buy better chicken

>>21406255
Doesn't matter, this was organic free-range chicken, the most expensive in the supermarket. Buying from a farmer directly is $15+ a pound so not really sustainable

I never have this problem. What the fuck is happening in some of your kitchens that you constantly have these bizarre problems that I've never, not once, ever encountered? You people talk about pasta sticking together, chicken made of water, lettuce rotting 38 minutes after you get it into the fridge, garlic turning bitter, having to shoo taffs away from the leg of lamb you just bought, avocados turning into toxic sludge because you looked at them funny, cake batters that won't rise without a bicycle horn etc etc etc
What the fuck are you all doing?

>>21406254 (OP)
I don't have this problem

>>21406254 (OP)
I have never had this problem with chicken. Are you preheating your pan properly and keeping the heat on high?

>>21406254 (OP)
your pan's not hot enough

>>21406264
who told you about my cake batter and bicycle horn trick?

Did you throw them in the pot immediately out of the packaging? Did you pat them dry, season (read: at min. salt) them, and put them back in the fridge to further dry? Or did you marinate them in a mix with too little oil, or too much amino/juice?
This screams amateur skill issue

>>21406264
Just cheap shit. Meat injected with water, low btu ranges, mystery metal cookware, barely edible produce grown, picked, and shipped as cheaply as humanly possible. It gets worse every year.

>>21406254 (OP)
skill issue poor guy

>>21406254 (OP)
Brine it first.

>>21406254 (OP)
>Anon doesn’t cook his chicken, the thread

>>21406254 (OP)
use more oil

>>21406256
You have to let it dry in a strainer if its chicken that comes in those airtight bags, like cold cuts, and not cellophaned trays, its easy for it to dry that way specially since you cut it in chunks

>>21406254 (OP)
Don't crowd the pan and why the fuck are you using a stock pot to fry chicken?

deep fry it duh

>>21406352
not him but you say this and yet it continues to be a (you) problem and not a ME problem. It's like every time I see crazy horseshit glitches in video games and I don't even get a crash when I play them. What are you doing wrong that I am not? I am not some bourgeois faggot buying premium cookware and ingredients. Do you shop exclusively at the dollar store?

>>21406254 (OP)
You are the prints of overcrowding your pot conglaturations

>>21406264
a bunch of poor internet addicted retards who don't know how to cook trying to prepare something more complicated than instant ramen

>>21406631
And you the prints of spelling

>>21406367
This, dry brine in the refrigerate uncovered overnight which will lightly dehydrate them then pat dry with paper towel before throwing them into a pan that is way more hot than you think should be as the meat will soak the heat immediately on contact which will drop it back down to wear it should be. Also try having the amount of chicken you attempt to cook at once. Yes it's annoying but it will directly contribute to better browning because small residential stove burners cannot really accommodate more than like 1/4 lbs of cold meat in an even layer to get past the boiling point of water to reach maillard reaction levels at a time.

>>21406558
>why the fuck are you using a stock pot to fry chicken?
surprised nobody else mentioned this, the deep pot is preventing water from evaporating at a fast enough rate.
OP is basically doing everything wrong lmao.

>>21406678
you brown in a stock pot in order for bits and pieces to caramelize at the bottom and then deglaze the pan and make whatever sauce you are making the problem is not drying the chicken which was probably thawed from freezer

>>21406254 (OP)
>zero steam
>no splatter marks on the sides of the pot
>neat separation of oil and water
This pot is so cold you could make ice cream in it.

>>21406256
It's the most expensive sort because they are kind to the animal, not because it gives better meat.

>>21406768
kindness gives better meat

>>21406768
pretty sure they are supposed to feed it hhelathy stuff or let it be free range instead of feeding it ground protein to inflate it like americans do

>>21406332
chicken needs to be cooked on a cold pan, unless you want salmonella

>>21406771
>pretty sure they are supposed to feed it hhelathy stuff or let it be free range instead of feeding it ground protein
Apparently in non-USA countries, protein is bad for animals. And presumably humans, since humans are technically mammals and animals, too.

>>21406773
what the fuck are you talking about retard.
if you're cooking a big fat breast, yes you will need to moderate the temperature so it doesn't burn on the surface before it's cooked through. that's why if you're gonna pan fry it, you either butterfly it, pound it, or in OP's case cut it into small chunks which will cook quickly and can be seared at a high heat.
you never, ever want a cold pan, that's fucking stupid.

>>21406775
there is a difference between naturally occuring protein you get from food and industrial artificial one hence why most gymfags develop cancers from all that whey powder enjoy your cancer chickens burgerbrain

>>21406778
>artificial protein

>>21406778
>there is a difference between naturally occuring protein you get from food and industrial artificial one
Isn't that a bit like saying there is a difference between halite and non-iodized salt?
>hence why most gymfags develop cancers from all that whey powder enjoy your cancer chickens burgerbrain
Do you have any proof this, like any evidence that correlation implies causation?
I could say that OJ Simpson murdered his wife, but everyone knows that if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit.

>>21406782
here you should watch this retarded leftoid he seems to be right up your alley
calling out jamie oliver for not wanting kids to eat ground dust like i said chew your plastic cheddar, munch down your sugar bread, eat your puffed up chicken and enjoy your colon cancer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-a9VDIbZCU

>>21406785
RETARD RETARD RETARD RETARD in cases of medicine and supplements(which is even worse since unlike medicine its not something you take to survive) you are not searching for proof of harm but proof of no harm thats why medicines come prepacked with a 2 feet sheet listing all contraindications FUCKING RETARDS IN HERE HOW DO YOU EVEN BREATHE HOW ARE YOU EVEN ALIVE YOU STUPID AMERICAN FUCKS JUST GO FUCKING DIE IN A TRENCH IN IRAN AND RID US ALL OF YOUR PRESENCE

>>21406787
>munch down your sugar bread
Here it is. THIS is the real key to the puzzle.
This guy probably sells a bunch of self-rising flour and has a financial incentive to snuff out yeast and sugar based breads.
Sorry. I was just trying to make sense of your posts and that was the best I could come up with.

>>21406777
chicken need to be thick and cooked on low heat to not only be fully cooked but also still juicy.
if you make it thin enough to blast it with high heat all the juiciness is lost.

by cold i didn't mean literally, just not on high heat

>>21406799
If you have lost too much moisture due to cooking your chicken, you can soak your chicken in a bowl of cold water and then gently warm it up again in a pot of warm water. Two juicy chickens are worth one dry chicken in the hand.

>>21406799
yeah but look at OP's pic. he's already chopped it up into little pieces. it's gonna cook better on high heat.

imo the best way to cook chicken isn't in a pan at all, it's in the oven. cook it whole, cut it down to the size you want after. you can sear it in a hot pan to get some color and frond if you want, but it'll cook more evenly in the oven.

you crowd your pot
you don't dry your chicken
your pan can't retain heat

>>21406788
vax status?

>>21406813
>vax status?
Oooh, that reminds me! It's time for me to get another booster! I don't even mind that I have to pay for the boosters now, because I'm just doing my part to stamp out COVID. After all, your vaccine doesn't work unless I am vaccinated, and that's why I pay a little over 4,000 Euro a month, out of pocket, to keep my vaccine up to date with boosters.

>>21406787
That's not the point of the video at all
The point is that Jamie Oliver is fucking retarded so for his "proofs" he keeps making real, 100% chicken nuggets, and his only point as to why it should be gross is that "Ewwww, all of the CARTILAGE, and SKIN and MARROW and ORGANS of the chicken went in there!!" because he is a subhuman anglo chef that thinks the only edible part of an animal is steak.

Never is his point "you're putting sawdust in the nuggets", he's genuinely fucktarded and out of touch with reality to the point that he thinks eating all of the chicken is bad.

>>21406844
um no the retarded leftoid poster is a retard who just like you doesnt understand that
1) humans are not suited to eat ground bones like other animals bone marrow isnt gorund bone
2) ultra processed frozen chicken nuggets are nothing like homemade chicken nuggets. why do you think the EU unlike retard ameritards has obliged producers of such garbage to include the contraindication "product of massaging" because massaging and making the meats go wooooo inside a revolving bucket isnt the only thing that happens inthere

i guess defending a capitalist system thriving on making working class people eat garbage is now a leftoid position because they are saving the environment by eating the whole animal.....never mind the profit margins of such companies that lead them to produce more and more and more industrialized chicken coops since food waste isnt that much of a financial problem anymore. Overconsumption????? nNOOOO not eating the whole animal each time you eat chicken is the enviroments problem #freepalestine

>>21406883
>why do you think the EU unlike retard ameritards has obliged producers of such garbage to include the contraindication "product of massaging"
what the fuck are you talking about

>>21406254 (OP)
Don't use a 12" deep pot. Half of the steam condenses before it can rise high enough to escape.

You'd know this if it weren't your first time cooking.

So, is this the thread where we laugh at the abysmally low USDA meat standards?

>>21406883
>humans are not suited to eat ground bones like other animals bone marrow isnt gorund bone
Even if ground bone was harmful to your digestive system (and it's not), bones are not thrown wholesale in the grinder for nuggets. What's ground is mostly cartilage anyway.

>ultra processed frozen chicken nuggets are nothing like homemade chicken nuggets.
And that's a perfectly good point to make, if it was the point Jamie Oliver tried to make.
But he doesn't.
He keeps going "ewwww, skin and organs icky noooo ><" because he's fucking retarded.
The way he goes about it is simply indefensible, because never is his point "There's 50 types of preservatives in these cheap nuggets", it's always "Ewww, look! I'm putting in all this stuff that doesn't look as pretty as steak in the blender! Aren't you grossed out??" and when people above 100IQ (a bar he doesn't clear) say "No...?" he gets mad.

>nNOOOO not eating the whole animal each time you eat chicken is the enviroments problem #freepalestine
How the fuck are you making this a political thing
Ameritards are grossed out by organs and have always been, it's the literal only culinary culture on the planet, IN HISTORY that thinks eating the whole animal is gross
It's not a "left or right" position, it's Ameritards against every human to have ever lived, anywhere and anywhen

>>21406728
Bruh, no.

You do that in a frying pan, at most a sauce pan or sautee pan.

A fucking stock pot is the wrong tool.

>>21406585
That must be the only answer, they're literally buying garbage

>>21406728
Retard advice

>>21406254 (OP)
That's something you're doing. Pretty much the only thing I have this issue with is mushrooms and I got around it by putting them in a separate pot unless I'm putting them in a soup or stew where it doesn't matter.

>>21406728
you can deglaze in literally any pan and then pour the deglazed fond into another pan

>>21406254 (OP)
You obviously need a pan with shallower sides

>>21406254 (OP)
chicken is an abomination since Obama allowed saline injection and for international transport to cheap processing facilities meaning that chicken was killed six months ago and has been frozen four times.

>>21407397
>Obama allowed saline injection
lmao

>>21406254 (OP)
Salt it and let it dry out a bit first. Slice the chicken randomly so that you can flatten it out. Cook it low and slow. Use fat in the pan and press the chicken against it.

>>21406254 (OP)
fry it or oven roast it

>>21406264
>he doesn't honk his batter
lmao fucking clown

Hey I think I can help.

You don't know how to pan cook chicken.

Learn how to.
