Techniques That Matter

  • Marinate for flavour: 4–24 hours adds depth; acid-based marinades tenderize.
  • Use a meat thermometer: Pull chicken at 73–75 °C for juicy results.
  • Batch grill or air fry: Cook once, portion, and freeze for weekday meals.
  • Sauce last: Add glazes or coatings after cooking to keep the crust crisp.
  • Slice against the grain: Ensures tenderness in stir-fries and skewers.
  • Rest before cutting: Locks juices in, especially for grilled or oven-roasted dishes.

Common Mistakes & Fixes

  • Dry meat → Overcooked; reduce heat or rest before slicing.
  • Soggy fried chicken → Oil too cool; maintain 175–180 °C.
  • Bland results → Under-salted; season layers—meat, marinade, and sauce.
  • Rubbery breast → Cook to temperature, not time; brine or tenderize before.
  • Split sauces → Add cream off heat and stir constantly.

Serving Ideas / Planner’s Notes

  • Serve 150–200 g cooked chicken per person for mains.
  • Pair with rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables for balanced meals.
  • Add contrast—crispy fried with fresh salad or creamy sauce.
  • Include one grilled, one saucy, one crisp option for variety.
  • For buffets, slice chicken thin and serve with dips or flatbreads.
