Always brine your chicken before cooking it. Add 4 tablespoons of table salt to 4 cups of water and stir the water until the salt dissolves. Put the chicken in the water and put it in the fridge for a minimum of 90 minutes (you can do it overnight if you want). Take the chicken out rinse it off, then season it however. Dont add salt because the brine salted the chicken already.

It'll be the moistest peice of meat you've ever had in your mouth

I just started doing food prep and I love it. It's mad convenient and it helps you save a lot of money. I usually make about 15 meals every time I prep. I'll take pictures next time I do it.

I've done it before but I usually just made chicken and rice and it got boring

It should be enough water to submerge the chicken. If you need more water, just up the ratio.

Every time I make chicken I can't eat it the next day cause it's dry af. What tips do you have breh.

Try cooking the thigh peice instead of breast. Cook the meat in a sauce or cover in foil.

I've learned the hard way in the last month or so, why you should put foil over certain foods when cooking/baking in the oven. The food will come out too dry or too much of the liquid will evaporate.

He might have put them in the microwave.

I would put a little oil in the pan and fry them a little.

threw it in the microwave for like 15 seconds, ideally you would throw em on a hot skillet or such. Much better that way.
