Chicken dinner tips
Here are some of my tips for getting the juiciest, most delicious chicken:
- Cook high and quickly– boneless skinless chicken breasts benefit from high and fast cooking- check out my Perfect Baked Chicken Breast here!
- Use a rack– for bone-in chicken thighs, use a rack and convection heat for perfect, crispy skin. Check out my Perfect Baked Chicken Thighs here!
- Slice when cool– when cooking chicken for salads, let it cool completely before slicing. This helps seal all the juices in.
- 4 days max– after cooking, you can store cooked chicken in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freeze in marinade– one of my favorite meal prep tips that went totally viral in 2016 was this post with 7 Chicken Marinades You Can Freeze. So much flavor and makes dinner a total breeze!
