Chicken is by FAR the most popular protein in the US. Learning how to cook a few very basic dishes perfectly is the difference between the culinary student and the home cook looking up something to make on their cell phone, 20 minutes before dinner time.

There are quite a few basic techniques that you will have to master to be successful with chicken and a bit of understanding the cooking properties of the different cuts and market forms…. but once you get the basics down, you’ll be able to make just about any chicken dish you can imagine!
