Hello all,
I am hoping you fellow webizens, chefs and cooks can help me out.
Chicken is my favorite meat, yet I always fail. I am not sure why. It's never too dry or anything but it normally has no flavor or a bad flavor.
I recently moved to central America so at first I figured it was the chicken here. But then I started buying the same stuff from USA at Walmart.
I was managing a hotel and the chef who barely studied and is only 24 makes lovely food. She made chicken with white wine sauce , garlic chicken , chicken with cilantro sauce, and chicken club sandwiches. All delicious with the same boneless, skinless chicken breast I use. I tried to copy her method but turned out bland and sauce aside had 0 flavor.
The only thing I noticed she did was wash chicken with lime for 30 minutes.
She pan sears it. When I do it, again, mine has no flavor. I have tried marinating. I tried spices like paprika, salt and pepper.
Does anyone have any advice? I have decent kitchen skills but this is killing me.
Thank you,
Louis
