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.
🌿 Cilantro
- Add cilantro at the very end of cooking — heat destroys its flavor.
- Use both the leaves and stems — stems have more concentrated flavor.
- If you hate cilantro, try substituting with flat-leaf parsley or Thai basil.
Nutrition: Good source of vitamins A, C, and K. Contains antioxidants and may aid digestion.
Storage: Place stems in a jar of water, cover with a bag, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
