Choosing & preparing chicken
How to choose
Look for plump, pinkish flesh with no grey patches and a clean smell. Thighs stay juicier than breasts and forgive overcooking; bone-in, skin-on pieces deliver the most flavour.
Prep & storage
Pat dry before searing for proper browning, and bring it to room temperature for 15 minutes so it cooks evenly. Marinades with acid or yoghurt tenderise lean breast meat.
When is it done?
Cook to an internal temperature of 74°C / 165°F — the juices should run clear and there should be no pink at the bone.
Nutrition
A lean, high-protein choice: a skinless breast delivers roughly 31 g of protein per 100 g with very little saturated fat.
Classic flavour partners: garlic, lemon, thyme, ginger, paprika, yoghurt
