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.
🧈 Butter
- Use unsalted butter for cooking so you can control the salt level.
- Brown butter in a light-colored pan so you can see the color change.
- Clarified butter has a higher smoke point and won't burn as easily.
Nutrition: Source of vitamin A and healthy fats in moderation. One tablespoon has about 100 calories.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 1 month, or freeze for up to 6 months.
