The best way to remove the skin from boneless chicken thighs before cooking is to use a sharp knife to carefully separate the skin from the meat, then peel it off in one piece. This will help the chicken cook more evenly and reduce excess fat in the dish.
To ensure that your chicken breasts come out moist you want to wrap the chicken in foil in the first part of the cooking process. This locks in all the moisture and flavour. Then once it's mostly cooked remove foil to brown the chicken meat.
To properly brine frozen chicken before cooking, first thaw the chicken completely in the refrigerator. Then, prepare a brine solution by dissolving salt and sugar in water. Submerge the chicken in the brine for at least 4 hours, but no more than 24 hours. Rinse the chicken thoroughly before cooking to remove excess salt.
To properly parboil chicken wings before cooking them, bring a pot of water to a boil, add the wings, and simmer for about 10 minutes. This helps to partially cook the wings and remove excess fat before grilling or frying them to finish cooking.

The best way to clean and remove odors from a chicken is to use baking soda. Simply sprinkle baking soda on the chicken, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse it off with water before cooking. Baking soda helps to neutralize odors and can also help to clean the chicken.
The chicken breast is a low-fat meat and is naturally on the dry side anyway. Fat must be added somehow to make skinned chicken breast moist.One reason for dryness is because the skin that protects the meat has been removed. The skin does hold in juices, and contains much of the fat in the bird, so if you want the skin removed, you can keep the chicken moist by cooking it with the skin on and removing the skin 10 to 15 minutes before the chicken is done.It is also possible it was baked at too high of a temperature in the oven without any fluids surrounding the meat. Covering the chicken with tin foil helps in keeping it moist while in the oven. Just remove the foil about 15 to 20 minutes before it is done, to brown the meat some. You can add enough water in the pan before cooking to just cover the bottom of the pan; this helps also.It could also be that the chicken may have been baked at too low a temperature for too long a time. When using dry heat to cook chicken (baking, roasting, frying), the trick is to use a higher temperature of heat for a shorter time. Moist heat cooking (steaming, poaching, microwaving) needs a lower temperature and a longer cooking time for the best results. (This is also why microwaved chicken seems rubbery; reduce the microwave power and let it cook longer for best results.) Just be certain to cook it completely, 165 degrees (F) internal temp on average.Bones contain a lot of moisture and fat, so removing them from the bird before cooking will also remove a lot of moisture. A solution to this is just to remove the bones manually after cooking the chicken. A boning or paring knife for small bones, and a chef's knife for large bones will work fine for this.
