Chicken Breast Cooking Times and Calculator
Chicken breast is a quick and easy roast that can be eaten plain or with a sauce. Chicken breasts can be cooked with or without the skin, however cooking with the skin on will give you a juicier finish and the skin can easily be removed after cooking. Just make sure it is cooked all the way through before eating!
Chicken Roasting Tips
- Let the meat come up to room temperature before cooking
- Always ensure chicken is fully cooked before eating. You can check this by inserting a skewer in the thickest part of the meat and checking that the juices that come out are clear, not pink or red.
- Don't forget to rest the meat before carving. This allows the meat to relax and distributes the juices throughout. A general rule of thumb used by chefs for resting meat is 1 minute for every 100g of meat.
