Chicken meat is one of the food ingredients in various types of dishes. The advantage of chicken meat lies in its delicious taste, soft texture, and ability to absorb spices well. Starting from simple dishes such as fried chicken and soup, to more complex menus such as grilled chicken and rendang.
Apart from being delicious, chicken meat also has high nutritional value, rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. High in protein, makes chicken a good source of energy and important for growth and repair of body tissue.
In some dishes, the chicken meat that is to be processed usually needs to be boiled or covered first. This process is important to make the meat cooked. Unfortunately, many people ignore the process of boiling chicken meat, so the texture is tough.
After investigating, the boiling process for each part of the chicken has a different duration, you know. An Instagram user @yenni_indah31 once shared a further explanation and trick when boiling chicken so that the results are perfectly cooked and remain juicy or soft.
" Boiling chicken at the right time can make the meat perfectly cooked but still juicy. But that's it, Buuun, the duration of boiling chicken apparently depends on the number of chickens and what part is being processed, Buuun," said Instagram @yenni_indah31, quoted by BrilioFood on Thursday (1/ 8).
Furthermore, boiled chicken breast pieces usually take 15-20 minutes to cook completely. If it is more than that, the texture of the chicken meat will become tough because it is too cooked. Well, the texture of chicken meat like this will certainly be more difficult to chew later.
This is different from the thighs, wings and claws which need to be boiled longer, namely only 20-30 minutes. So if you want to process chicken pieces, it's best to separate the breast, OK? That way, the texture can remain soft and not tough. In the video, Instagram user @yenni_indah31 also provides tricks when preparing whole chicken meat. If the whole chicken you want to cook weighs less than 2 kg, then you can cook or boil it for 30-40 minutes. Meanwhile, a whole chicken weighing more than 2 kg must be cooked longer, namely 40-60 minutes.
