HOW TO ENSURE YOUR CHICKEN THIGHS ARE COOKED THROUGH?

In case you are really used to cooking with chicken breast just keep in mind that the color of the cooked meat will be very different. Cook chicken breasts from pink to white, while chicken thighs cook darker, even slightly cooked through when done. So don’t be afraid if your thighs still have some color in them, as long as the internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit, you’re going well!

Know that we want a really moist end result with our chicken, so trust me on this and try cooking perfectly white chicken. I know it can be hard to say goodbye to this age-old belief, but for the sake of your taste buds, I highly recommend ditching the pink and embracing it!

CAN I USE CHICKEN BREAST?

Definitely! You should know that if the chicken breast is boneless and skinless it will cook faster, it should only take about 20 to 25 minutes. The best way to tell if chicken breast is when the internal temperature is 165 F degrees .

HOW TO BRINE YOUR CHICKEN?

In case you have the time, marinate the chicken in brine for 2 to 4 hours in a solution made of water, salt, and other things you might prefer like soy sauce or beer. The basic brine ratio is 1 tablespoon salt to 1 cup water. This will allow the seasoning to permeate the meat, resulting in more tender, flavorful, and juicy meat.

Leftovers

Refrigerator

For leftover chicken, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.

Frozen

Definitely! Freeze this stock in airtight containers for up to 3 months! Let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating it in the oven, on the stove, or in the microwave.

FREEZ GARLIC CHICKEN

Try to let the chicken breasts cool completely, then store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH BROWN SUGAR GARLIC CHICKEN?

Choose one type of carbohydrate food such as rice, Mexican potatoes, pasta, and vegetables. For serving, you can serve steamed vegetables or a side salad. Really, this chicken can be served with a variety of side dishes.

For me and my family we love it with white rice and salad. French fries would also be great.

COOKING WITH BONE IN SKIN ON CHICKEN THIGHS?

Now, I love chicken thighs any way you slice them, but today’s thighs recipe will be a little different if you choose to use this style of chicken thighs. You must make sure that the skin is still crispy and the chicken is fully cooked.

RECIPE TIPS

While baking the chicken breasts, you may notice that the brown sugar begins to burn on the edges of the casserole. In case this happens before the chicken is cooked through, just take the dish out of the oven and remove the burnt sugar with a spoon.

The sugar will stick to the spoon, so put it in a cup of water and let it soak until the sugar dissolves. You want to remove any burnt sugar before it gets too black. And this does not always happen, by the way.
