At first glance, it may seem that there is nothing complicated in cooking chicken.
But if you want the dish to be truly tasty and juicy, it wouldn’t hurt to use the tricks of professional chefs.
1. Soak the meat
Chicken needs to be pre-soaked (15-20 minutes is enough), which is preceded by a thorough rinse under running water. The taste of the chicken will definitely improve if you add a small amount of salt to the soaking water.
2. Make punctures
For those who prefer to cook marinated chicken, it is worth remembering that the marinade will not be able to penetrate deep into the meat unless you make several punctures. You can use a fork or knife for this.
3. Don't bake for too long
If you overcook the fillet in the oven, it is likely that it will turn out dry and unappetizing. Baking time should not exceed 30-40 minutes.
4. Don't rush with cutting
It is believed that meat should not be cut while hot. Instead, wait until it has cooled down at least a little (or better yet, completely).
5. Use the oven
Even if you decide to cook chicken in a frying pan, finish it in the oven – the meat will still remain tasty and juicy, but now it will have a crispy crust.
