Chef's Secret Ingredient for Perfectly Juicy Chicken Breasts Revealed

A TikTok chef has shared a simple yet effective method for achieving the 'juiciest chicken breasts ever,' with the key ingredient being a common household item. The chef, known as @ketorecipes, claims that adding a pinch of baking soda to the marinade tenderises the meat fibres, ensuring the chicken remains moist and 'dripping with juice.'

The technique begins with seasoning and marinating the chicken breast using a blend of spices, yoghurt, lemon juice, and baking soda. After allowing the chicken to reach room temperature, it is seared over medium heat with a lid on for three and a half minutes. The chicken is then flipped and cooked for just over seven minutes before being left to rest for five minutes prior to serving.

The video showcasing this method has garnered over 5,000 views on TikTok, with viewers eager to try the recipe. One fan recommended using an air fryer with foil for additional moisture, while another commented, 'Your recipes are amazing - thank you.' The chef's approach promises 'perfect' results every time, offering a solution for those struggling with dry chicken breasts.
