How do I give flavor to uncooked chicken?

- Acidic marinades: Vinegar, citrus juices, yogurt, or buttermilk help tenderize the chicken.

- Oils: Olive oil, vegetable oil, or melted butter add flavor and help the marinade penetrate the chicken.

- Herbs and spices: Choose herbs like rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, or mint and spices like garlic, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, or curry powder.

- Salt: Enhance the flavors of the marinade with a pinch of salt.

Dry rubs:

- Spices: Use a combination of spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, cumin, coriander, thyme, oregano, and rosemary.

- Salt and pepper: Season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.

- Citrus zest: Add a bit of citrus zest (lemon, orange, or lime) for a refreshing touch.

Other techniques:

- Brining: Soak the chicken in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar for several hours or overnight.

- Stuffing: Fill the chicken cavity with aromatic herbs, vegetables, or fruits for added flavor.

- Glazing: Brush the chicken with a mixture of honey, soy sauce, or other flavorful ingredients during cooking.
