When cooking freezer burned chicken how to you make it moist and flavorful?

- Defrost the chicken slowly and thoroughly: This will help prevent it from losing its moisture and becoming tough. The best way to do this is to place it in the refrigerator the night before you want to cook it. If you are in a hurry, you can also thaw the chicken in a sink full of cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes. Do not thaw chicken in the microwave, as this can cause uneven cooking.

- Enhance flavor with marinating: Marinating can help to reintroduce moisture and flavor to freezer-burned chicken. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices, or a store-bought marinade. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

- Cook the chicken gently: Overcooking freezer-burned chicken can make it even drier and tougher. Instead, cook it gently on low heat. You can bake it in the oven, grill it, or sauté it in a pan. If you are baking or grilling the chicken, baste it with a liquid such as chicken broth or melted butter.

- Serve with a sauce or gravy: A sauce or gravy can help to add moisture and flavor to freezer-burned chicken. You can make a simple sauce by mixing some chicken broth, cornstarch, and herbs, or you can use a store-bought sauce.
