Chicken is a lot of fun to cook with because it is one of the most versatile ingredients out there. When it comes to chicken meat, one of the main dangers is the risk of salmonella. That's why you want to make sure that your chicken is fully cooked before you eat them. Different cooking method will require different cooking time. For example, grilling chicken thighs will take about ten minutes.
On the other hand, if you want to bake chicken breasts, you will need to set the oven to at least 160 degree Fahrenheit. You can also bake frozen chicken in an oven though the cooking time will usually be 50% longer than usual. Using this cooking method, the easiest way to tell when your chicken is done is when the skin is perfectly crisp and golden and the the white meat inside tender and juicy and no pink is showing. For boneless chicken breasts, the cooking time is usually shorter when compare to chicken with bones.
There are a number of cooking equipments you can use while cooking a chicken. If you want a healthy and good-tasting home meal, just cook your chicken dishes in a slow cooker. In fact, whole poultry is great for pot roasting in a slow cooker. When you bite into it, you are in for a treat because it is going to be so moist and juicy that your family is going to beg you for more.
If you want another way to cook a whole chicken, why not try grilling it on indirect heat. You can also cook a whole chicken under a broiler for a very different taste. Cooking fried chicken breasts is also quite simple if you know the right steps and techniques.
If you have a pressure cooker, that's even better. Be sure to secure the cover of your pressure cooker and turn down to a simmer until you're sure that the chicken is fully cooked. Alternatively, if you want something healthier, you can make hearty chicken soup in a slow cooker to warm you up on those cold nights.
If you find that the natural flavor of the chicken is not enough to stir your appetite, you can always season them with pepper and salt. To check whether your chicken is fully cooked, you can use a digital meat thermometer to ensure that your meal is fully and safely cooked.
