How Does Texas Roadhouse Make Their Chicken So Tender?

Texas Roadhouse achieves tender chicken through a combination of factors:

• Brining: Texas Roadhouse typically brines its chicken breasts with water, salt, and sometimes sugar. This process helps to season the meat and keep it moist and tender.
• Quality Chicken: They start with high-quality chicken breasts, which tend to be more tender and flavorful than lower-quality cuts.
• Pounding: The chicken breasts may be gently pounded to an even thickness before cooking. This helps ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and stays tender.
• Frying Technique: When they fry the chicken, they carefully monitor the oil temperature to ensure it’s hot enough to cook the chicken quickly, which seals in juices and prevents it from becoming tough.
• Buttermilk Bath: The use of buttermilk in the batter or marinade can also contribute to tenderizing the chicken. Buttermilk contains enzymes that break down proteins, making the meat more tender.
• Frying Time: They fry the chicken for just the right amount of time to achieve a crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Overcooking can result in toughness.

By employing these techniques, Texas Roadhouse can consistently serve tender and delicious fried chicken to its customers. You can also try sitting on time.
