Frequently Asked Questions

In this section we are going to try and answer some of your most frequently asked questions on this topic. So, without further ado, let us dive right in and get started!

Is Cooking Chicken In A Skillet Healthy?

Yes! If you are pan searing your chicken it is certainly a healthy choice. This is especially the case for chicken breast as it is a high protein meal which does not contain a lot of carbohydrates.

So, if you were worried about your skillet chicken being unhealthy, you do not need to worry. It is a healthy option and one that you should certainly try at least once. 

How Do You Cook Chicken Breast In A Frying Pan?

Cooking chicken breast in a frying pan is far easier than you might think. In fact, there are only five steps that you need to keep in mind. 

1. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.
3. Carefully add the chicken to the hot pan and cook for between five and seven minutes.
4. Flip the chicken and cook until it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit, for five to seven minutes or more if needed.
5. Slice up your chicken breast and serve.

Bear in mind, there are other ways for you to cook chicken, but this is the simplest way to pan fry your chicken. It does not require much work and the chicken will certainly be delicious. 

Do You Put Oil In A Pan With Chicken?

Do not douse your chicken in oil but you can lightly coat the button of the pan. But if you are using a nonstick pan or a pan that has been well seasoned you may not need to add any oil at all.

It is essential that you only add your chicken to the pan once it has reached the right temperature. This is so that it is cooked immediately after you have put it in the pan. 

Is It Better To Bake Or Pan Fry Your Chicken?

Oven baked chicken is healthier than pan fried. With the right recipe you can have perfectly cooked chicken breast or thighs without much issue at all.

Frying chicken can be unhealthy because there may be a lot of excess oil and fat in the pan which can have a bunch of hidden calories in it. That being said, both options are not bad for you.

What you really need to watch out for is chicken that has been deep-fried as it contains more oil than either of these options. 

What Oil Is Best For Pan Fried Chicken?

If you want to pan fry your chicken then the best option for oil has to be one of the following: Vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil.

It is not recommended that you use butter or olive oil as they both will smoke faster fir to the lower smoke points.

If you want to make sure that your chicken fries properly then you need to make sure that the temperature stays between 350 degrees Fahrenheit and 365 degrees Fahrenheit.

You will also need to make sure that you bring the oil back to temperature between batches that you are cooking. 

Can You Mix Butter And Oil To Fry Chicken?

Yes you can. Neutral oils like vegetable oil will have a higher smoke point unlike butter. The sad fact of the matter is that they do not have the best flavor.

But when you mix something like butter with oil you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Flavorful vegetable oil to keep the smoke point high and butter to that much-needed flavor.
