this is kindof OT but what do you guys cook you chicken in, mine always comes out dry, tasty but DRY???


what can I do?

 

[YoungIntricateMuscle]

bake it.....if you use george foreman it will come out dry..........when pan frying preheat at least 5 minutes on medium heat. use a little olive oil. then fry 6-7 minutes on each side on medium heat covered.

also, try marinading your chicken. try 1/2 cup apple juice and 1 tbsp dijon mustard. Mix and put chicken and same bowl. Store in refrigerator at least 4 hours.

One of the best things to do to keep meat tender and moist is to sear it before cooking it. Run that pan up to as high as it will go and sear the outside of it and the edges for a few minutes on each side to seal in the juices. Then when you bake it it won't be as dry. Marinades also help but the foreman grill always drys food out.

Most people overcook their chicken. That is usually the culprit of dry chicken. Poultry should be cooked to an internal temp of 165 degrees F. That is the safe zone approved by the FDA. Fish can be cooked to an internal temp of 145 degress F if it is not a sushi grade fish. Holla at the CHEF
