Ok to boil chicken? - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

shamuk · 11-05-2008, 02:49 PM

Im currently on a cut and really stuggleing getting chicken down me, ive been cooking it on the foreman grill and eating it dry with out sauces etc.

Just wondering will it be okay to boil?

Any help apperciated, cheer.

You can but it's nasty...

shamuk · 11-05-2008, 02:57 PM

how long would I need to boil it for?

What other way would be good to cook chicken so its got some moister left, so I dont need to drink a mouthfull of water with it to get it down me,

Cheers.

DIRECTIONS:

Place chicken in a large pot add water to cover. Cover pot and bring to a boil; reduce heat to a gentle boil and cook for about 90 minutes. Remove chicken, let cool and shred or chop the meat.

I prefer mine grilled...or broiled

I don;t know how long exactly, but i'd imagine you would be able to tell when the chicken was white throughout. Don;t think it would be too nice tbh though...

I would wrap in tinfoil and stick in the oven for about 40-50 mins....Always tastes good with a nice texture..

agree with jimmy, half an hour in the oven makes it nice and moist

I eat most of my chicken boiled, i think its lovely about half an hour for a few fillets is fine, drain the water and boil again for a further few minutes, makes the chicken really moist

cook it in the foreman but wrap it in tinfoil first. keeps it REALLY juicy, throw in some spices aswell and its even better. Also means theres very little to clean up afterwards Boiled chicken just seems wrong !

try microwaving it, I used to but got fed of it after a bit.

The reason your chicken is dry is because its over cooked. Chicken should be cooked through but not over cooked.

You just have to practice but if you get it right its as moist as any meat.

i eat boiled chicken often too, i put two fillets in a pot cover with kettle water, chuck in half a lemon turn the heat on low and leave for 20-30 mins

leeston · 13-05-2008, 02:51 PM
