FAQS
Why use bone-in chicken breast?
The bone helps keep these breasts moist and tender because they help distribute heat evenly through the meat. The skin also seals in moisture and juiciness.
Is it better to cook chicken breast in an oven or pan?
While baking and pan-frying can give you tasty, juicy chicken, it is better to pan-fry if you are in a hurry.
I hope that at least one of these recipes will inspire you to step out of your comfort zone and try new and exciting flavors!
