The Science of Simple Cooking
Cooking chicken on a flat top works because of direct heat contact.
This creates a quick sear that locks in moisture while building flavor on the outside.
Flattening the chicken ensures even cooking, so you avoid dry edges and undercooked centers.
Resting the meat after cooking allows juices to redistribute, keeping every bite tender and juicy.
Simple steps, big results.
