How to cook chicken

Cooking methods

Chicken is a dish that can be enjoyed in a thousand different ways, from the healthiest (charcoal grilled, grilled or spit-roasted, which maintains all the flavour and qualities of the chicken without adding extra fat), to more elaborate, tasty methods such as oven-roasted, oven-baked, delicious fried chicken or comforting chicken stock with vegetables.
When we cook chicken, it is important to cook it well. To achieve this, the minimum temperature inside the meat should reach 74º C.
The longer we cook this food, the greater number of nutrients are lost and the meat, which is already low in fat, could become too dry. That’s why fast-cooking methods such as grilling, charcoal grilling and roasting are more healthy and juicy, beyond any fats that are added.
