Can I bake them? How long? They look partially cooked already. Use a rack or no rack? Should I grill or broil instead or is baking good enough? Cover the pan or not to?

You can bake them - I would bake about 5-6 minutes on each side.

is it really partially cooked cuz it looks it? is that why it needs less time baking? (I never did this before if u cant tell and I dont want us to starve t'nite)

you bake chicken cutlets for 45 minutes! I bake mine for maybe 15 minutes total- they are baked through no pinkness. Whats the point of cooking more? Maybe the cutlets I buy are thinner so need less cooking......

yeah, cutlet I cook at least at 400 (if not in the broiler) turning every 2-3 minutes until cooked through....about 15 min total....cook too much or too slow: they will be dry.

timing depends on how much marinade is on the cutlets and how thick the cutlets are. uncovered if you like drier cutlets, covered if you like moist.

I doubt they're partially cooked. that's really unhealthy!

partially cooking food for later use.

the internal temperature of the food doesn't get hot enough to kill bacteria, and actually the heat catalyzes the multiplication of the bacteria to the point which subsequent cooking may not be able to kill it all.

oh, I meant that they look whitish instead of pink from the marinating, thats not what you meant right?

Are you saying if I undercooked chicken and then decided to recook it the rest of the way 2 days later - thats no good?

Oh, the ende result was I baked them uncovered at 350 , forgot them in the oven, remembered too late (45 min) they tasted like cardboard LOL

don't worry abt the color. stick a fork in the thickest part and twist a bit. assuming you know the texture of cooked chicken, you shouldn't have a problem with this method Wink

if this ruins the presentation, fill the hole with some marinade.

that's fine. what are they marinated in? sitting in citrus can make the food look completely cooked.

and yeah, if you finish cooking the food at a later point, you're taking a risk. if the meat just happens to have unhealthy bacteria on it, which happens from time to time, you can get your family sick from it.
