What should I look for in a chicken breast?
Press against the chicken. If you’re buying a whole bird, look for plump breasts and more breast meat than leg meat. Press against the chicken’s breastbone to get an idea of its age: if it feels flexible, the chicken is younger and the meat should be tender.
What are the secrets to a quick, succulent & juicy pan fried chicken breast ?
- Always make sure of the oil temperature. High oil temperature results in quick outer cooking leaving the meat inside raw. So always cook them over a lo-medium flame.
- Do not crowd the pan with more pieces, this will result in dropping the oil temperature too low. This results in making the chicken pieces oily. So 1 or 2 pieces on a pan will be good.
- I prefer the chicken breasts with little skin over them. You can either use skinned or skinless.
- For chicken pieces to be marinated properly I prefer gashing the pieces with a knife. Gashing is optional if you are using small pieces.
How to make pan fried chicken breast?
Pan Fried Chicken Breast Recipe | Juicy and Tender Indian Style Fry | with step by step photos, and video. This Indian style recipe uses a marinade of the spices and herbs available from our pantry only. You can get the same taste and feel of the grilled breast recipe, using a skillet also. Firstly, gash the pieces for a proper marination. The marinate and allow it to rest for a minimum of 30 minutes. Further the breasts are pan fried over a medium heat until it is cooked perfectly. Cooking over a high flame can turn the exterior dark leaving the meat raw. Thick chicken breast won’t cook through over high heat before the exterior noticeably dries out. Instead, a chicken breast needs to be sliced in half, even in three pieces, if it’s particularly large and thick. Cook each side for 5 to 8 minutes with flip flopping the pieces.
