SOME TIPS/ PRINCIPLES INVOLVED IN CHICKEN COOKERY:
- Generally, low temperature is desirable. Since chicken is a protein food, it easily toughens at high temperature. Low temperature produces meat that is tender and evenly cooked.
- During roasting, the skin may become dry and hard, because chicken contains only a small amount of fats, fat maybe added to prevent it from drying up.
- If the chicken is floured or breaded, set aside for 10 minutes before frying to allow the coating to adhere to the chicken.
- Paprika and salt may be added to flavor the chicken. Paprika improves the color ang aids in giving the chicken a crisp surface.
