Chicken breast is a versatile and healthy protein choice, often selected for its lean meat and adaptability to various cuisines. However, specific techniques are necessary to retain moisture and ensure tenderness to achieve an exceptionally juicy breast. If not applied correctly, many people may be disappointed. An expert shared a simple trick that makes the dish exceptionally juicy, and the steps are easy to follow.

A well-known TikTok chef @ketorecipes revealed his secret for "the juiciest chicken breasts," which are so well prepared in terms of texture that they practically "drip with natural juices." The video captured the attention of food enthusiasts, showing appetising results using simple steps.

The secret to juicy chicken breast

First, marinate the chicken breast using a mixture of spices, yoghurt, lemon juice, and a "secret" ingredient. The secret is to add a pinch of bicarbonate of soda, which softens the meat fibres. Next, the expert suggests allowing the chicken to reach room temperature before frying on medium heat with a lid for three and a half minutes. The next step is to flip the chicken and cook for another seven minutes. After that, it's recommended to let the chicken breast rest for five minutes before serving on a plate. According to @ketorecipes, this method guarantees perfect chicken every time.

How to serve chicken?

Chicken is one of the most popular meats for dinner, and its preparation can be simple and delicious. An example is the recipe for marinated chicken drumsticks, which become juicy and full of flavour thanks to a marinade of ketchup and honey. This dish is perfect for a daily dinner, satisfying both adults and children.

Another dinner idea is baked chicken with vegetables. This is a healthy alternative to frying, allowing the use of various vegetables lingering in the fridge. Baking in the oven makes the dish less calorific and more aromatic, and preparing the whole meal in one dish is convenient.

Rotisserie chicken is a classic that brings back memories from the times of the Polish People's Republic. A home rotisserie allows for preparing juicy chicken with crispy skin. Although this equipment might cause smoke in the kitchen, the final result is worth it. Rotisserie chicken is a dish that delights with taste and aroma.

Each of these chicken recipes offers something unique from juicy drumsticks in marinade to healthy casseroles with vegetables to traditional rotisserie chicken. Each is simple to prepare and doesn't require special culinary skills, making them ideal for a quick dinner.
