Tips:

  • Brine the chicken: Brining the chicken helps to keep it moist and flavorful. You can brine the chicken in a simple salt water solution for several hours or overnight.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: A good marinade will help to infuse the chicken with flavor. You can use a variety of different marinades, such as a citrus marinade, a herb marinade, or a spicy marinade.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat helps to prevent it from drying out. If you cook the chicken over high heat, it will quickly become overcooked and dry.
  • Use a meat thermometer: A meat thermometer is the best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The chicken is cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Letting the chicken rest before serving allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful chicken.
