We all know that chicken can get old fast, but there are so many ways to make it fresh again. Here we are going to tell you the best 3 ways to cook chicken that are not only delicious but also good for you.
The first way to cook chicken is by grilling it. Grilling chicken is a great way to get that perfect sear on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and moist. Plus, it’s a relatively quick and easy cooking method. Just make sure that you don’t overcook your chicken, as this can dry it out.
Another healthy way to cook chicken is by roasting it in the oven. Roasting chicken allows you to control the temperature more easily than grilling, so there is less risk of overcooking. And, like grilling, roasted chicken has a lovely crispy skin with succulent meat underneath.
Last but not least boiling chicken is a fantastic way to make sure your chicken is cooked evenly throughout and remains moist. It’s also a great way to create your homemade chicken broth! Simply add any veggies or herbs you like into the pot, let everything simmer away, and then strain it all before enjoying.
Grilled Chicken Essentials
-
It's that simple -Choose quality chickens with skin-on and bone-in. It stays moist and flavourful.
-
Keep it moist -Poach the chicken on low heat, in a mixture of stock and buttermilk, and refrigerate overnight. Place it over indirect heat (away from the coals) to make it warm and over direct heat (over the coals) to make it crispy.
-
Flame on - Small pieces cook faster so prep your grill for direct heat and get ready to eat.
-
Cooking meat is a delicate process that takes time to master. To avoid drying out the food and losing flavor, try using tongs or similar tools for moving it around while cooking instead of piercing with forks/prongs - this will prevent juices from escaping which can lead your dish towards being less juicy but still delicious!
-
Citrus hack -Squeeze lemons and oranges over the chicken as it cooks to moisten the skin and get in a zesty kick.
Don't forget to add some vegetables, corn, or even pineapple to get the juiciest most delicious meal.
