Tips on Cooking Chicken Breasts

  • Rub Down – Massage the breasts down thoroughly in seasonings and a little oil to properly season the meat.
  • Cover Up – Keeping the breasts covered traps the moisture which turns into stock. This is great for basting and making gravy.
  • Baste the Breasts – Dry Chicken is due to lack of moisture. Keep basting those breasts!
