Hi this was the first meal I've ever made. The chicken was moist but a little tough/chewy. How to fix??Oven-roasted chicken 400f for 25min, rubbed in olive oil and seasoned with some texas shitBaked potatoPan-fried asparagus because I wanted green on the plate
>>22070982Get a meat thermometer they are cheap as fuckFollow the instructions of the recipe Remove the chicken when the internal temperature reaches the minimum for the chicken to be fully cooked There is no reason for your chicken to be chewy you just overcooked it you don't need a better technique or extra steps yes better techniques exist and so do extra steps no you shouldn't be considering making this harder for yourself until you can manage to cook fucking chicken without fucking it up
>>22070982always wet or dry brine chicken, only cook breast to 155f then pull, let rest for 5 min before eating
>>22070982Gotta follow the ABCs of cookingAlwaysBrineChickenBut looks pretty solid for a first meal, well done.
>>22070982looks good, oh pee. Like the other anons said you just have to be careful with the temp especially with breasts. Try thighs next time
>>22070982Your mistake was using chicken. You aren't a fox anon. Eat pork and beef.
>>22070982Looks really good anon. Particularly the potato with garnishing. Well done!
that bbq sauce came pre packaged didnt it
>>22070982Use thigh not breast, fo exactly same thing
