Chicken dishes are quite relevant both for a modest family dinner and for a gala dinner party. This meat is versatile. You can make both a low-calorie and a hearty meat lunch from it. Everything will depend on which parts of the chicken you choose to eat.
You can simply, quickly and very tasty cook chicken fillet. To prepare the dish, in addition to fillet, you will need one onion, about 300 g of champignons. Use olive oil for frying. Onions should be peeled, cut into half rings, and sautéed in a frying pan. Add fillet, cut into thin slices, to the onion. Put the mushrooms in the same pan. It's good if they are slightly frozen. While the liquid from them evaporates, the fillet will have time to soak up the mushroom aroma. You can simply salt the finished fillet with mushrooms and, season with herbs, serve. Chicken fillet with mushrooms can be considered a low-calorie dish.
Simply, quickly and very tasty, you can fry chicken in a pan. If you have a whole carcass, cut it into portions. But chicken drumsticks are ideal for this dish. Place the portions in a deep frying pan with a little water. While cooking, wait until the water in the pan has almost completely evaporated. Then add vegetable oil, sprinkle the pieces of meat with herbs and seasonings, fry until tender. The cooking time depends on the size of the portions. You can determine the readiness of the meat by piercing a piece with a knife or fork. The chicken should remain soft and the crust should turn golden.
You can also cook a whole chicken in the oven. As a rule, the chicken must be marinated before frying. For the marinade, you can use lemon, mustard mixed with butter, a mixture of honey and butter. The taste of the finished chicken will depend on the marinade. Sweet and sour, spicy, or pungent, any of these go well with chicken. It is almost impossible to spoil it, since chicken is a universal product.
Unless you bake the meat to such an extent that the outer surface is covered with a characteristic crust. By the way, the same black crust on fried chicken will appear if you use purchased mayonnaise for the marinade. A common ingredient in chicken recipes is best replaced with a homemade sauce made of mustard, yolks and olive oil. It doesn't take long to prepare the sauce. The chicken will taste really noble. Homemade sauce cannot be compared to the commonplace and boring product that we are used to seeing on the shelves of most stores.
