How Long to Boil Chicken Tenderloins
You can boil a chicken for about one hour.
Cover the chicken with cold water, bring it to a boil and then lower the heat to a bare simmer. When there is no more pink in the meat near the bone, it's done. For a whole chicken that could take up to an hour.
I usually cook bonless chicken breasts in a pre-heated oven @ 350 for 30-35mins 350 for 1 hour is comon temperature. or 375 for 45 minutes. 45 mins to an hour for bone-in chicken (thighs,legs,breast) at 350 degrees ..either way,pierce it with a fork,if the juice comes out clear and NOT pink, it is cooked. I always bake my thawed chicken breasts at 375 degrees for 50 min. and they come out juicy and fully cooked. The juices need to run clear. Test the largest one for doneness, by cutting it right through the middle to make sure there is no pink.
You can freeze cooked chicken for up to 3 months for best quality.
you shouldn't boil frozen chicken. thaw at room temperature or defrost in a microwave before cooking ****Nonsense.**** Of course you can boil chicken from frozen without defrosting it first. Just make sure it is cooked all the way through. ****Double nonsense**** If you defrost first, you should defrost in the fridge or under running cold water. Don't defrost at room temperature. ***No nonsense*** Thawed chicken breasts take roughly 15-20 minutes to get to 165 F internal temp. If frozen add about another 10 minutes or so. If you have a meat thermometer, just check that they are 165+. It's also best to do it with a slow boil instead of a raging boil (for texture/flavor)
