Feb. 4th, 2014 08:20 amI have to cook chicken today. Normally, I'd just stick it in the crock pot and let it go, but Scott has complained that the chicken we've had recently (all cooked that way) has been dry. He thinks that part of Cordelia's refusal to eat chicken comes from that.
I will brine the chicken for a couple of hours. I should have done it over night, but it completely slipped my mind last night. My cold symptoms were getting bad, and I was thinking more about that than about anything else.
I never thought I'd miss being able to grill (I don't care for grilled food), but it's nice, in good weather, to pass responsibility for cooking the meat off to Scott. The meat tends to come out juicy, too, and Cordelia's more willing to eat it.
Anyone have any tips or tricks for producing juicy chicken in the crock pot or oven?
ETA: I should note that I'm cooking boneless, skinless chicken breasts. That's what was cheapest when Scott was shopping, so that's what we've got this week.
