Does Chicken Get More Tender The Longer You Boil It?
Not necessarily. While boiling chicken for an extended period of time can result in a more tender texture, it can also cause the chicken to become stringy and dry. Additionally, boiling can leach out some of the flavor and nutrients from the chicken. It is recommended to cook chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety and to ensure it is cooked through, but other cooking methods such as baking or slow-cooking can result in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
