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.
🍞 Bread
- Stale bread makes the best French toast, croutons, and breadcrumbs.
- Store bread at room temperature in a bread box — refrigeration dries it out.
- Refresh stale bread by sprinkling with water and baking at 350°F for 5 minutes.
Nutrition: Source of carbohydrates, B vitamins, and iron. Whole grain bread adds fiber.
Storage: Room temperature for 3-5 days. Freeze sliced bread for up to 3 months.
