Big Daddy's House is a cooking show that follows Chef Aaron McCargo Jr as he demonstrates how to make delicious, affordable meals that are perfect for families. Season 4 episode 12, titled "Fit for a King," is no exception.
In this episode, Chef Aaron is focusing on meals that are perfect for a family celebration. He starts off by making a delicious appetizer of crab cakes with a remoulade sauce. He explains that the key to making great crab cakes is using fresh crab meat instead of canned. He mixes the crab meat with breadcrumbs, egg, and a variety of spices before forming them into patties and frying them in oil. The remoulade sauce, which is a mixture of mayonnaise, mustard, and herbs, is the perfect finishing touch.
Next up, Chef Aaron moves on to the main course: a roasted chicken with herb butter and vegetables. He shows viewers how to make a simple herb butter by mixing butter with scallions, rosemary, and thyme. He then stuffs the butter under the chicken's skin and roast the chicken in the oven. While the chicken cooks, he prepares a variety of vegetables, including potatoes, carrots, and green beans, that he'll later toss in olive oil and roast alongside the chicken.
For dessert, Chef Aaron makes a classic southern treat: peach cobbler. He explains that the key to a great cobbler is using fresh, ripe peaches. He slices the peaches and combines them with sugar, flour, and spices before pouring the mixture into a baking dish. He then creates a crumbly topping out of butter, flour, sugar, and spices and sprinkles it over the top. The cobbler bakes in the oven until it's golden brown and bubbling.
Throughout the episode, Chef Aaron offers tips and advice on cooking techniques and ingredients. He emphasizes the importance of using fresh, high-quality ingredients and shows viewers how to make the most of what's in their pantry. He also encourages viewers to get creative in the kitchen and experiment with different flavors and techniques.
Overall, "Fit for a King" is a great episode for anyone looking to cook a memorable, delicious meal for their family or friends. With Chef Aaron's guidance, even novice cooks can create a meal that's sure to impress.
