The secret to making the best chicken is to treat it like meat. I was recently in Paris and I was served chicken which was incredibly fresh and juicy. I was struck by the simple but effective methods employed by the chef. He was only cooking half a chicken, he asked a butcher for bone-in half chickens. He salted and peppered them, cut them into serving size portions, then he just laid them on the baking sheet on the counter and baked them until they were cooked through.
Whole Chicken Preparation
It is now time to remove the breast meat from the chicken. This can be done by using a pair of kitchen shears. Also, the breast meat should be separated from the skin and the bones of the bird. After the chicken has been separated from the bones, place it in a large bowl and cover it with water.
How to Wash a Whole Chicken
Most grocery stores carry whole chickens that are ready to go. Whole chickens include the backbone, neck, and giblets. Whole chickens can be cleaned in a number of ways, but the best way is to follow the instructions that came with the chicken. In general, the chicken should be washed before cooking. First, remove the giblets and neck. Then, wash the inside and outside of the chicken. Some places do not wash the chicken under running water, so you may want to do this yourself. However, when washing the chicken under running water, make sure you rinse off the innards, as this is where the majority of bacteria will live. Once washed, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Then, if desired, place the chicken in a bowl or container with water. Make sure that the container is big enough to hold the chicken completely submerged. Submerge the chicken in the water for at least 30 minutes, and up to an hour. Some people will submerge the chicken overnight. Make sure to only submerge the chicken in cool water, or you may shock the chicken. After the chicken has been submerged, remove it from the water and pat dry with paper towels.
Covered Chicken
This is a step by step guide on how to prepare whole chicken, or chicken as is. The process takes longer than cooking chicken breasts and it is best to wait to get this done at home if you have time to spare.
Chicken Drumsticks
Chicken drumsticks are a bit different from the other chicken parts. They don’t come with the thigh and the breast meat, so they’re just the drumstick. However, it’s easy to eat them as they’re the most difficult to remove the bone. The easiest way to prepare them is to simply remove the leg and thigh meat and then cut the drumstick apart. You’ll then get two drumsticks.
Chicken Thighs
The legs are the most tender parts of the chicken. They are also high in protein and low in fat. They can be used to make chicken stock. Many people prefer to eat the thighs over the breasts because they are more flavorful. They can also be used to make chicken salad. Start by putting the chicken thighs into a bowl and covering them with water. You can use a whole or cut up onion to cover the chicken. The onion is an added flavor, but is optional. Allow it to soak for at least 20 minutes. You can also add salt and pepper to the chicken and onion. Remove the onion and chicken from the water. Leave the water in the bowl.
