Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Storing Chicken.......


Keep chicken from drying out in the refrigerator by keeping it tightly wrapped. If the chicken dries out, it will become tough.

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Cutting Fat...........


Cut down on calories and fat by - Remove the skin from poultry. You can do so after cooking, since the meat doesn't absorb much of the fat. 

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Go with the thighs over breasts............


Go with thighs, which have deeper, richer chicken flavor than breast meat. They can withstand the dry heat of the grill and stay moist.

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Freeze the meat.......


To easily slice meat or poultry, partially freeze it beforehand and your knife will glide right through.

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Make sure the Chicken is done......


To ensure doneness, check the temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer. A thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh or breast should produce a temperature of 170°F. Enjoy that Chicken!

Satisfy your Mexican-food craving with this healthy recipe. Just dump all your ingredients into an electric multicooker, such as the Instant Pot, in this easy recipe for flavorful arroz con pollo..........


Cashew Butter Chicken Masala
Butter or even heavy cream usually gives butter chicken its rich, satisfying quality. In this healthy version of a butter chicken recipe, cashew butter creates an equally luxurious texture. Chickpea flour thickens the sauce, but is optional if you don't have it on hand. For weeknight speed, marinate the chicken ahead of time and you can have this dish on the table in about 30 minutes. Serve with steamed spinach and basmati rice.........

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Didn't know this.........


When choosing meat or poultry in the supermarket, look out for liquid on the bottom of the package. If it is there, it means the food has been frozen and thawed; the cells have ruptured, releasing some of the fluids. To store meat in the refrigerator, wrap it in a clean plastic wrap or waxed paper. The supermarket wrapping often contains residue.

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Roasted Chicken.......


Let roasted chicken rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving to allow juices to be distributed throughout the meat. Standing the chicken up with bottom end up allows more juices to run into the drier breast area.

Preparation:

1 - Rinse chicken and blot dry with a paper towel. Place chicken on cutting board breast side down and remove the backbone with sharp cutting shears, cutting along each side of the backbone. Open the chicken up and turn over. Cut the skin over the breastbone with a scissors. Turn the chicken back over. Using a knife, cut along each side of the breastbone to remove. Cut through the remaining cartilage with a heavy, sharp knife. (There are tutorials for this on-line too.)
2 - Place chicken halves in a glass, baking dish and add 1 cup of lemon juice. Cover and allow the chicken to marinade in the juice for 8 to 24 hours.

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Cooking Chicken........


Always cook chicken to a safe temperature of 165°F. You should use a meat or instant-read thermometer to check that the chicken is done. Insert it into the thickest part of the thickest piece, and just be careful the tip of thermometer isn't touching bone, which can give you a false reading.

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

When grilling remember.........



Wash everything after handling raw meat, and don’t reuse the plate that you used for holding or preparing uncooked meat. Food safety first!
