Pro Tips for the Best Results

Use a Meat Thermometer

Always check that the internal temp hits 165°F for food safety and optimal texture.

Flip for Even Crisping

Especially important if cooking breaded breasts to ensure a crisp finish.

Slice After Resting

Letting the meat rest keeps juices in when slicing.
