What is the best way to cook a chicken leg?

I would never fry the legs whole, they're harder to handle, they take up too much room in the pan, and the drumsticks have less meat and cook quicker than the thighs -- I would cut them into thighs and drumsticks before cooking (its easy, flip the leg skin side down on the cutting board, look for a line of fat running across the width of the leg, approximately in the middle, then place your knife slightly below that line of fat, in the direction of the drumstick, then you should be able to cut down through the chicken pretty easily and quickly.) I also like to bone the thigh meat, but that's me.

Since dark meat takes longer to cook than white, I like to dip the dark meat pieces in flour, then buttermilk, then flour and buttermilk again. I find that the buttermilk crust doesn't brown as quickly as crust made with egg, therefore you can cook it longer, which is perfect for the dark meat pieces. Plus I love the extra crunch and taste of the buttermilk dipped chicken.

Why is salt added to prepared foods?

Manufacturers generally add it as a means of improving the flavor of packaged goods. Since a diet-conscious public has turned up their noses at other ways of improving taste (i.e. added fat or sugar), manufacturers have turned to salt, since calorie-conscious consumers tend to breeze by sodium content. Salt's dirt cheap as well, and can be added to practically anything. Sadly though, this means many Americans consume several times the recommended daily allowance of salt, which raises blood pressure and can lead to hypertension and the elevated risk of hypertension, heart attack and stroke.

Can you boil frozen chicken breast and how long should I cook them for?

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)
