A Chicken In Every Pot

Ellen Davidson
Fried chicken is one of America’s favorite foods. In today’s society, however, fried foods are considered bad for everyone. All diets and nutritional articles say to stay away from fried foods. Why not combine your favorite food, chicken, and your favorite appliance, the crockpot. In the moist environment and low cooking temperature of the crockpot, the chicken’s flavor and texture blossoms.

If you are going to cook chicken in the crockpot, make sure it is thawed. You should never put anything frozen in the crockpot, unless the recipe explicitly says to do so. Frozen foods wind up with a weird texture. They also slow down the heating process of the food inside. The cooker needs to get to a safe temperature fairly quickly and frozen foods slow this process down drastically. There is also a possibility of bacteria growing if the temperature doesn’t rise quickly enough.

For fresh chicken breasts, stack the chicken in the crockpot, add ½ cup of chicken broth or water and cook on low for five to six hours, rearranging once during the cooking time. Breast meat can become mushy and soft when cooked for longer than six hours on low. Chicken breasts should reach 170 degrees F. If you don’t have a meat thermometer, prick the chicken, if the juices are clear then the chicken is done.

Many crockpot recipes call for cooking eight to ten hours for chicken thighs and legs. Chicken thighs have a richer flavor than the breasts and can cook for a longer period of time. Boneless chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breasts in recipes because they do not become mushy after several hours in the crockpot. They are also much cheaper. Dark meat chicken should reach a temperature of 175 degrees F.

Whole chickens can also be cooked in a crockpot. Oval shaped cookers are a better fit for oblong meats like whole chickens. Whole chickens cook for the longest time period. Eight to ten hours is the normal cooking time for whole chickens. They should reach 180 degrees F to be completely done.

For recipes that use chicken pieces, the skin should be removed from the poultry. Excess fats should also be trimmed from the pieces. Fats melt with long cooking times and will add an unpleasant texture to the finished dish. Fatty foods cook too quickly. Should you decide to leave the skin on the chicken, brown them in a skillet with olive oil first. This improves the appearance of the dish.

To cook vegetables in the same pot with the chicken use the layering instructions. Since vegetables cook slower than the meat, they should be placed on the bottom of the crockpot. Tender vegetables, such as tomatoes or mushrooms should not be added until the last hour of cooking time.

Later Is Better With Crockpot
The crockpot is one of the best time saving appliances in the house. Beginning cooks love it because they can fill it, turn it on and go on with their lives. Hours later they can come home to a ready made dinner. Sometimes, however, it is just not that simple. Not all the meals cooked in a crockpot came out tasting great. more
 
 
Slow Cooked To Perfection
Busy professionals who want the frugality and quality of a home cooked meal are finding that a slow cooker can be a lifesaver. A slow cooker can be a simple and effective tool in the kitchen of any busy professional. As with most things, you get what you pay for with a slow cooker. The bigger slow cookers have more utility but can over kill if you live alone. more
 
 
Stir Up Some Flavor For Dinner Tonight
Many mothers come home from a long day at work, and then immediately have to start on making dinner, doing the dishes, a few loads of laundry, giving baths to the kids, putting them to bed, and only then getting a few short minutes to themselves and their spouses, before they have to go to bed and start the process all over again the next morning. more
