We have been eating chicken all our lives, but it didn't come to us how this tasty
meat can adapt to different cooking methods. To satisfy our curiosity, here are
some of the most common ways to cook with chef recipes:
1. Shallow-Frying
One of the most popular methods, shallow-frying cooks the chicken by soaking it in
about one inch of oil. The chicken is allowed to cook, and as the first side is done,
the meat is turned over to cook the other side.
2. Braising
Braising involves the cooking of large cuts of chicken by partially soaking it with
liquid such as broth, cider, or wine. The cooking is done gradually and at low
temperature. This results in a very tender, delicious meat.
3. Grilling
Grilling is done by cooking chicken meat over direct heat. It is the fastest method
that is applicable to all cuts of meat. Even whole chicken can be grilled provided it
is opened at the middle. Grilled chicken tastes the best when it is marinated
before cooking and brushed with cooking oil or something that can add flavor to it.
4. Poaching
This method involves simmering the chicken in liquid until it is fully cooked. This
method is typically used for making chicken broth for chicken soup or preparing
the meat for low fat and low calorie dishes.
5. Spatchcock
In spatchcock cooking, the cook opens the chicken and removes the spine, the
breast bone and the tips of the wings. This makes the chicken ready for roasting or
grilling. Spatchcocking is usually intended to make the chicken cook in half the
time than cooking it with its bones on.
