That sounds good, but at least to my taste, you have to "do something with" chicken, for it to have any real flavor. Chicken all by itself is like a blank slate, and it is far more enhanced by anything you do to it, such as marinating, battering or breading it, spices, and so on.
I have tried recreating KFC using one of several copycat recipes, and the flavor is there, but something is just missing. But I don't have a pressure fryer either.
Air fryers are not all they're cracked up to be (but then again I got a budget knockoff from Best Buy), but for bacon and hash browns, they do an amazing job. That alone was worth buying it.
Thanks for your thoughts, I've been roasting them while on my health kick. About 19 months ago I weighed about 269 lb and my blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides were out of control. My doctor mentioned insulin during the visit and I told him to give me 3 months.
As of this past March, my a1c dropped to 5.2, my blood pressure was in the mid to low normal range for the first time in decades, and I had dropped about a hundred pounds. Today I'm just shy of the 112 lb lost mark. I'm also down to 1 med. When I started I was on 8 or 9 iirc.
Anyhow I'm used to a bland diet, as that's how I did it. And exercise. My visceral fat is my last hurdle so instead of roasting the tenders coated with butter I'm looking to eliminate more calories.
I went ahead and steamed some. I brined them and dropped them in the steamer basket checking after about 11 minutes. They were medium-sized thickness and seemed done but I gave them a few more months minutes.
Fairly moist and tender. I just sprinkled some McCormick Montreal seasoning on them and they are quite decent. Not as tasty as the roasted with butter but they'll work.
Fwiw, I eat a good amount of 88% Dark Chocolate as well. Fair exchange brand. That stuff is nutrient dense.
ETA: doc was having me come back every 3 months to keep an eye on my blood work and make sure I wasn't losing weight too fast. In March he told me to wait 6 months. I'll see him in the morning. I expect my a1c to be lower than 4.9 this time. I have my fasting glucose down in the 80s and my daily avg reading is in the 90s.
We'll see.
