my secret for juicy, cheap chicken is to buy bone-in skin-on chicken legs or breasts and then roast them at 375 for ~45min with a cup of broth in the bottom of the pan 

also brush them with butter before rubbing your seasoning on (i use a poultry mix, garlic powder, s&p)

bone-in + skin-on helps retain moisture as it acts as a heat insulator + it's cheaper since the butcher does less work :)

affordable perfection 🤌

my secret is to spatchcock, salt generously all around, refrigerate for two days to dry brine, roast, et voila, so juicy you'll smack yo mama

if whole chickens are on sale i always snag one!! you'll get used to breaking it down super fast i'm sure :)

or you can always just spatchcock the entire thing with some garlic slices stuffed under the skin for flavour. dry off the skin + coat with kosher salt before popping it in the oven for extra crisp

i'll eat it throughout the week and use it in wraps, quesadillas, etc

i will have to try it! next time whole chickens are on sale 🫡

I once dry brined/aged my chicken for three days, to this day it is the best chicken I ever roasted. It developed a very mild bleu cheese aroma and breasts were the most succulent. It was incredible. Also if you want brined chicken but you don't have the time, kosher chicken is always sold pre brined.

great minds think alike haha https://farcaster.xyz/erica/0x7b749eb6

the dry brine for a few days is how i always do a turkey - i skip it for chickens though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
