[@RP-fe3yf]

Thanks so much..v helpful during lockdown

[@siddhantsinghgautam5481]

the way he speaks about chicken makes my mouth watery everytime.

[@kishorraika6411]

Same here, idk why though

[@ishapandit6655]

Thank you! Another hack I found useful is adding warm/ hot water instead of room temperature water when making a curry. This makes sure that the temperature of the chicken doesn't change midway and gives tender pieces.

[@parighapatil]

I m super impressed by myself to know that I have been following these methods accidentally for last few years. I store chicken breasts for 2 days in the refrigerator, thaw, marinate .....it is easy to use when required. 1 tip for my friends for juicy chicken: Add 1 tspn oil to the chicken along with any spices during marinating. The chicken turns out soft

[@ramaswamyvenkatesh7639]

You , sir is brilliant ! Never before Indian or foreign chefs ever explained these finite points . Excellent presentation . Congrats ! GOD BLESS ! Even chicken should be happy about your tips because they are more enjoyed by people . Their destiny is full filled . ☺

[@jayashreekarkera3819]

He is a chemistry teacher

[@Mrfreezmoments]

This video should be viraled. Need to be watched by mom. She thinks chicken must be cooked for long time. She always feed us chewy threads of chicken! Subscribed!!

[@simba5876]

Lol Same here.

[@krushna2306]

Hahaha indeed

[@Statsjk]

"Chewy threads of chicken"....the way u named it lolol... 😂😂😂

[@ajwadshariz6187]

Always wondered why the chicken breast in a curry was rubbery. Thank you for the details. Happened to come across your video, and “yes” I did subscribe.

[@ashishkushwaha1167]

So whats yo do now can you tell me your procedures too

[@sudeshnapodder5876]

Here in USA except Indian stores, you hardly get chicken mixed or curry cut. All parts are separated and sold in American stores. I always marinate chicken overnight and then cook it, it tastes awesome and also cooks faster. Nice video.

[@ashvinimanoharan]

Every time I make a curry I ended up over cooking the boneless chicken pieces. And I wondered how to retain its moisture , it's tenderness.... But then today I was so determined to make it right and I searched for some good video which could able to help me. And yours was the first video I watched and am not going to watch any other video for this. Am sticking to yours. You explained it in the bestest way possible... Thank you so much❤️

[@skillfoo]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid info hai yaara. You explained the science and logic behind cooking in a simple way and it will be invaluable for new-to-cooking cooks like me. Request more videos about the science/ chemistry involved in cooking.

[@blueshadowcat87]

Very useful tips and the best part is logic behind every point.. I use ur tips and the chicken I cook always comes out perfect.. Thanks a lot.. 😊

[@seanamoody-mills8685]

Actually, now that I think about it, I do have tender chicken breast meat whenever I go camping. I never understood why, but thanks to you I now know it is because I slice the meat, put it in marinade and freeze it. Then I let it get up to room temp before grilling or putting it in a curry. Thanks so much for explaining it so clearly...

[@chandanritvik1]

Congrats for the 300 subscribers!! Yayy! (Looks down & sees 150K subscribers)

[@jaisekharnair6040]

Bang on about different pieces of the chicken having different cooking times

[@cheffie4634]

M myself a chef 22 and really liked the way u explained everything n made it look quite simple! Keep up the good work!!👍

[@WhitneyBellow]

You offer so many great tips! Thank you for giving me great ideas on how to cook. Since I first stumbled upon your video on how to roast peanuts and make peanut butter, I have been hooked. I did not realize the extra care I should take when cooking chicken. I often use a bit of acid to tenderize my meat, so I put a little vinegar in the pot after I have seared whatever meat I am cooking.

[@SiddharthaGhoshSid]

Thanks bro! You have no idea how helpful this is for amateur folks like me who are just starting out on cooking regularly. Thank you so much!

[@KarlSpees]

Thx for the valuable Tips. I have some comments: I wished to watch this more than once to help remember the messages. It was difficult to find this video again. Here is my short cut: Google "Cook it out Tender Chicken" Here are my notes: #1. Allow the chicken to warm to room temp before cooking. #2. Different Parts require different dispositions A. Breast cook quickly B. Carcass is used for Stock or Soup. C. Legs & Wings cook low and slow. They must reach an internal temp of 75 C =167 F. #3. Marinate in an acidic medium Vinegar etc. Marinate with spices Ginger & Garlic mentioned. Marinate 6 - 12 H #4. after cooking allow the meat to REST 10 -15 minutes. Thx Again, I can't wait to try these helpful tips. K of PA ***

[@npip99]

Best video ever. Recipes are great and all but knowing a recipe doesn't mean you've learned anything - you've just memorized the results of what someone else learned from experience. This teaches knowledge. Instant sub. Explanations are amazing, doing things without knowing why locks a learning chef from making their own food.

[@yousufmusthaneer9738]

Nice knowledge of thermodynamics!! With cooking skills

[@hardyroks]

Wow... makes so much sense. I’ve been cooking since around 3 years. Always end up with hard and fibrous breast pieces. I am gonna try these tips tomorrow. Cheers sir!

[@srpboss77]

[@DrBrunoRecipes]

From 300 to 133K wow :) Many congratulations!

[@asmitatamboli9935]

Thank you for these very very important tips.... I cooked chicken using your tips and first time I'm so happy that having delicious dish .... Loved it ❤️

[@RajeevSinghScorpian]

Have been cooking since a while and I cook good as well. But never ever I thought of getting into such details. Amazing information and makes sense why sometimes I used to get hard chicken or breasts overcooked etc. I really like the information Thanks for sharing.

[@toortoor783]

Best tenderizer is green papaya paste (1tea spoon for 1 kg of meat) bit don't keep the chicken marinated more than 1.5 hrs. Keep it in the fridge for 1 hr and let it come to room temperature for 30 mnts and then you can cook it. This is how most of the restaurants do.

[@SinghalLouis]

I knew the refrigeration part but did not know why.. now I know.. thanks dude, and it was a fantastic video, very very useful, specially about the various parts and their cooking styles, awesome, thanks again

[@mohanbaskaran2135]

Should we freeze chicken in freezer compartment? How long to keep it

[@nosheenkhan2457]

Absolutely right! I always do it the same way, after removing the stock from the carcass I remove the chicken meat from it and use it for sandwiches or fried rice....

[@KarlSpees]

Thank you! I will need to watch this more than once to collect all the points with the logic / theory behind the different steps. K of PA : - )

[@murtuzaalee4nim8]

Hi Cook it Out, Your channel is what cooking channels should be like. I have consumed loads of videos on KZbin but I rarely comment. More power to you man!

[@Coralcrue]

I just discovered your videos today, you are awesome. Thank you for such amazing recipes. looking forward to more.

[@nehaneha4587]

Too good very helpful tips..want to make more juicy chicken so add 4/5 spoon mustard oil and refrigerate atleast 4 hours..make sure curd and lemon juice proportion is good enough to enhance ur taste,with garam masala n other spices add little amchur powder,that gives additional flavour 😊

[@kuldeepk.bdo-omerga1056]

Was searching for this query since long back...also done lot of futile experiments.....u explained it scientifically... Sincere Thank u....Subscribed bro

[@civic443]

Sab chefs k baap ho. I did know a little about what you gave but you completed it with respective solution. Huge thanks

[@tanmay_6363]

Kya bakwaas kar rha h bevde

[@violetsnowfield]

so far the best tips to keep my chicken juicy. Your explanation is simple and easy to understand, compared to most tips I found on the internet that requires me to cook chicken with milk (not that I dislike it, but I prefer to have milk with cereal, not chicken breasts) I fried breaded chicken breasts few days ago and it was too dry because the chicken was too cold, and I was on a hurry. The next time I cook chicken, I'll make sure to remember these tipz 👍🏻

[@lphdyt]

This Video is exactly what I was searching for ❤❤❤❤

[@rapperliftsbars]

I asked google to share an apt video with me. This Was the third recommendation. I just clicked on it. Thanks For the prized info. Had no idea. M glad im here. I was wondering why my fresh chicken was so bad.

[@samiranuzhath9364]

I have been following your 2nd tip for quite some time now, I find it extremely useful. Thank you

[@Abhishek23109]

I saw your video for the first time. I have to appreciate that you shared all the experinces that I had in my way of cooking chicken and is being in a way , the experience of cooking chicken by me , validated by you in every word. Appreciate you for being so honest and sharing the knowledge you have. There is one thing that I can share with you and you can try it for experience and that is if you marinate the whole chicken in any acidic marinate and leave it in fridge for around 8 hrs, you can treat and cook the whole chicken as you cook the breast peice and then rest it for 15 min. Feel free to correct me. Appreciate your view and informative video. Thanks

[@dimplechugh]

Your way of teaching is great, every single word one can understand

[@vanshgandhi6837]

If I'm not wrong, are you also a chemistry teacher?

I live alone and suck at cooking, your tips really help my cooking skill growth, thanks

[@5049maggie]

always had the problem as you described , after taking lot of effort yet my cooking had no comments but thanks to you for such wonderful tips, god bless you

[@thatguyinthathat.s6969]

Wow.. I feel good cause I have been doing most of what you said just through experience. Always use Chicken thighs for curry. Cook on ok heat. Most important trick I use ;) if you have guest for dinner cook the chicken in the morning. And let it rest... all day. All the spices will get in.. and then warm and serve. Winning.

[@billconserva1461]

The best explanation on why and how to understand cooking chicken!

[@richasharma2982]

Wow this video is a treasure trove of information..thank you.. can you also make a video on the time it will take approximately for the perfect cook.

[@anoopnair9068]

Very nicely explained !! Showed it to my mom she is super impressed :) Please make a video on how to grill a chicken without oven. Also some healthy grilled chicken recipe

[@asingh6326]

I have seen several Chicken recipe videos, none of the Chefs ever mentioned these important points, Thanks for those great tips

[@josephnissy123]

Woww...,thanks a lot for all this information...I’ve always wanted somebody to explain to me the whys of everything in cooking..you do just that...rather than just give instructions on how to cook a particular thing... glad I found your channel...do come up with more videos...you’re awesome!!!

[@vroomzoom007]

I still have a problem chef. Technically even if Ive done all of this and bhunoed the chicken to brown, at least 25 minutes, using only leg and thighs, as soon as I add the last bit of water to make the curry, the water makes the fibres and tendons all shrink and meat becomes harder (cooked pink) than I would like it to. I just don't get, when I should add the water. Whats the chemistry here.

[@vroomzoom007]

I think it's because I cook too much

[@CookitOut]

Yyyep

[@TheNadamir]

I'd been using these tips for year and they work perfectly well. Another additional step could be brining. Makes the meat incredibly juicy and soft. Using a mallet to pound the meat before its cooked also works wonders. I buy chicken breast meat (it's got the least amount of fat), freeze it, then brine for 12 hours and marinate for 24, depending on size of the pieces cook it for about 8-10 minutes (high flame grilling recipes), keep it covered in a container to allow it soak it's juices and serve. It's perfect everytime

[@eshwarramesh3523]

Oh my god... I just looked up how to cook chicken thighs coz my wife hates em rubbery.. you sir are brilliant.. hitting subscribe button..

[@arbaazpsy8186]

You should upload more videos It’s a good channel And you have some great tips

[@riyathehappyrose3219]

The way you explained the tips is really woww!! But the thing is we buy chicken only when we wish to cook nd cook it immediately... We don't prefer storing chicken a day before or refrigerate it for half a day... We just bring nd cook.. But wt you explained was awesome ....I'll try them someday... ❤️

[@indersharma5466]

Hi. Great video, in-depth explaination. Thank you. I want one help of your. I have never been able to have juicy and TENDER mutton. Please suggest what part of mutton should we buy and how to process and cook. Thank you in anticipation. God bless.

[@sumitdhingra8]

Thanks for these useful tips bro. You have explained these very professionally. Really appreciated.

[@fairyquin3]

Awesome explanation..... I have experienced few of these things while cooking... However you have put it in a beautiful way which made me understand it perfectly.

[@bmb8025]

So, fresh-cut chicken should first be refrigerated for 5-6 hours, then rested and marinated and then refrigerated again for 6-7 hours, before cooking....is this correct? Or can I just marinate fresh-cut chicken and refrigerate for several hours?

[@CookitOut]

You can marinate fresh chicken! The refrigeration process is enough once. No need to do that again and again

[@Kanoemirate]

Thanks for the reply, I've that same Question.

[@vijaykumar-rz2td]

Very helpful information. This can upgrade my cooking. Thank you so much. 🍗🍲

[@Senator107]

Guy sounds like he knows what he is talking about. A+

[@seanamoody-mills8685]

Terrific video, thanks so much for the tips! I always had great flavours in my curry but the breast meat was always tough. Trying your method tonight!

[@yakshao]

Did you try it?

[@ed4all33]

Excellent tips. Have always been using the carcass for stock which i either add in for curry instead of water, or keep aside for soup . When adding whole chicken while cooking a curry , i tend to add the breast pieces at the end . Thanks for all this info . Best of luck .

[@sanatanashish3008]

Is he that vedantu teacher who used to teach chemistry???

[@saimashafique2886]

Your way to explain is fabulous ....Allah bless you with more....

[@superhornyalways]

[@cooldentist7135]

One question - Should I wash / clean the fresh raw chicken before putting it in to the freezer ? Thanks for the information

[@asadlatif2313]

[@devimohan1768]

Thq sir this tip is helpful to my baby she likes to eat chicken daily . But i dnt know how to soft cooking watching this I learned it. How much time required to settle normal temperature after over night marination of chicken

[@CookitOut]

Not much time - just 10-20 mins is good :)

[@Asadalisyed4829]

Always struggling to make the perfect juicy chicken breast . Will definitely try this way

[@kushahuja7884]

[@chefkhabirmoraes7366]

Fantastic,I'm impressed, there could not be any better explanation then this.✅👍🙏

[@brijeshmandavi6795]

I faced these issues while cooking chicken... Thanks for the solution.... My suggestion is brining the chicken breast so that it can retain more moisture while cooking

[@swapnalipaunikar4726]

U explained it very well saw many vedios about this , this vedio is the best for Indian foodies. Kindly give info about using papaya n pineapple as tenderizing agent and how to deal with tenderizing agents if using chicken for gravy

[@popularparadisevlog2790]

[@ITACHI_UCHIHA11161]

Very informative and useful video, thanks for your efforts and educating us. One question all the 3 steps are needed together or either one of the step is enough. 1 to cool the chicken for 5 hrs then do we need to brine them for another couple of hours and then marinade them for some time?

[@sushreesangeetasatpathy5119]

Just wow. I heard this video so many times just to listen the way u r explaining. So cooool, detailed video. Actually yes I end up with overcooked chewy boneless pieces.☹️ But next time I LL follow these tips now.😄
