Easy, Tasty, and Spicy Chicken Recipes for Home Cooking, Chicken Curry, Chicken Roast – 2022

Chicken is an all-time favorite dish, whether it’s a curry, roast, grilles, or pan-fired. With its mild, versatile flavor and budget-friendly price point, chicken is one of the most-loved meats for home cooks. Our easy and tasty chicken recipes are great for busy days and Sunday parties and will show you how to make chicken at home with a few ingredients, less effort, and minimal time.

For easy and fast cooking, we have used a pressure cooker for cooking, here are some cooking tips.

The pressure-cooking times depend upon the age of the chicken and the size of the pieces. The timing in these recipes reflects cooking with a medium-sized piece of young chicken. For larger or older chickens, increase times by two to five minutes.

Put your chicken in the broiler for a few minutes after pressure cooking for a crispier chicken. This combination of pressure cooking and broiling produces moister and more flavorful dishes than conventional cooking.

Since the cooking liquid and juices of the chicken are so flavorful, our recipes suggest their thickening or reduction after pressure cooking and serving with the chicken. The reduction sauces take about 10 minutes, if you are in hurry or on diet, you may skip the reduced sauce.
