Chicken meat is considered a dietary product. Especially the breast, which is practically free of fat. Chicken cooks very quickly, especially if you marinate it first.
Chicken breast - how best to fry it
To make a chicken dish truly dietary, it must be fried with a minimum amount of oil. Better yet, in a special frying pan that allows you to cook food without adding fat. To prevent the breast from burning, you can add a little water.
When frying chicken, you can use breading or batter. Then the juice will not evaporate, the pieces will be very tender - soft and juicy. But the breading itself is a fairly high-calorie product. This dish can no longer be called dietary.
Pre-marinated chicken breast does not take long to cook. If you cut it into pieces 3-5 centimeters long and no more than 2 centimeters wide, then 10 minutes is enough for frying. Turn the chicken over about 5 minutes after placing it in the pan. Stir the pieces a couple of minutes before cooking.
Whole chicken breast takes longer to cook. On each side, it is fried for 10 minutes. Readiness inside can be checked with a toothpick. She needs to pierce a piece in the thickest place and see if there is a reddish juice. If it is not there, and the toothpick remains dry, the chicken is ready.
If the chicken has not been pre-marinated, it will take longer to cook. Small pieces are fried for about 20 minutes, large pieces - up to half an hour. During the cooking process, the chicken must be turned over several times for even frying.
Legs, drumsticks, chickens - how much to fry
The tobacco chicken is cooked the longest. Especially if a large carcass is caught. On each side, it is fried for at least half an hour. It is best to cook the chicken under the lid, putting the oppression on it. The chicken turns over once. In this way, the skin is fried until golden crisp.
Fried chicken is best served with stewed vegetables and long grain or brown rice. Just as a side dish, a regular vegetable salad of cucumbers and tomatoes, seasoned with herbs and olive oil, is perfect.
Chicken legs and drumsticks are fried for 35-40 minutes. If they were previously marinated, then the time can be reduced by 10 minutes. To get a delicious and beautiful golden crust, you can coat the chicken with soy sauce, adding a little honey. To keep the chicken lean, you need to add very little oil to the pan. If suddenly the pieces start to burn, you can add a tablespoon of water or soy sauce.
