Thxs everyone for your input it is very appreciated!!And what i meant was no seasonings or accoutrements or anything at all except water.
Wanted to basically just buy some frozens birds defrost them and cook them all alone except in water maybe in all different ways possible and looking for information on how and how long in the different methods to do this.
So far i hear
baked - is 20 minutes per lb @ 350 and with replies in this post be good idea to buy the meat thermometor instead and also a stove thermometor to make sure ovens working at right temp as nob.
slow cooker - fill with water until half of chicken is covered let cook for about 6 to 8 hours.
Havent heard on how long to boil?If you boil do you need to defrost or just simply add to water?Also same with slow cooker is it really necesarry to defrost before putting into slow cooker?
I assume to peel the skin and toss it away since its unhealty anyways.
Welcome to DC. Color me confused. Can you help us out & tell us what you are preparing or why there must be no seasonings except water?
Re the slow cooker - I have added only a little liquid. NEVER filled the pot with liquid. Absolutely defrost before adding to a slow cooker. Temp changes may crack your crock. Follow the directions for your make/model.
Re the skin - I'm not a big fan, unless it's roasted with seasonings, & I'll take a taste. The skin does contain fat. I usually buy skinless.
As for cooking time, depends on the size of the chicken & your prep/cooking method.
Guessing you want to eat healthy? You can broil chicken breasts with some lemon pepper & some lemon or lime juice. Adding fresh herbs to chicken prep will still keep it light, & low fat/low sodium chicken broth will give the chix some moisture - other than water. If you are boiling try adding a bouquet garni. Hope that helps.
