Chicken is not only delicious, but also a valuable product from which you can cook an incredible number of hot dishes. What not to do with this bird: stew, cook, bake, fry, marinate, stuffed. Hot chicken dishes are very popular, because they are quite fast to prepare and low in calories, and are also ideal for baby food.
In a frying pan, you can cook the chicken whole, in pieces, with or without bones. It can be fried or put out, with or without oil. Make a full-fledged second course, a light sauce, an appetizer, something that is suitable for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In addition, many options are suitable for adherents of a balanced diet, will be included in many food restrictions.
You can add any vegetables, mushrooms, cereals, legumes to the chicken, regardless of whether you fry them or stew them. If you cook fillets, it will take less time to cook than for a whole carcass. You can even fry a whole chicken in a frying pan, as long as the size of the dishes matches. Tobacco chicken, a popular dish of Georgian and Turkish cuisine, is prepared with adjika and aromatic spices. Often without the addition of oil, because there is enough fat of the chicken itself.
The cooking methods depend on what you want to get in the end: a fried brown crust or tender white meat. It is better to fry in melted butter, animal fat. And at the same time put it on an already hot frying pan – so the meat will turn out juicier if it is not overexposed on the fire. Also, for a crisp crust, it is better not to close the frying pan with a lid.
If the freshness of the meat is “not the first”, it is better to marinate it before further processing. Any vinegar, lemon juice, hot pepper, mustard, mayonnaise and everything that can be suitable for a marinade, simple or complex, will do. The longer you marinate, the more tender the meat will be, the more marinade flavors will appear in it.
Any parts of a chicken in a frying pan are successfully obtained: hams, thighs, legs, breasts, backs, wings, necks, even stomachs, hearts, liver. It is advisable to remove the skin from the chicken, do not use it in a dish. Unless there is an idea to fry it well.
Since chicken meat is more tender than any other, it usually takes less time to cook it. Moreover, in some cases it is highly discouraged to cook it for too long. Otherwise, it may become dry and tasteless. This is especially true if we are talking about fried, not stewed food.
I highly recommend cooking this very quick recipe. It’s just an explosion of taste! The chicken turns out to be very festive, bright, tasty, juicy, unusual and very, very New Year’s. And it turns out an incomparable sauce that will enrich any side dish.
This poultry roll is made in the manner of Italian porchetta, which is traditionally made from pork. If you want more roll, take a turkey breast; a smaller chicken will do! The role of the “crust” here will be performed by the bacon covering the roll. Definitely, this roll can become a decoration of the festive table. And, at the same time, in cold form it is suitable as a snack. Pesto sauce makes slicing very attractive and delicious!
The simplest ingredients, but for everyday dishes their combination is perfect. What’s also good is that the products for such a casserole – and it turns out, in fact, it’s a casserole – are extremely affordable at any time of the year. The dominant taste here is steamed cabbage (white and cauliflower) and chicken meat. Potato shell is softened with sour cream, and rosemary gives piquancy.
My family doesn’t really like the combination of chicken and citrus, but over time I found an option that suited everyone… The chicken turns out juicy, delicious, with a delicate aroma of orange and garlic and a sweet and salty crust…
Girls and boys, for my last recipe in the contest, I’m closing my favorite chicken marinade recipe. This marinade is great for barbecue. I’ve been using it for a long time. The recipe is always asked. I hope you enjoy it too. This recipe is very convenient for a festive feast. In it, the side dish and the chicken are baked on the same baking sheet under the most fragrant sauce. It turns out perfectly.
I want to cook unusual dishes for the New Year’s table. Frozen black currant berries can be used for the marinade. Chicken under the influence of acid becomes tender and softened. And you can bake meat in a sleeve with the addition of potatoes and onions.
