are you talking about roasting it at 400? If it's burnt on the outside,
and raw on the inside, you need to lower the temperature.

It matters not at what temperature you're cooking the chicken....it
matters that the chicken GETS cooked so that there is no chance of
getting salmonella. Trichaenosis (sp) used to be a problem with pork.
It's practically non-existent now --especially if the pork is cooked
properly. Lock jaw? Maybe you're just being "funny." I've never
heard of anyone getting lockjaw from undercooked chicken. But it will
paralylize the typing digits of trolls. Anyway....Brown the chicken
and then braise it slowly in liquid until it's tender. You can;t
really do "dry" cooking of thick cuts of meat in a electric skillet
without some liquid unless you want to stand there forever turning it
over and over.

Nonsense... the liquid can be oil... didn't ever hear of fried chicken?

>Nonsense... the liquid can be oil... didn't ever hear of fried chicken?

Where did I say the liquid cannot be oil? If you re-read my post,
you'll see I said "some liquid" is needed here. I was offering up the
technique of braising....which indeed involves browning in oil. Fried
chicken seems a bit above the OP's skill level, I think.

heh heh heh

hold my beer watch this:

where I lived before this place, I had a huge kitchen

I get the chicken parts cold soaking in buttermilk or just milk

i dip the chicken parts in egg
then coat them with seasoned flour

flour, salt, pepper, paprika, poultry season, a hint of all spice or
cinnamon
maybe a tad more salt, we want to taste the chicken...a little italian
seasoning
a poof of lemon pepper...(or not)...just depends on how it smells

I fry them in med-high heat...till the crust is light brown. I take
them out then and set them aside and brown all the chicken...

then, I repeat...I dip them in egg...coat them again, fry them again...

BUT then I put them on a wire rack inside a pan, and bake everything
for about an hour
around 425 or untill the crust starts to get too dark.

This is not greasy, baking drains the grease out into the pan while
baking

the crust is lite and very...tasty...the meat is done and moist.

I know a killer chocolate cake recipe to go with this chicken

Don't be scared. When you cook it at a lower temperature, but longer,
it will get fully cooked without burning. For example,

Turn electric skillet on to 350°F. Rinse chicken thighs and pat dry
with paper towels. Season them with salt, pepper, and (optional) the
dried herbs of your choosing. Add about 4 TB of oil to the skillet.
When it has reached temp, put the thighs in and cook them, turning
several times, until they are colored the way you want them. Now add
about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of white wine, or sherry, or vermouth, or chicken
stock to the skillet, turn the heat down to 325°F, cover it, and
continue cooking for about 40 minutes. Done. Remove the chicken and
turn the heat up to boil the juices down to about half their volume.
Then spoon them over the chicken as a sauce. -aem

well great

this sounds like a plan

Thanks very much

The last time I did it, I used water at first
just to get it going and then it had
it's own juices adding up in there.
but I was scared to cook it under 400

I don't mind waiting, as I say, I just gotta
be careful, there is nobody to take care
of me but me, so I can't be bawled up in the
floor from improper cooking...lol

im laughing, but Im very careful like this.
since I don't have a stove this is my first
go round with meats

the recipe sounds nice

as long as the meat is not pink anymore and opaque, you're good. Invest
in a food thermometer and you can be sure.

Sure you can. Kinda like f stops relating to shutter speed on a camera.
:-) (trichinosis is commonly associated with undercooked pork and I
think salmonella is the issue with undercooked chicken. "-) Here's a
chicken recipe that's cooked on the low and slow side

Chicken-Rice Dinner

Recipe By : posted to rec.food.cooking by Barb Schaller, 1-19-2006
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Entrees

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3/4 cup white rice
1 can cream of celery soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 soup can milk
Frying chicken pieces
Melted butter (may be omitted)
Parsley flakes

Butter a 1-1/2 quart rectangular baking dish (or a 9x13² pan) and
sprinkle rice in it. In a bowl, combine the cream soups and milk,
stirring until smooth. Pour over rice. Lay chicken pieces, skin side
up, on top. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with parsley flakes,
if desired. Cover tightly with foil or a tight-fitting cover. Bake
2-1/2 hours at 300; remove cover and bake another 30 minutes to brown

Extra good if you add mushrooms and slivered almonds to the soups. No
need for potatoes and gravy as rice takes their place.

Trichinosis comes from undercooked pork; there hasn't been any in the
U.S. for a couple decades, at least. Pork should be cooked to at least
120 deg. Undercooked chicken and/or raw eggs can produce salmonella,
although if your eggs are purchased from a known vendor, the risk is
small.

You can cook chicken easily in a small amount of water or chicken broth
in a covered skillet until the meat is done - you need to test with a
fork to make sure there isn't any pink part. If you put it on a plate,
the juices should run out clear. Depending on the skillet, this will
take from 20 minutes to 45 minutes - you don't want to overcook, and
you don't want a rolling boil. Just a light simmer in the broth. Put
some seasonings in, too, so the chicken has some cooked-in flavor.
Rosemary is good with chicken - salt, pepper, parsley flakes, garlic --
substitute cumin for the rosemary, and you can have a Mexican-flavor
dish. You can use this cooled, cooked chicken in tons of things -
pastry packets, chicken salad, chicken & rice, chicken & noodles,
anything that takes cooked chicken. You can seal up the cooked pieces
(not cut up) in Press 'n Seal Freezer wrap - put all in a Ziploc bag -
it will keep nicely for a couple months, at least. You don't need high
heat (400 deg.) to kill any salmonella - you just need to cook the
chicken until it's done (160 degrees).
