What's a good way to prepare chicken, that's tasty and gives gains /fit/?
>tasty
never gonna make it
but if you insist, /fit/ told me a good way to make chicken
>pan high on heat (water stays droplets)
>add olive oil
>turn down heat to medium or medium high
>put in chicken
>optional: add soy sauce and cayenne
>put lid on
>wait until cooked through
p juicy and still has one side golden and crispy p legit
-Brine for a couple hours min.
-Preheat Oven to 400
-Put in baking tray
-Rub with Olive Oil
-Season (I like Garlic powder, onion powder, a little bay seasoning and some Slap Ya Mama Cajuin seasoning)
-Put in oven for 30 minutes
-Take out, cover with tinfoil for 10 minutes
-Enjoy
(Of Note, Cooking times are usually for 5 normal chicken breasts, may need to adjust slightly down or up if your cooking more or less)

Anything is better than nothing familia. I'll try this out, cheers.
Get some curry powder and cilantro on that bitch
add a bit of lemon
serve with BBQ sauce
It'll have some flavor
or, you could just try it basic and save yourself time/energy

Buy a food thermometer. Honestly the best thing I've ever done when it comes to chicken.
Here's the TL;DR reasoning -
Chicken is cooked, and therefore safe, when it reaches 165F/75C. That's it. Anything else is irrelevant.
However, because no one used to own a food thermometer (I assume they used to be expensive), a good rule of thumb was the thing we've all heard - chicken is cooked when the meat is white, and the juices run clear.
However, this isn't always the case. A thick cut of chicken like the breast, can still be pink even when its reached 165F. It's safe, it's cooked, but we're taught that it doesn't "look" safe.
As a result, most people tend to over-cook chicken breast. It can often turn white when it's at 200F+, by which point it's the dry, horrible, boring taste and texture we've all come to loathe.
On the flip-side, thin cuts like chicken wings might look cooked when they're still as low as 130F, which is why wings are the biggest cause of food poisoning when it comes to chicken.
So buy a food thermometer, and always have tasty chicken.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! BEHOLD, AUTISM: THE POST
>>35756035
Very funny asshole, I'm just telling you how to not get shitty, horrible dry chicken that people always bitch and complain about.
>>35755643
buy a crockpot. seriously it's a game changer. you can make breakfast and dinner at the same time and come home to delicious meal. it's nearly impossible to fuck up. you just chop up stuff and throw it in there (potatoes, onions, seasoning whatever's clever). costco also sells a great crockpot for like 30 bucks
protip:
buy chicken flavored bouillon so you're not wasting dosh on water (like when you buy chicken broth)
>>35756005
alternatively, go the autistic route like this guy
>>35756005
This applies to everything really. People will use a meat thermometer when making a roast of some kind, but for some irrational reason won't when making salmon or something else and as a result people overcook almost everything.
>>35756055
not the guy you responded to but that is definitely a spectrum post man. not trying to be mean, but maybe try not being so rigid and relax a little. i can easily see you getting upset if your chicken was like a few degrees off.
people who talk about food like they do their girlfriend or their dog weird me out, so maybe i'm biased? idk, just relax anon

Along with the crockpot if you don't already own a rice cooker you should get on that shit.
I used to hate rice, now I love rice.
Any reason why I should not be eating this?
>>35756137
What the fuck?!?
I just help you losers with your fucking chicken. I can't help if nobod wants to learn to cook properly.
Have fun with your fucking disgusting overcooked meat... There is just no reason to go up to 167F/76C it just get overcooked and lose the tasty taste

nigga chicken breast tastes disgusting no matter if it's under or over cooked. the only thing that makes it "taste good" is the sauces you put on it, the seasoning, or the marinade/brine
>>35756843
You ever ate an chicken only cooked u til 165F/75C ?
I guess not cause you haven't got a god damn food thermometer. Please fit buy food thermometers
>>35755643
Just buy any low-salt spice that you like and nuke the chicken with it.
>>35755643
Preheat oven to 180°C, rub chicken with oil, spices, bake
>Cut chicken breast into small pieces
>Put olive oil in hot pan

You should eat a different protein if you don't like chicken.

Fry that bitch in a pan, cook some rice, and throw tomatoe sauce all over it. The sauce makes a ton of difference taste wise.

Guy who originally posted here, not the guy who posted this >>35756775.
Yeah, I get what you mean by autistic because my post was long and science-y, but I'm just copy-pasting some advice that explains that most people tend to over-cook chicken.
I'm not asking any of you to write/read a fucking study or thesis on food proteins. I'm also not saying one or two degrees matters and you need to rigidly check all your chicken and bin it if it's more than a degree off.
I'm a chef who lifts, and I'm simply commenting that if you spend a measly ten bucks on a food probe, and take five seconds to check your food before you serve it, you won't get the shitty dry chicken that all my lifting buddies constantly complain about.
Sauces are, of course, very important in creating a kick-ass dish, but so is cooking your ingredients right.
So I'm the only one who makes a stew from diced chicken breast in salsa with some addition of frozen vegetables? Very juicy and delicious, and you can experiment with the taste by adding different seasonings to the stew during the cooking process
>>35755990
Do not listen to these people. 30 minutes is FAR too long for chicken. 375 for 18 minutes (at least in my oven) has been sufficient and leaves the chicken extremely juicy. I rub olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken before I put it in the oven.
>>35755643
>smash chicken flatter to increase surface area and decrease cooking time
>rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels
>season with salt, pepper, pinch of garlic salt, red cayenne powder, cumin, pinch of hot chili powder, oregano
>lightly coat pan with olive oil to prevent sticking
>cook chicken on medium-high heat for 3ish minutes on each side
>wa la
Quick, moist, tasty chicken with easy cleanup
Dice it up, add salt + pepper + cayenne pepper, spray some non-stick cooking spray (pam or something) and shove them one by one up your asshole.
Fuck taste, it's all about tricking your digestive system into activating maximum protein synthesis for dem sick gainz brah.

Buy chickenlegs in bulk. They're cheap.
Stove them in a pot with butter, some unions, salt, pepper and other spices to your liking.
When cooked through, heat up a pan really hot and bake them on the skin.
If skin is brown and crispy, enjoy your chicken.

As I said in my other post, it's as a result of being a chef, but it's also a cheap solution that takes 5 seconds and stops people over-cooking their chicken until it's like dry rubber.
How many of you would honestly eat pink chicken?
At work we have a Rational oven that can cook a whole tray of chicken breasts in about 8 minutes if you whack the steam saturation right up. Lovely, juicy, pinkish chicken that tastes nicer than steak and I could eat it all day.

Olive oil at heat heat becomes cancer. Look it up. Use coconut oil.

This is the best recipe there is, prove me wrong.
Never understood what's wrong with actually cooking chicken so it will taste good. Rotisserie? Curried? Brown Stewed? Jerked? Why do you have to eat spiceless chicken

Oven at 450, cover chicken in olive oil and seasonings of your choice. Bake for 10 min, turn chicken over, add a bit more oil to the top, bake another 10 minutes. Best way I have found to actually cook chicken. The flavor comes from toppings man, just look up how to season shit and you'll be good to go.

How much chicken breast does /fit/ eat a day anyways? I have about 250g per meal 2x a day. So 500g a day. Is this a reasonable amount to have? I count that it's like 150g of protein which Is quiet a bit.

Always works. I forgot to get mah greens and spices last night so I just had chicken, onions and rice. More filling than my usual spanish scrambled eggs.
Get some aluminum foil. Put a lemon slice in it. Put the chicken in it with black pepper. Close the aluminium foil and some oil in there. Cook. Juicy and Tasty.

1. Slice two green bell peppers into strips
2. Slice onion
3. Slice 3 chicken breasts into about 5 strips per breast.
4. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and cumin
5. Heat a large pan with a bit of vegetable oil
6. Cook chicken
7. Add peppers and onions and continue to saute
8. Place in tortillas
Easy Fajitas.
>>35755689
This. Try not to cook it too much (hence the medium heat) so it stays fresh. It's goddamn delicious and takes like 15 minutes.
If you wanna take your time with it, you can slice it a bit and pour salt water and spices inside the cuts, then leave it seasoning for a couple of hours.
>>35756843
except it does? you can stir fry cubed chicken in salt/garlic/pepper and it tastes great.
>>35762139
Pro chicken thigh recipe:
Get a heavy pan.
Put it on the stove over medium heat.
Put some olive oil in the pan.
Put the thighs in the pan skin side down.
Leave alone for 20 minutes. Flip. Leave alone for 15 minutes.
yfw delicious chicken with skin that's crispy as fuck.
>>35755643
cut it up and stir fry it with some vegetables

put in ziploc with 4-6 chicken breasts
close so there's no air
let marinate for a few hours
bake 25-35 minutes at 375 (pull out at 25 and check if they're cooked)
there you go. store in a glass container with all the juices & stuff and it'll just get better as it sits. Also don't eat chicken that's sat around for more than 3 or 4 days.
>>35755643
Honestly the best way I've found is to stack them 3 inches deep in a covered pot, and let them simmer for an hour
They'll be juicy and fall apart, and you can mix any seasoning you want in the pot

I made fried rice with chicken a few weeks ago. Wish I had found this thread beforehand, my chicken was dry and boring as shit. I'll post just because I have nothing better to do.
>salt and pepper
>rice
>eggs
>soy sauce
>chicken (already cooked, I've never used raw chicken)
>onions
>butter or oil
cook brown rice beforehand but make sure it's fresh
have two pans being heated up, one small and one good sized (preferably a wok but use what you have)
melt a small, small amount of butter in the smaller pan
add a small handful of diced onions and let them cook until they're getting dark. I prefer my edges crispy but do what you like.
once they're ready, mix up an egg or two (one egg if it's just for yourself, one more egg for every 1 or 2 people extra if you're cooking for others as well) and scramble it with the onions still in the pan. the eggs should have a blackish tint to them.
Now onto the wok. Add another small bit of butter, but not too small. Then add your rice and mix it up. Add salt and pepper, and your chicken. Not too much salt though since the soy sauce will be adding more.
Add some soy sauce now, enough to get all the rice darker than it was. A little bit goes a lot longer than you'd expect, but sometimes you just need more.
Now add the egg and onion mixture and mix it up very well.
Enjoy. Depending on how much rice you made, you can almost get 2 full plates
It's pretty cheap since I used canned chicken breast because time crunch, but I'd like to try it with shrimp. Or fresh chicken that I cook using instructions from this board. I think I'll do this one again for lunch tomorrow.
