Frequently asked questions

Which cut of chicken is best for everyday cooking?

Chicken fillet is the quickest and most versatile, while thighs and wings are juicier and cheaper. For quick meals take the fillet, for richer dishes choose a thigh or a whole chicken.

How do I keep chicken from drying out?

Do not overcook it — a chicken fillet needs 4 to 6 minutes per side over medium-high heat. A marinade with yoghurt or olive oil helps to keep the meat juicy.

What goes with chicken?

The most common sides are rice, potatoes, pasta, salad and roast vegetables. See the Side dishes hub for more ideas.
