Are you cooking chicken breasts or thighs? Are they bone in or bone out? What's the benefit of brining chicken? What's the best way to cook chicken legs? Grilling? Baking? Pan Searing? Chicken is insanely common. It's likely the most common protein on the American table, with many families eating chicken several times a week. And there is no shortage of fantastic chicken recipes...you'll find several right here. But more important than any chicken recipe, is knowing How to Cook Chicken! You can read a recipe for roast chicken...but dose that tell you how to brine? or why?

Browse around, read, watch the videos, and most importantly practice cooking...and you'll quickly learn the best ways to cook chicken.
