Cooking tips and tricks from the D&D team

We’re always talking about the quality of our products and services, and as a restaurant meat supplier, we’d like to take the opportunity to talk about a few preparation tips and cooking tricks right from the D&D Poultry kitchen. 

• Secret to a crispy chicken – One of the secrets to making a great crispy chicken is salt. The next time you buy some chicken, sprinkle it with about a tablespoon of coarse salt and place it uncovered in the refrigerator overnight. The salt and air within the refrigerator will draw out the moisture and you’ll end up with a perfectly crispy bird for dinner. 
• How to properly marinade your poultry – One of the best ways to marinade poultry is to poke the chicken meat with a fork if you’re grilling it. This will help the marinade penetrate into the meat, making for a delicious dish. We recommend trying this marinade next time: olive oil, lemon zest, lemon pepper, cayenne, paprika, and a bit of honey.
• Another secret to crispy chicken – You can also make your fried chicken even crispier by adding about four teaspoons of cornstarch to each cup of flour. Or add one teaspoon baking soda to the batter. 
• Tender poultry trick – For some really juicy and tender poultry, submerge the chicken completely in buttermilk and refrigerate for two to three hours before cooking. You won’t believe the difference! 
• Let poultry rest – After you have finished cooking poultry, be sure to allow the meat to rest for about 20 minutes before carving. We have found that a standing time allows the proteins in the meat to reabsorb the juices, so you won’t have to worry about spillage of juices on the cutting board.
