As Chef Patron of London Stock, in Mayfair, a restaurant that has been awarded three AA Rosettes, he knows how to serve up “super juicy” chicken.<\/p>\n

While cooking chicken on the bones, such as thighs, is easier to not overcook than chicken breast, there is still a way to serve tasty chicken no matter what.<\/p>\n

If you have chicken breast, Chef Sebastian strongly recommends the cooking technique of “sous vide”.<\/p>\n

Chef Sebastian explained that sous vide means putting the chicken in a vacuum bag and cooking it in boiling water.<\/p>\n

The next step is to season the chicken by adding thyme and butter inside of the vacuum bag.<\/p>\n

Then seal the bad, and put it in a water bath at 72 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes.<\/p>\n

Chef Sebastian added: “Then you take the chicken out of the bag and get the skin as dry as possible before pan-frying it on the skin side for about two minutes \u2013 then the meat is super juicy.”<\/p>\n

If you are cooking chicken in the oven, then Chef Sebastian said you should use a thermometer to check the temperature of the chicken.<\/p>\n

“Chicken should get to 72 degrees in the thickest part of the meat \u2013 if this is at this temperature, it is always juicy and tasty,” said Chef Sebastian.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can cook chicken in the oven at 80C to 100C and check when it’s done by slightly cutting it open to see if the juice runs clear.<\/p>\n

“If it is undercooked the juice will have a bit of blood still so you have to cook it for longer,” said Chef Sebastian.<\/p>\n

A good marinade for chicken, which helps add flavour, is yoghurt and different spices.<\/p>\n
