Question by Erik: What is the simmer sauce in chicken street tacos?
I have eaten these type of tacos at a festival prepared by Mexicans and they are so good. I noticed the shredded chicken is in a sauce and I haven’t been able to emulate that. What special Mexican spices are in this simmer sauce? Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by shine
2 pounds boneless chicken thighs
1 large white onion, peeled and quartered
5 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly crushed
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 ancho or other mild dried chili, optional
Salt and pepper to taste.

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and add water to cover. Turn heat to high, bring to a boil, and skim any foam that comes to the surface. Partially cover and adjust heat so mixture simmers steadily. Cook until meat is very tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from liquid and cool.
Shred meat with fingers. Taste and adjust seasonings. Yes it is that simple!

Chicken is quite versatile and can serve as the cornerstone for making tasty and nutritious meals. There are so many things you can do with it. Let’s look at preparation and cooking tips that will have you and those you share meals with super impressed with your dishes.

Chicken Cooking Tips – Preparation Methods

We’ll look at wet and dry seasonings and spices we can use to prepare our poultry. If you are pressed for time you should use dry seasonings since marinades need time to have the flavoring absorb into the chicken. Ingredients I love to use in my marinade include:

I made garlic chicken which is a little like Italian? style. Trust me it tasted so good. Not too much work but worth enough to try. As I said in this video, you can use any ingredients you think it works with it. I used cheese. It didn’t work well with this but others are worked really well. If you like spicy, you might want to add some kimuchi?…May be. Just try whatever you think it works with it. That’s how you enjoy cooking!

Question by kayjaykay: Recipe using chicken stock, to take advantage of good homemade stock?
What is a recipe that uses chicken stock, that will take advantage of the flavors of a good homemade stock?

In reading discussions of homemade vs store-bought stock, ppl say they use homemade for “delicate” soups and other recipes. For non-delicate recipes such as braises which would overpower the stock, store-bought is fine.

So what would be a good “delicate” recipe? Is butternut squash soup “delicate”?

Answer by Catherine Earnshaw
Use you homemade stock as a base for gravy or chicken stew. That’s definitely the best showcase for your hard work!

Question by wearyblossom: How do you bake chicken with crispy or firm skin?
I can be inconsistent when it comes to baking chicken sometimes. I hate it when I bake chicken wings and the skin remains somewhat soft and fatty-like, despite the fact that its baked thoroughly and seasoned/flavored well.

How do you firm or crisp the skin when baking chicken?
please keep in mind that I am referring to crispy BAKED/BROILED chicken and not fried or breaded chicken.

Answer by Lisa
