What Are Some Easy Ways to Cook Chicken?

Straightforward and uncomplicated, chicken is a relatively easy-to-cook ingredient. Here are a few methods you can use to prepare mouthwatering meals:

• Stir-frying

When in need of a quick and easy yet delectable and nutritious dinner, consider stir-frying your chicken with some veggies and a hearty sauce. Everything comes together in one pan in less than 30 minutes, giving you a dish layered with flavors and texture. The best part is their versatility: you can easily adjust them to your taste.

• Grilling

Grilled chicken instantly captivates the taste buds with its distinctive smoky undertone and charred skin. When thoroughly brined or marinated, the meat becomes delectably tender while being infused with rich flavors.

Even though grilled chicken is a cookout staple, you can easily turn it into a main dish for a cozy dinner by serving it alongside pasta, rice, or salads.

• Baking/Roasting

Whether you’re making simple comfort food or a fancy feast centerpiece, the oven is almost always a reliable choice for cooking chicken. Baking and roasting are hands-off methods that give you succulent chicken with juicy, flavorful skin without having to put in too much effort.

Depending on the recipe, the chicken can be stuffed or cooked with various herbs, spices, and veggies to further diversify its flavors.

Different Chicken Cuts You Can Make

Chicken cuts are incredibly diverse, each with distinctive characteristics to suit personal preferences. Here are some popular choices:

• Breasts

This is a lean and boneless cut that comes from the underside of the chicken. It’s tender, flavorful, incredibly versatile, and suitable for various methods, such as frying, grilling, baking, and roasting. However, it can turn out quite dry and bland, so make sure to thoroughly brine, season, or marinate it before cooking.

• Thighs

Chicken thighs are dark meat that contains a higher amount of fat, making them richer in taste and far more succulent than other white meat lean cuts. This quality makes them easier to work with since they can remain juicy, tender, and flavorful even when slightly overcooked.

Check out our list of chicken thigh recipes to explore ways to transform this cut into out-of-this-world delicious dishes.

• Wings

For game days and casual get-togethers, a golden plate of crispy chicken wings drenched in a glossy sauce is arguably a staple. This meat cut is tender and scrumptious and can be made with a simple fry, roast, or bake that ensures maximum flavors for very little effort.

What Goes Well With Chicken?

Chicken’s mild and delicate flavor makes it the perfect canvas for endless ingredient pairings. For foolproof and no-fuss combinations that are guaranteed to turn out great, check out the following options:

• Potatoes

This root vegetable’s creamy texture and subtle sweetness make for a classic pairing that enhances the chicken’s taste. Your choices can vary tremendously, ranging from French fries, mashed potatoes, potato salads, and roasted potatoes to hash browns.

• Spinach

Another delectable combo you can try out is spinach and chicken. This veggie’s grassy undertone pairs incredibly well with the chicken’s delicate flavor. Cook them with a creamy sauce, and you’ll have a comfort dish with unparalleled taste.

• Roasted Veggies

In addition to the two options mentioned above, veggies like carrots, broccoli, artichokes, corn, and sweet potatoes also mesh well with chicken. Coat them in selected spices or sauces, and then roast for a healthy, effortless, and flavorful side dish. The hearty taste goes particularly well with dishes that are cooked with high-heat methods like baking, grilling, or frying.
