Chicken
Used in 3 recipes on RecipeWiki.
Chicken on this page means the bird in several forms: a whole chicken, bone-in pieces, and boneless, skinless meat. A whole bird, as in Roast Chicken with Lemon and Thyme, gives crisp skin, juicy dark meat and bones for stock afterwards; boneless meat is minced and shaped for the delicate Pozharsky Cutlets, and jointed pieces simmer in Mole Poblano. Thighs stay moist through long cooking, while breast dries out quickly and wants shorter, gentler heat. For crisper skin, pat the bird dry and leave it uncovered in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. Rest a roast chicken for fifteen minutes before carving so the juices settle.
