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.
🍋 Lemon
- Roll a lemon on the counter before juicing to get more juice out.
- Zest before juicing — it's much easier when the lemon is whole.
- A squeeze of lemon at the end brightens almost any savory dish.
Nutrition: Excellent source of vitamin C and citric acid. One lemon has about 17 calories.
Storage: Store at room temperature for 1 week, or refrigerate for up to 4 weeks.
