Thread: Chicken

Sounds like an innovative idea! Hmm.. very creative! I'd say go for it! I don't see anything wrong with that. But I don't see how it could be different than baking them, sounds like they would come out the same.

I find baking breast kind of makes them dry. This way I guess the heat somewhat seal the juices inside :o and there is nothing better.....sorry, breasts and juice in the one paragraph.....kind got sidetracked

I dunno, but they taste better to me

Put a little butter on the breast before you bake and they stay moist.

George Foreman grill works great! Do you have those over there?

the Foreman grill does kick ass...I was getting sick of eating chicken breasts until I got one.

ditto to the george, i also use a gas grill to cook alot with, you can regulate the heat better so you dont ''burn the breast''. ouch.........

Yes, well I`d luv to use a Forman grill, but no, cannot buy them over here

can we try to send you one???????????????

I dunno.

I think I may take a look around online and see if there is somewhere that does sell them internationally. I know they are sold in Australia so there may be somewhere online that sells them wired for the same power supply as Japan.

Thanks for the idea Tank

This is what i do and it keeps the breasts nice and plump.

Defrost your breasts and put some sea salt (if you arent restricting sodium) and pepper on to both sides. Preheat oven to 425 F, this high heat will cook them quick and keep them moist. The sea salt also tends to absorb the juices and sink into the chicken. Then i only cook the breasts for about 14-15 min until they are slightly pink in the center still. This way they will be fully cooked once you are ready to eat them, but still juicey as can be. If i am cooking for a couple days, i take the chicken out before that time, so that when i reheat them in the micro they are over cooked.

Give this a try
I use the coarse sea salt (it is the best).

Have any of you ever tried boiling your chicken? That's how I cook mine...it stays very moist and tender, and tastes better to me...just a though

I boil mine, so much easier to deal with (IMO), I really like it that way. Tastes just like chicken strips, without the breading of course.

Ya just throw chicken in a pot of boiling water? That's disgusting!

Sheech,do we have to explain every thing to ya????
Hmmmm,throw one live chicken in a pot of boiling water.
Cook until it's quiet...

w8, its actually not that bad at all...have you ever had chicken soup? They boil their chicken...give it a try you might like it.

I boil my chicken too for e.g. Chicken Fricassé .. and I could eat 2.5 pounds of that stuff ..

Try it, you won't regret it ..
(you might wanna add some rice herbs to the water though .. )

Can someone give me specific instructions on boiling chicken. Is it just as easy as putting chicken into boiling water? If I have one fresh whole chicken breast, how much water do I use? How long does it take? Should the pot be covered?
