Elena Moretti

Elena Moretti is the Lead Recipe Developer and Culinary Specialist at Chickeeen. With over fifteen years of dedicated poultry and test-kitchen experience, Elena leads the Chickeeen Test Kitchen in evaluating every cut, temperature curve, and cooking method. Every recipe published on Chickeeen is cooked multiple times with calibrated instant-read digital probe thermometers to guarantee reproducible doneness—from rendering skin slowly in a cold pan to pulling chicken breast at precisely 160°F–162°F for juicy carryover heat. When not testing recipes in the kitchen, Elena analyzes time-temperature data and common home cooking failure modes so home cooks never have to guess.
