FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does raw bone-in chicken last in the fridge?
Raw chicken pieces should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 1 to 2 days before cooking or freezing.
Can I freeze bone-in skin-on chicken pieces?
Yes, they can be frozen for up to 9 months for best quality, though they remain safe to eat indefinitely if kept constantly frozen at -18°C (0°F).
Should I wash chicken before cooking?
No, washing raw chicken can spread harmful bacteria like Salmonella or Campylobacter onto kitchen surfaces and other foods.
What is the best way to get crispy skin?
Dry the skin thoroughly, season with salt, and start cooking at a high temperature or sear in a pan before roasting.
How do I know if the chicken has gone bad?
Signs of spoilage include a sour or ammonia-like smell, a slimy texture, or a grayish/greenish color change.
Is bone-in chicken more flavorful than boneless?
Yes, cooking with the bone and skin helps retain moisture and imparts more depth of flavor to the meat and any surrounding sauce.
What can I substitute for bone-in skin-on pieces?
You can use boneless skinless pieces, but reduce cooking time as they cook faster and may dry out more easily.
Are there more calories in skin-on chicken?
Yes, the skin contains a significant amount of fat, which increases the calorie count compared to skinless cuts.
What are common dishes for these cuts?
They are ideal for roasting, braising (like Coq au Vin), frying (Southern style), or grilling.
How do I ensure the meat near the bone is cooked?
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) even right next to the bone.
