Easiest way to cook a breast. Preheat oven to 200 C/ 390 F. Get a breast fillet with the skin on and bone still attached. Heat up a frying pan till its very hot, season chicken with salt and pepper both sides. Pour oil in hot pan and lay the breast skin side down in there. Cook for a minute or so until the skin is nice and golden, turn breast over and repeat. Put the pan straight in the oven if it is suitable or onto a tray. Cook for 10 mins or so until the chicken is just firm but still with a slight spring. Rest and serve.
That's a good way of locking the moisture in. I normally just shove it in the oven with some tinfoil over it, comes out pretty good but i'd imagine not as good as sealing it first. I'll have to try that.

Thigh though, arrghgh, it's got everything i like. Crispy skin, some dark meat and lots of moist tender white meat - yeah, the white meat hasnt got alot of flavour, but it's still nice to eat because it's so tender. It's like the chinese takeaway does by me, the meat just melts in your mouth. Insanely nice to eat. On the bone obviously. I like drumsticks but it's not something i'd buy, just something i'd mooch off people at a BBQ - like last sunday. Damn, the burgers were good too - steak burgers. Wow. Proper meat burgers, not dodgy minced up crap.
LIP Reviewed by LIP on . Chicken: What's your favorite part? So what is it? Mine is the chicken breast. I love it so much. Its so juicy and flavorful if cooked properly. To me nothing can beat a good fried chicken breast. Because then, you get the crunchy breaded skin which everyone knows is the best. Rating: 5
