Cooking the Chicken
You can choose to fry, grill, or blacken the chicken. For frying, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil. For grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. For blackening, use a cast-iron skillet. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
