Baking or frying chicken in the oven can be a great idea for a tasty treat.

The most difficult part to work with is the poultry breast, since it has no fat.

In the hands of an inexperienced cook, such meat often comes out dry and tasteless. In order to avoid such an unpleasant situation, you need to follow three simple tricks.

What are the main secrets of chefs?

Soy sauce or citrus juice

In order for the chicken breast to remain juicy and soft, it needs to be marinated properly. Not all marinade recipes can cope with the task.

It is best to choose options that offer soy sauce or citrus juice as one of the ingredients.

Hit correctly

Working with a hammer helps in some cases to achieve ideal tenderness when roasting. However, if you do not work carefully, the meat will be of absolutely poor quality - it is difficult to chew and does not look very presentable.

Therefore, do not forget to wrap the fillet in cling film before you start beating it.

Don't forget about the breading

It is the breading that acts as a protective layer that does not allow the meat juice to escape. Therefore, when frying and baking, it is best to work with batter or breading.

You can choose any breading method that seems most appealing to you.
