Tips for cooking with chicken

  • Thighs stay juicier than breasts and forgive a few extra minutes in the pan, so they suit curries and traybakes.
  • Cut breasts into even pieces, or slice them in half through the middle, so they cook through at the same time.
  • Cook chicken until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink meat and clear juices.

Questions about chicken dinners

Can I use chicken breast or thighs in these videos?

Usually either. Most curries and stir-fries work with both. Thighs take a little longer and stay softer; breasts cook faster and dry out if overdone.

Can I pick a pork-free chicken dinner?

Yes. Choose "Pork-free" and we only pick from videos chosen for a pork-free diet whose title names no pork. Glance at the recipe too, as a title can miss an ingredient.

What goes with chicken for a quick dinner?

Rice, noodles or flatbreads are the fastest sides, and some of the videos cook the side in the same pan. If you have rice too, try the rice page.
