When you are making Garlic Chicken for lunch, it is best to heat the crushed garlic and oil in the microwave for about 30 seconds before laying the chicken bosoms in the bowl. The heat helps the garlic permeate the oil faster and therefore, the chicken can absorb more of the flavor. It's OK to bake the chicken after about 30 minutes, but the longer it sits in the oil, the better.

It's purely an aesthetic choice whether to add black sesame seeds to the breading mix. Some people think it adds just a bit of color. Others think they look like dead bugs. And others say the flakes of basil in the breading look like bugs, so what the heck: a few more can't hurt. It's your call.

But what about the mutations you are sure to develop from having eaten microwaved food?

[Ya-ta Boy]

I figure the regular oven baking takes care of any potentially mutating effects.


But mostly I'm curious who considers himself wise enough to click on this topic.

Why, in the name of all that is, would you bread your chicken?

[Ya-ta Boy]

Because I like the crunchy taste of Parmesan cheese with the basil and bread.

How many pieces of garlic do you put in the pan?

When cooking, there is no such thing as too much garlic.

Uncooked garlic? That's another story.

Dude, sautee that garlic in a pan on the stove. It will sear the garlic a bit and give it all a lot more flavor. If you're gonna microwave it, might as well go to Papa Johns or Pizza Hut and ask for that garlic butter shit.

I can't visualize this. I made garlic chicken a couple of days ago. The steps were: Dip chicken in milk/egg mixture, dip in flour/breadcrumb mixture, and fry. Are you soaking breaded chicken in oil before baking? Sorry, just don't get the procedure. Maybe you can post a whole recipe. I could use a better one.
