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.

🌶️ Chili Peppers

  • Remove seeds and ribs for less heat — that's where the capsaicin lives.
  • Wear gloves when handling hot chilies to avoid burning your skin.
  • Toast dried chilies in a dry pan for deeper, smokier flavor.

Nutrition: Extremely high in vitamin C. Capsaicin may boost metabolism and reduce pain.

Storage: Refrigerate fresh chilies for 1-2 weeks. Dry chilies last 1 year.
