Re: Dry chicken

Re: Dry chicken

White meat generally turns out to be drier than the dark meat no matter how you cook it. Maybe if you tell us more about the cuts you use or the way you cook it, perhaps we can help?

Re: Dry chicken

reccently i've been putting some broth into my salans (just store bought, or home made ones) and it always makes the chicken a little jucier, and Ira is right, no matter how you cook it white meat will be drier then dark meat.

Re: Dry chicken

To seal the juices inside the chiken you need to put it in heated oil. Make sure when you put the chicken in your pan, the oil is well heated. and fry it for 3-4 minutes on high heat. Then add the masalas and everything else.

Re: Dry chicken

hmm i'll be sure to try that. so do u boonify the masala separately and then add it to the lightly fried chicken?

Re: Dry chicken

This is what my MIL does, she first fries the chicken before doing anything in the oil. Then takes it out, then makes masala and adds the chicken later.

Re: Dry chicken

Use leg pieces and wings for softer and moisture-rich meat.

Use breast pieces for dryness. If you're using a whole chicken you probably have a lot of breast meat in your dish.
