Advice

When making chicken, it is important to choose the right cut of meat for the desired dish. Consider the flavor and texture that you want, as well as the cooking method you plan to use. Thighs and drumsticks are best for dishes that require a longer cooking time, while breasts are best for shorter cooking times. If you're going to be marinating your chicken, be sure to do so for at least a few hours, or even overnight for best results. When you're ready to cook your chicken, make sure to season it well and to preheat your oven or skillet to the proper temperature. Finally, keep an eye on the chicken's temperature and cook it until it is done, then let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
