For steaming, you can take any part of the chicken, but it is the meat on the bone that will be the most delicious and juicy - legs, thighs, wings. You can add your favorite spices and herbs to the marinade. You can add a little mustard or soy sauce - everything to your taste. If there is no steamer, you can cook in a slow cooker for a couple (in a special basket-steamer).

Note that the quality and taste of the finished dish largely depends on the proper defrosting of the ingredients. How to avoid mistakes and choose the best way, read the article about defrosting.

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it. How to determine the roasting temperature and choose the best oil for frying, and which one is better not to use at all, read here .

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
