Chicken will be tastier and juicier with 1 added ingredient Gordon Ramsay swears by

The season for Sunday roasts is finally upon us, and a celebrity chef has shared his top secret ingredient to ensure your chicken is that much more succulent. With over 20 published cookbooks, a portfolio of 80 restaurants and 17 Michelin stars, TV cook Gordon Ramsay is famous for his entertaining yet terrifying performances on Hell's Kitchen, now popular again with the new generation of 'Gen Z'.

Now 58 years old, Ramsay insists that a simple egg is his special ingredient. In an episode of Gordon Ramsay Masterclass, the chef states that Brits at home should crack and whisk an egg and gently glaze the skin of the chicken. He explained that this will allow your chosen seasoning to cling to the skin, resulting in a beautifully delicious roast full of flavour.

Additionally, the egg yolk will encourage the skin to cook to a golden brown whilst still retaining its juices. The chef said: "The labour of love is at the beginning. Treat this bird with respect, and trust me, it'll come back tenfold". Despite the cost of living and inflating food prices, The Sun claims this hack can be made affordable, with Aldi offering a 12-pack of eggs costing only £2.79. This makes each egg glaze 23p.

And if you're not a regular fan of roasts, Ramsay has a list of easy meals that he tends towards when trying to maintain his shape, all of which include eggs. Joking that they were "boring," the TV star explained how his personal meals were much plainer than the dishes he's known to taste on Kitchen Nightmares.

Ramsay spoke to Men's Health, admitting that his day-to-day diet includes a morning protein shake and scrambled eggs for lunch. This is due to eggs allowing you to feel fuller for longer due to being a true source of protein and rich with all nine amino acids, essential to the human body which cannot produce them on its own.

This is followed by a dinner consisting of simple poached chicken or fish, made with a minimal - if not any - added fat. And whilst this might shock viewers and foodies alike, know that Ramsay still abides by his own standards whilst in the kitchen, his method never suggests meat to be boiled. True to style, he insisted: "Boiling it is going to give it a texture like f***ing Gandhi's flip-flop".
