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.
🍋 Lime
- Microwave a lime for 10 seconds before juicing to get more juice.
- Lime zest has more intense flavor than the juice — use both.
- Lime juice can "cook" raw fish in ceviche through acid denaturation.
Nutrition: High in vitamin C and antioxidants. One lime has about 20 calories.
Storage: Room temperature for 1 week, refrigerated for up to 4 weeks.
