How to Store Chicken:
When it comes to storing chicken, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, make sure the chicken is properly chilled. Chilling will make the chicken more tender and prevent it from going bad.

How to Eat Chicken
If you're new to cooking with chicken, these tips will help make the process easier. Start by purchasing fresh, whole chickens rather than pre-packaged birds. This way you can ensure that the chicken is healthy and has not been treated with any harmful chemicals.
Once you've acquired a fresh bird, it's time to prepare it for cooking. First, remove any excess fat or skin. Next, cut the bird into pieces that will fit easily into a baking dish or skillet. Always remember to season your chicken before cooking! Just a light dusting of salt and pepper will give your chicken the flavor it needs without being too heavy on the spices.
Now it's time to start cooking! Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spread some olive oil on top of your chicken pieces. Then bake them for about 20 minutes or until they are cooked through. You can also cook your chicken in a pan over medium-high heat until it is cooked through or in the oven on a wire rack set on top of a baking sheet so that the juices run clear when cut into.
Once your chicken is cooked, it's time to get creative with its recipe options! Try one of our tasty recipes below: - Crispy Fried Chicken Wings - Honey Garlic Drumsticks - Lemon And Herb Roasted Chicken
