Cooking Tips
🍗 Chicken
- Pat chicken dry before cooking for crispier skin.
- Let chicken rest 5-10 minutes after cooking to retain juices.
- Use a meat thermometer — 165°F (74°C) is the safe internal temperature.
Nutrition: High in protein, B vitamins, and selenium. A 3oz serving has about 26g protein.
Storage: Refrigerate raw chicken up to 2 days. Freeze for up to 9 months.
🫘 Beans
- Soak dried beans overnight to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility.
- Don't add salt until the last 10 minutes — it can toughen the skins.
- Canned beans are perfectly fine — rinse them to reduce sodium by 40%.
Nutrition: High in fiber, plant protein, iron, and folate. One cup cooked has about 15g protein.
Storage: Dried beans last 1-2 years. Cooked beans keep 3-5 days refrigerated.
