    Cooking Tips for Easy Chicken Recipes

    What Cut of Chicken Works Best?

    For most recipes, chicken thighs are ideal due to their rich flavor and tenderness. They are less prone to drying out compared to chicken breasts.

    How Can I Maximize Flavor?

    Marinating your chicken and incorporating fresh herbs or spices can greatly enhance the flavor. Additionally, proper searing can create a delicious, caramelized crust.

    What's the Best Way to Get Crispy Skin?

    Pat the chicken dry before cooking, season well, and use high heat to start. Let the skin render and crisp up without moving the chicken too often.

    How Long Should I Marinate Chicken?

    For the best results, marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes, but not longer than 24 hours. Acidic marinades can break down the meat if left too long.

    Can I Cook Chicken From Frozen?

    While it's possible to cook chicken from frozen, it's best to thaw it first for even cooking. Use a refrigerator, cold water, or a microwave for safe thawing.
