Baking your chicken in the oven

Baking your chicken in the oven is one of the best ways to cook it while avoiding fat.

Cooked this way, you’ll have tender meat that’s moist on the inside with crispy skin on top. The key to perfect baked chicken is how long you cook it.

A small guide on how to cook chicken in the oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350 °F or 180°C.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and season both sides with pepper and salt (or any seasoning you want).
• Place chicken breast side by side and cook for 20 minutes.
• Turn over and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
• Serve immediately

Grilling you chicken

You might be thinking, how can I cook chicken without any fat? But the truth is that it’s possible with a few easy-to-follow steps and simple cooking techniques.

With this technique, there are two ways of grilling your chicken: either by grilling it on the barbecue or in a grilling pan:

• To cook your chicken in a grilling pan as well as on the bbq, prepare the grill by heating it to medium-high heat.
• Season your chicken with pepper and salt, or with any spices or herbs you desire.
• Add the rawly seasoned (get creative with your seasoning) chicken to the grill and cook for 5 minutes, then flip the chicken and cook on the opposite side for another five minutes.
• Repeat this process 3 to 5 times, or until the chicken is cooked through

Cooking plain chicken in a frying pan

You can cook chicken without oil or butter in a frying pan by adding some water to your pan, this process is called braising. But I personally wouldn’t recommend it because it’s tasteless and very easy to mess up.

With marinade

Cooking chicken with marinade gives your meal a lot more flavor but it takes a little bit more time.

A marinade is an easy way to add flavor and make it taste delicious! Marinades often just require some vinegar or lemon juice plus your favorite spices.
