Defrosting a 4.2lb whole chicken in the fridge at the moment.
I'm interested in cooking the whole chicken sous vide in the Anova oven, unbagged. All recipes online* mention preparations for bagging before immersion. And none* mention whole chickens. So not a lot of help to be found.
Anyone have time/temp recommendations?
Now that I think about it, I roast (Romertopf) whole duck but first remove the breast (which is sous vided at a lower temperature later). Maybe I should listen. 🙃
* from my several hour perusal of google, eGullet, Anova recipes, Judy Rogers, Heston Blumenthal at home, etc.
