Chicken breasts will be 'juiciest ever' with chef's 'secret' ingredient

Chicken breasts are a versatile and healthy protein option, often favoured for their lean meat and adaptability to various cuisines.

However, making chicken breasts extra juicy involves specific techniques to lock in moisture while ensuring tenderness. If not done properly, it can leave many disappointed. An expert has shared an easy trick to make the dish extra juicy, and the steps are simple to follow.

A TikTok chef known as @ketorecipes has revealed his secret to the "juiciest chicken breasts ever" so moist they are practically "dripping with juice". The video has captured the attention of food enthusiasts, showcasing mouth-watering results with straightforward steps.

To start, the chef suggests seasoning and marinating the chicken breast using a mix of spices, yoghurt, lemon juice, and the "secret" ingredient. The crucial tip here is adding a pinch of baking soda to tenderise the meat fibres, reports the Express.

The food expert then recommends allowing the chicken to reach room temperature before searing it over medium heat with a lid on for three and a half minutes. After flipping the chicken, let it cook for just over seven minutes.

Once done, he advises letting the chicken breast cool down for five more minutes before serving. According to @ketorecipes, this technique ensures "perfect" chicken every time.

The video has received over 5,000 views, with numerous viewers eager to enhance their chicken-cooking abilities. One fan recommended utilising an air fryer and foil for added juiciness, while another exclaimed: "Stop. What. Trying! " A third viewer complimented: "Your recipes are amazing - thank you."
