Chicken has always been a popular ingredient when it comes to cooking hearty and delicious meals. Here are some more tips and tricks to help you cook the perfect chicken dish:


Different ways to cook chicken

  • Grilling chicken is a great way to add a smoky flavour to your dish. Preheat grill to medium heat and cook chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  • Pan-searing chicken is another great option. Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat, then add chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  • Slow-cooking chicken is a great option for those who want a tender and flavourful dish. Place chicken in a slow cooker with your favourite seasonings and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
