How Many Different Ways Can You Cook a Chicken?

How Many Various Ways Can You Prepare a Chicken?

The actual often-asked question to cooks all over is "undefined how you can cook". It challenges me to ask myself how many methods of cooking are there out there that can be placed on the main ingredient. Let's try this with the ever-so-famous poultry. And mind you, each and every part of the chicken could be turned into a dish. Have you heard of chicken feet as a specialty?

This Goan Crab Curry Recipe is really a very tasty and delicious recipe everyone in my family really love it and if you too want to try this recipe you can get it from Quichentell website they have really given the steps and method of the recipe so well there.

I will go in alphabetical order so that we are able to add on if we discover more.

1. Bake - there are lots of recipes to bake a chicken; either whole (a.k.a. roasting) or even chicken pieces/breasts. We can also bake beautiful chicken pies.

2. Blanche - you can put the chicken into boiling hot water first, and then into ice-cold water, before grilling the meat. That way you get to lock the juices in. Also, the water used for boiling can be used as poultry stock.

3. Boil - boiling chicken either becomes you a nice chicken soup or even chicken can be boiled before shredding and offered as garnishing for noodles soup dishes. Also boiling the chicken before grilling shortens the cooking food time.

You can furthermore dual boil a chicken; this is slow cooking food over a few hours, requiring you to cook the chicken in a pot positioned into another pot of boiling water. It is prepared using indirect heat for a more even cooking. Delicious but you have to be patient for the end result.

4. Braise - this really is like stewing; you include liquid just enough to cover the meats (dark soy sauce or just water) and let the chicken prepare slowly. This is usually accomplished for tough chicken items, like the "Ayam kampong" (the tough free-range chicken).

5. Broil - this is like grilling chicken; we moisten the chicken pieces with some gravy, put them on a baking pan, and cook them for a few minutes. These are lovely for sandwiches or salads.

6. Ferment - yes you can ferment chicken and bake it thereafter. Sounds like a specialty.

7. Freezing - freezing is arguably a technique of cooking; cooking without heat. Works for ice creams, sherbets, and yogurts, however don't think you should try it on chicken though.

8. Fry - this is common in Asian recipes. There are lots of delicious recipes for deep-frying chicken. We use a "Kuali" or wok for this for best results. The other is stir-frying. Again, the best results are produced using the wok. This is fast and shallow frying on high heat. Juices are kept in and the chicken is cooked in small pieces for quick cooking. Best offered hot. You can cook simple one-dish meals, like fried koay teow, using this method. Yummy!

9. Grill - one of the more common methods of cooking chicken is to grill or barbecue.

10. Microwave - is that a cooking food method? You can add some spices and seasoning and microwave the chicken. What cooking method is it then if not microwaving?

Quichentell provides very easy methods of all recipes on their sites so well. I was browsing the internet for Keema Fried Rice and came across their site. I could make this delicious recipe all because of the easy methods they provided on their website. If you too wish to make this recipe for your family do visit their sites.
