Whats the best way to cook chicken?

[Isabelle Turell]

For me I love grilling it. I am always looking for new ways to cook my chicken as it is the most exciting protein in my diet LOL. I know theres probably 101 ways to cook it.

So what is YOUR best way to cook it?

I boil it in spices until it's mid done, and then grill it or bake it. Always stays moist, always comes out delicious, and it never gets old. Dont use too much water that it makes a soup, and dont use so little that it evaporates before it's done.

The leftovers get cut into strips/fajitas and "fried" in Pam with spices or a touch of Teriyaki. I dont ever have a diet season so Im not worried about the Teriyaki. But for those who do, just use spices to taste and maybe a little water on the pan with the Pam to keep things moist and interesting. Me? sometimes I like it dry and crispy.

I always cook in bulk so I like to bake a few pounds of chicken with a little mac oil, garlic, pepper, and maybe a little sea salt. The chicken always stays so moist when it's baked. I used to always fry it in a pan but, it wasn't near as good.

Mine's boring...

- cut fat, slice up and place in non-stick bake pan.
- sprinkle with pepper, onion flakes and red pepper flakes.
- add about 1/4" water so that it's evenly distributed throughout the pan to help keep it moist.
- throw in the oven for about 35-40 minutes on 375 degrees.

I like coating it in some extra virgin olive oil, loading it up with some type of Mrs. Dash (today I used Garlic and Herb), and throwing it in the oven. I use the packets of thinly sliced chicken (cutting up chicken is nasty business, at least to me), so it cooks fast and stays moist, with a little bit of crispiness on the edges that are more thin than the rest.

Remember that Robert E Howard was very specific in the Conan novels: dangerously under cooked. And Conan is the template isn't he?

I cook in bulk and freeze. I like to use a slow cooker, leaves me with moist juicy tender chicken when defrosted. I throw in some herbs to add a little flavor or cook in a store brought stock. I have a large slow cooker so I can do 10-15 lean breasts at a time. 3-3.5 hours on high.

Toss it out on the charcoal pit and grill it. I like charcoal better than gas.
I use a steak seasoning and garlic powder to season.

Charcoal is the BEST way to go.

If not, I usually bake @ 300 degrees for 50 minutes.

Seasonings are whatever you're allowed on your diet.

I just cut my chicken breast really thin (fresh is best)
and then roll it around in coarse kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Then grill
seriously--thats all you need!

Lately I've been dredging in egg, coating in seasoned breadcrumbs and baking in my convection oven. Comes out crispy and juicy. I'm not too worried about the carbs from the breadcrumbs as they're relatively minimal.

I have a huge slow cooker that I can fit 2.5 chickens. I cook them nice and slow to seal the juices in. I take all of my seasonings and put them in a bag and then shake the hell out of those chickens before they hit the cooker. Somtimes I will have two chickens with different flavors in there! One mesquite and the other lemon pepper...

I have a steam cooker in which I cook EVERYTHING. With chicken coat in a little peanut butter for an alternative Thai Chicken. Then again I am no expert (that's Colette)..However...I LOVE my steam cooker and it is the only thing I cook with!
