What is rotisserie chicken?
Asked by Wiki User
- Rotisserie chicken is normal chicken, but it's cooked in a rotating machine so when you eat it, the juicy texture and flavour is packed in so you can enjoy it!
- The chicken (or other meat or fish) is skewered on a long rod used to hold the food whilst it is cooked in an oven (or rotisserie machine). Alternatively, it is skewered and cooked over a fire in a fireplace or over a campfire or barbecue. The rod is turned throughout cooking to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly in its own juices.

Is chicken meat or fowl?

Chickens are fowl. However, many people use the word "meat" to refer to any edible flesh.
What chicken or the egg?
Asked by Wiki User
It depends on how you look at it. I personally think that the egg came first, and then the chicken hatched from the egg. You can also see it this way-the chicken came first and then laid the egg.
So there really isn't a right answer.
How do you braise chicken?
Asked by Wiki User
The key ingredients when braising any meat are low heat, moisture, and time.
The oven or a crock pot/slow cooker usually serve as the best cooking instruments when braising because you can easily maintain a (relatively) low temperature with a fair degree of accuracy and consistency. If using the oven, a heavy dutch oven, glass or ceramic baking dish, or even an oven bag will do to hold the meat and liquid (and vegetables) while braising.
Common braising liquids are water, wine, and beef/chicken stock. These can be used separately or in combination, and contrary to common belief, the meat does not need to be completely covered by the liquid. Your dish should be covered during braising to minimize moisture loss.
Lastly, give it time. Depending on the choice of meat, you should plan on 4-8 hours cooking time at temperatures between 250-300 degrees. The best measure of doneness is whether or not you need a knife to cut it. If it's done, you won't. You should check the meat occasionally--if you can--during the braising process. Once every 30-90 minutes is enough to rotate the meat in the liquid and check for tenderness.
Larger cuts of meat such as beef and pork roasts should be seared in oil or butter before braising, while this step is often skipped for poultry. When selecting cuts of meat to braise, you want to select cheap, fatty cuts. Blade and chuck roasts work well for beef, and thighs and drumsticks are great for chicken. The time, heat, and moisture break down all the fat and connective tissue, leaving only the tender, flavorful meat behind.
An easy example of braising: throw some chicken legs and thighs into an oven bag along with barbecue sauce, a few cloves of garlic, half an onion (chopped), a dash of brown sugar, salt and pepper, a splash of liquid smoke, and a little water to loosen. Toss it in the oven at 250 before you go to work. When you come home, open the bag and remove the bones and skins (all the meat should literally fall off), drain and save the excess liquid, and shred the chicken. Wrap some meat in a large, flour tortilla along with shredded cheese, diced green onion, and some of the extra liquid for an great tasting barbecue pulled chicken wrap.

How do you grill chicken in the oven?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, you can. When your chicken pieces are large and more meaty, they may cook on the grill on the outside and still be a little pink on the inside. You can cook them for 20 minutes in a 350 degree F oven and then transfer them to the grill to finish cooking. You can also reverse this, cook the chicken on the grill and then place in the 350 degree F oven for 20 minutes.
If your chicken pieces are smaller and not as meaty, you probably won't need to do this, as they should cook completely on the grill.

Should you cover the pan to roast chicken?
Asked by Wiki User
No, you will end up steaming the bird and it will come out with the skin gooey.
I start my roast chicken upside down and turn it right side (breast side) up for the last 45 -50 minutes of cooking. This can be messy and annoying working in a hot oven and you don't have to do it, but I find it does a better job of even cooking.
How do I defrost a Frozen cooked chicken?
Asked by Wiki User
The best way to thaw it out is to thaw it in the refrigerator. You should not just leave it on the counter.
You could also defrost it in the microwave. Using a cold water bath could work only if the package is completely sealed.
A little water on the meat won't hurt anything. The meat won't absorb the water. It will just evaporate during the reheating. I've thawed whole chickens in cold water. Your raw chicken meat should be washed anyway.

Boneless Steak: Steaks that are 1/2" to 1" should be cooked for 8 - 14 minutes for medium rare and 12 - 18 minutes for medium. Turn them only once. Bone in Steak: Steaks that are 1/2" to 1" should be cooked for 7 - 14 minutes for medium rare, 11 - 18 minutes for medium. Turn them only once. Ground Beef: Hamburgers should be 1/2 - 3/4" thick. Cook for 10 - 16 minutes, turning once. Make sure they are thoroughly cooked. Sausage or Hot Dogs: If the meat is precooked, cook until heated through, 4 - 6 minutes. If the meat is not already cooked, precook them in a skillet until almost done. Finish cooking on grill 8 - 12 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. Turn them frequently. Chicken Breasts: Grill until thoroughly done and juices run clear, usually about 8 - 12 minutes. You should turn them one time. Pork Chops: Pork chops can be bone-in or boneless, and are generally 1/2 - 3/4" thick. Grill until only slightly pink in center, which should be approximately 12 - 16 minutes. Lamb Chops: Lamp chops can be bone-in or boneless, 1/2 - 1" thick. Grill for 12 - 16 minutes. Turn them once.
