How to make chicken juicy: you will need butter

Chicken meat is quite difficult to cook in a really tasty way because it is dietary and dry. And using a lot of different sauces and marinades is not always the right way to go because not all people, for whatever reason, can consume such ingredients. Therefore, it is worth using a useful life hack with butter to make the meat tender and juicy.
