Why Dark Meat Chicken Never Fails

Most people overthink chicken — worried about undercooking or drying it out. But with this simple 3-ingredient recipe, you’ll cook dark meat chicken perfectly every time using just chicken, beef tallow, and vegetable beef broth.
Start by searing the chicken in beef tallow until the skin turns a perfect golden brown. Then add broth to create a quick pan-braise that locks in flavor and tenderness. The beauty of dark meat is that it’s nearly impossible to overcook — the longer it simmers, the richer and more tender it gets.

It’s the perfect entry-level poultry recipe for home cooks, and with Thanksgiving around the corner, it’s a great way to practice cooking before tackling the turkey. Simple, delicious, and absolutely foolproof.
