Frequently asked questions

How do I keep chicken breast from drying out?

Don't overcook it — a few minutes per side and a short rest under foil is usually plenty. A quick marinade or a coating helps the meat hold its juices.

How long does a whole chicken take to roast?

A bird around a kilo and a half needs roughly an hour to an hour and a quarter at 180–200 °C. It's done when the thigh juices run clear, or when a thermometer in the thickest part reads 74 °C.

Which part of the chicken is best for what?

Breasts are lean and quick, thighs are juicier and forgive longer cooking. For stock and soup, reach for a whole bird, wings, or necks.

Should I wash chicken before cooking?

Don't — water won't kill the bacteria, it just splashes them around your kitchen. Pat the meat dry with a paper towel and let the cooking heat handle the rest.

What can I make with chicken fast?

A chicken stir-fry, curry, pasta, or a salad with grilled breast is on the table in half an hour.
