Cooking for Parties - keeping chicken juicy


Expert: Teri Davis Newman - 6/22/2008

Question
Planning a wedding reception and one of the menu items is chicken breast  do you hae any suggestions on how to keep this juicy.  Not use to cooking 150 serving of chicken .

Answer
Chicken breast is intrinsically dry to begin with so you might want to brine it before cooking to make it tastier and juicier.  I'd also recommend holding it in liquid such as chicken broth to keep it from drying while it's on the steam table.  Brining it will definitely give it a lot more flavor and help it immensely.  You didn't mention how you are planning to serve it so I can't really give you any specifics since I don't know the dish you are using it for.
