    @eddavanleemputten9232 Před 6 měsíci +334

    The butter-injected chicken makes sense. I remember a Russian neighbour of mine serving me her version of Chicken Kiev. Basically it was chicken breast stuffed with butter, then breaded and fried. Perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and when you cut into it with your knife a little fountain of melted butter would run onto your plate. Absolutely delicious. I’ve tried to replicate it and never quite managed to. Getting close but not quite there.
    Chicken breast can be made to be very tasty. I believe the issue most of us have with it has various causes:
    1. Most chicken is mass-produced, raised to grow as fast as possible to be big enough to be butchered, fed with feed that is as cheap as possible. If you spend more money and get free range chicken that fed on grasses, herbs, bugs as well as high quality feed, and that got to move around some before giving its life for your food, it tastes very different.
    2. We’ve all been served those tasteless, under-seasoned, overcooked chicken breasts that are bone dry and rubbery. If that.s what you associate with chicken breast, no wonder you don’t like it. It tastes like what I imagine shredded tennis balls would taste like.
    Chicken breast that has spent some time in a well seasoned spiced brine and then gets smoked until just done, is something entirely different. Or marinaded and then prepared sous vide, before being finished off with a glaze yields a juicy, tasty protein.
    Or even simply seasoned (but not under-seasoned!), and then finished off in a pan with butter, garlic and herbs, but again not overdone and PLEASE, not kept warm for ages to turn it into rubber… really good.sous vide makes that one easier but with a bit of practice you can do it in a pan successfully. I use the sous vide ever since I got one. I buy large family packs of breasts, pop them in sous vide bags with the various spices/rubs/marinades of my choice, pop them in the freezer and take them out as needed. Defrost, sous vide and finish off for a quick and easy meal on days I work from home but know I’ll he half brain dead as soon as I shut off my computer. The defrosting starts in the morning. It only takes a few seconds to set up the sous vide on time and I can do my thing until it’s time to heat up my pan.

    I actually found a pretty good way to cook chicken breast. Brine it, and add some spice to the brine. I do nashville hot season mix and red pepper flakes. I brine it for 2 days with a bit less salt than a typical 1 day brine. After it is brined, wipe it off (don't rinse it), dry the outside, and lightly coat it in fake powder chicken stock. Let it rest to come up to room temp and let the powdered chicken stock set, then pan fry it and finish in oven at 300f (pretty standard cooking method). The fake chicken stock really helps with browning and adds flavor without overpowering the natural chicken flavor.

    Guga's opinion on chicken breasts might be the only thing I've disagreed with him on. I *love* chicken breast - you just have to be careful not to dry it out. Sous vide at 149 for 1.5 hours with salt/pepper/rosemary/thyme/oregano in the bag (don't pound it out - leave it thick), FAST pan sear in barely smoking avocado oil to make a crust without overcooking and making it dry/rubbery, then served over wild rice with a chardonnay pan sauce is one of my all time favorite meals. Or cut into strips, bread, air fry, and coat in homemade buffalo sauce for buffalo chicken subs. And don't get me started on chicken parm

    I actually prefer the breast to the dark meat. It has a clean and balanced flavor. The dark meat has more flavor, but some notes taste a little off to me. High heat for less time seems to prevent them from drying out.

    • @nocount7517
      @nocount7517 Před 6 měsíci +11

      Ditto. For me, it's more about the texture, but flavor plays an almost equivalent role. I prefer the flavor and texture of the breast. Dark meat, like thighs, are loaded with fat and gristle, which, for me, is a huge no.

    Dead-simple delicious poultry injection for seasoned extra juicy meat:
    One 14.5 ounce can of chicken broth
    Two sticks of butter (a half-pound of butter)
    One 6.75 oz shaker of table blend Mrs. Dash
    Pour the chicken broth into a microwave-safe bowl. Add the butter and heat for one minute on high. Stir the mixture until all the butter is melted. Add one-half of a full shaker of table-blend Mrs. Dash and stir. Using a large-gauge needle, draw the marinade into a meat syringe and inject deeply into the thickest parts of the meat. Stir the marinade between injections to keep the spices in suspension. This recipe makes enough marinade for three average chickens or one medium turkey.

    I disagree about why someone would eat chicken breast, Guga. The other reasons are it's easier to harvest than the meat off a thigh or drumstick, and its tougher quality makes it more ideal for certain applications, like chicken salad sandwiches, chicken noodle soup, and pulled chicken barbecue sliders - things where some people want a bit of chew and moisture is being provided by other things.

    Butterfly them in a way so that the chicken is as evenly thick as possible, pan sear it, throw in butter at the end, pull chicken when ready, let the butter/chicken/fond cool a bit while the chicken rests.
    Then just cut the chicken breast and drizzle the butter juice mixture on top.
    Pretty sure you will get a similar taste/effect. Maybe even more since the butter will work with the fond.

    Guga have you ever done the old trick of covering (lightly) a chicken breast in mayo? Supposedly (according the commercials when I was a kid) the mayo helps seal in the juices so you don't end up with a dry chicken breast.I think I tired it, but for a long time I used to eat hot pockets for dinner and liked it, so I think I have blanked out all my culinary attempts to try forget about years of hot pockets and pizza rolls.

    • @user-sp8sw7vt5k
      @user-sp8sw7vt5k Před 6 měsíci +1

      I can confirm the mayo chicken trick tastes great, what I do is mix the mayo with parmesan + herbs to add more flavor, too. Ideally enough parmesan to make the mix a thick paste. That being said I'm not sure it's the mayo keeping it moist as I always butterfly the chicken beforehand so it can cook in 20 minutes, which serves the purposes of A) getting it ready relatively fast and B) not giving the mayo enough time to burn WHICH IN TURN keeps the chicken from drying out. I tried cooking butterflied chicken without mayo to get it cooked through for a casserole using the same temperature (425F) and cook time (20 min) and it was about as juicy as what you'd get from mayo

Also I'd wager my chicken breast even fried is better for my heart than that butter abomination....look I get "Fat=Flavor" but that's WAY too much butter....that right there is a heart attack on a plate if you eat more than one of them. I at least shallow pan fry my chicken when I fry it. If I DID inject butter...I promise you it would NOT be a whole pound.
