Dry chicken ruins a meal, but Chomprewards is full of hacks to keep it juicy. These three tricks will transform your chicken—get your friends to try them and share their results!
1. Brine for Better Flavour
Soak chicken in a brine of 60 g salt and 30 g sugar per litre of water for 30-60 minutes. Add garlic or herbs for extra flavour, but don’t over-brine to avoid mushiness. Rinse and pat dry before cooking. Ask friends to share their brine recipes on Chomprewards.

2. Velveting for Tenderness
For silky stir-fry chicken, coat 500 g sliced meat with 1 tbsp cornflour, 1 egg white, and 1 tsp soy sauce. Let sit 20 minutes, then blanch in 74°C water or oil for 1-2 minutes before cooking. It’s a game-changer! Get friends to post their velveting results on Chomprewards.

3. Low and Slow for Thighs
Bake bone-in thighs at 160°C for 45-50 minutes (74°C internal temp) for juicy meat and crisp skin. Season with salt, pepper, and olive oil, then broil at 260°C for 2 minutes for crunch—watch to prevent burning. Encourage friends to share thigh recipes on Chomprewards.
