Nah it's fresh chicken. You can't burn a chicken if you boil it and it tasted hard like yarn.

And the next day I used the same chicken, so it's older, I cooked it without water, THAT'S how you burn something, but I left it on for a short few minutes, and it was a lot more tender.

If it's still hard. U prolly should find a different type of chicken that is most likely to be soft and rippable when chewing it and tearing it with your hands. Or boil it for a longer amount of time and check it constantly.
