See RecipeFor most recipes, chicken thighs are ideal due to their rich flavor and tenderness. They are less prone to drying out compared to chicken breasts.
Marinating your chicken and incorporating fresh herbs or spices can greatly enhance the flavor. Additionally, proper searing can create a delicious, caramelized crust.
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.
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.
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.
