7 Tips About Pressure Cookers You Can't Afford To Miss
Top Tips for Slow-Cooker Chicken & Turkey
Given that it is among the leanest proteins you'll find, chicken is a valuable option for those watching calories,
fat, and cholesterol. But like most lean proteins, chicken can be a challenge to keep moist and yummy--
Especially in the slow cooker, where you have less control over temperature. It's not unusual to see simple
Recipes result in chicken that is dry, bland, and unappealing. Here's What we've learned about getting hot,
Flavorful chicken from the slow cooker.
One-Hour Ranges Are Key
We found that the only way to cook chicken (and turkey) at a slow cooker is on the low setting and for a
Relatively short amount of time. We recommend that until you have experience cooking chicken in your slow
Cooker, start checking the temperature of chicken breasts (boneless and bone-in), whole chicken, and turkey
Breasts at the low end of this temperature range to ward off dry, overcooked poultry.
Other hand, are more forgiving, making them particularly well suited to the slow cooker because their dark meat
Becomes meltingly tender during the long cooking period; for this reason, we cook them more than bone-in or
Boneless breasts, and we don't check their tempe
rature. Longer cooking times are also needed in soups or
Casseroles in which the meat is insulated by other ingredients.
When cooking a whole chicken in the slow cooker, our testers discovered that placing the chicken breast side
Down yields a moister bird since the juices out of the dark meat leave down into the breast, keeping it out of
Becoming overcooked as the dark meat reaches the proper temperature.
Remove the Skin
Chicken can be a healthy option as long as you remove the skin and cut away any unwanted fat.
Oz) bone-in split chicken breast with skin has almost 23 grams more fat than its skinless equivalent, which
Has only 9 grams of fat--that's a difference worth dealing with.
Paper towel provides extra grip. For whole cows with skin that is more difficult to eliminate, we wait till
They are completely cooked and carved before removing skin.
Dress It Up with a Sauce or Negative
While in certain recipes chicken is smothered in heavy sauces, we found that savory sides and bright vinaigrettes
Bring dishes to life without excessive calories and fat. Heartier vegetables like carrots and bell peppers can
cook right alongside the chicken. They help to season the chicken as it cooks and maintain the final meal packed
with flavor. For a big-flavor finish, we like to drizzle chicken with simple vinaigrettes created with sunny
Citrus juice and fresh herbs like mint and cilantro.
