chicken bath for comp's
Quick question. My team has been practicing chicken lately (hands down our worst category) and can't decide between a margarine or a butter bath.
We like the consistency of the chicken with butter but we prefer the flavor that the margarine has been giving us. Any thoughts? |

I'd say it would depend on what temp you're smoking. Margarine has a higher tolerance for heat.

Depends on what margarine you are using - to me, "I can't believe it's not butter" has better flavor than most butter, with a higher smoking temperature threshold.

Re: chicken bath for comp's
I have used this from Restaurant Depot the last few times and have been pleased with the results.

why would you want your chicken to taste like butter or margarine?

Re: chicken bath for comp's
If you clarify the butter first, it has a much higher smoke point, (485F) and can even be used to deep fry.

My chicken has enough cholestrol and does not need more.
