, it’s such a warming old school dish that makes you feel so comfortable and second of all, the use of leftovers makes for another meal or two. The first method I found for making a sous vide whole chicken was to poach it. So to begin with this article will start with a poached whole chicken sous vide recipe with other sous vide whole chicken recipes. 
 
After much deliberation, I did some research, now that is dangerous given that I am not good at it! Anyway, I came up with a couple of possible recipes based on my research. On my first attempt, I poached the whole chicken for 6 hours at in the bath  at 140° Fahrenheit as per my research online and it didn’t work as well as I had hoped. The meat wasn’t as I would have liked it and was a little too pink for me.

My next attempt – I poached another whole chicken sous vide for 7 hours at 144° Fahrenheit, every degree in sous vide cooking can make a big difference and the beautiful thing of my Anova nano sous vide cooker is that I get precise temperature every time. Well I didn’t have to wait for the three times a charm method of trial and error as I nailed it. It was best! The meat was moist and juicy and the chicken was cooked through just right.
 
As with all poached chicken cooked perfect is was nice and white but without any pink. 5 minutes on a grill to crisp the skin was just enough and did not overcook the chicken. You simply want to crisp up the skin and not to cook the chicken. It looked extremely appetizing. Note: Subsequently in my experiments I tried crisping the skin with a blow torch but ended up overdoing it.
 
I also sous vide vegetables. The onions taste so great and retain their sweetness, I made enough for leftovers and turn some into an onion purée. Don’t stress over unpleasant breath.
 
This recipe is terrific if made on the day of or in advance for a when you make yous whole chicken sous vide meal.

There are numerous ways to prepare a chicken meal with a whole chicken sous vide method and we like experimenting with different methods. We like whole chicken sous vide when we are looking at making multiple meals at once. No matter when or how you like your sous vide chicken, we’ve put some recipes together of some sous vide chicken basics that will help make whole chicken sous vide a breeze!
 
How do you like your chicken? Sous vide chicken temperature levels are set and can vary from 140º-165º Fahrenheit depending on how you like your chicken breasts. For juicier chicken set sous vide to 140º Fahrenheit and for company chicken breast set sous vide to 165º Fahrenheit. Although we like it set at 144º Fahrenheit.
 
Sometimes using a marinade or sauces in your plastic bag can get a bit tricky unless you are using a vacuum sealer. If you are going to use a liquid or sauce make sure it stays at the bottom of your bag or that the sauce is as far from the opening of the bag as possible.
Otherwise, dry rubs are very simple to whip up and are my # 1 preference when it pertains to making whole chicken sous vide!
 

There is no limit on spices and herbs you can use when you are flavoring your sous vide whole chicken. Don’t be afraid to experiment and get creative! Every now and then you might surprise yourself. Personally, we love a basic lemon herb chicken or a smoky dry rub when we make our sous vide chicken breast. Here are some tasty flavor combinations to try out with your Anova Pro Sous Vide Cooker:
