Cooking Tips

Storage: Refrigerate raw chicken up to 2 days. Freeze for up to 9 months.
🍄 Mushrooms
- Don't wash mushrooms — wipe them with a damp cloth to clean.
- Cook mushrooms in a single layer without crowding for the best sear.
- Add mushrooms to a hot, dry pan first, then add oil after they release moisture.
