Do you prefer cooking chicken with skin or skinless, and how do you cook it?

Question

sage2021 · Accepted Answer

I only buy things without the bone but with the skin on to keep it moist.

I put tin foil on a cookie sheet and place all 6-8 thighs on the cookie sheet and season with Lawrey's garlic salt because it has the little green things in it. Pepper of course.

Bake at 350°F for one hour.

In a sauce, without. But if not then with skin

FreyaRed · Answer

Depends. Legs need usually skin, otherwise meat tends to become dry. By breast it's matter of meat quality. In home grown chicken with yellow fat tissue, roasted skin tastes good and fat under skin makes meat softer. Industrial grown chicken skin taste like fatty paper and it's makes no sense to keep it for consume in many dishes with sauce or where meat needs to be marinated.
Generally home grown chicken skin remains, industrial grown chicken skin goes away.

Unrelated but I discovered bullion today and I don't know what it is but I added it to water, thickened it with flour, atted a shit load of white pepper, garlic thyme and parsley and cooked pasta in it.

Oh yea and there was skinless chicken in it too 😂

Best lunch I've had in months.

@kelly6 Once again, I typed a long answer, and the system dumped me off along with my answer! That is ridiculous! I now buy BAKED breasts at Albertson's Deli, and also shredded breasts that I season with olive oil and garlic salt. reheat in the microwave. Prior to that I bought boneless-skinless breasts and microwvaved them

In the winter we do a lot of brick pan chicken on the woodstove and usually leave the skin on.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Either way is fine, as long as there's no breading on it while the skin is still on otherwise, what's the point? You're SUPPOSED to bread THE MEAT, NOT the skin and bones, which get thrown away!!

Tarifa · Answer

Skin. It gives a good contrast between the soft flesh and the crisp skin. A friend of ours has a genuine tandoori oven. It just can't get any better.

loveslongnails · Answer

Most of my recipes are skin on because they involve dark meat. Never been a fan of chicken breast, but will occasionally use them in a dish that keeps them moist, with a lot of sauce.
