Never Overcook Chicken Breasts Again With One Simple Swap

There’s a simple solution to fix dry and flavorless chicken breasts: Opt for bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts to significantly improve the flavor of your dishes.
Bone-in, skin-on chicken breast retains more moisture during cooking, with the bone acting as an insulator to prevent dryness and promote even cooking.
The skin provides protection, flavor, and a crispy texture. To prevent overcooking, use a meat thermometer to ensure it’s at 165 degrees Fahrenheit, avoiding contact with the bone.
Maintain the juiciness of chicken breast during cooking with methods like brining the chicken in a saltwater solution, using wet marinades with acidity, and pan-searing in hot oil.
