tips

Fresh is tastier

1. Because fresh means tasty, prepare your chicken straight away and avoid freezing it. You’ll see just how much tastier and juicier it looks!

Maintain the cold chain

2. If you are not going to cook the chicken as soon as you get home, leave it in the
refrigerator so you don’t break its cold chain.

Well-cooked chicken

3. In any preparation, the chicken should always be well cooked. It is not advisable to eat raw chicken.

When is it ready?

4. When your chicken is ready and at its best, it should be golden on the outside. If
pierced with a fork, a clear juice comes out when completely cooked.

Intensify the taste

5. Chicken absorbs aromas easily, particularly citrus. Therefore, we recommend preparing it with lemon, orange and other citrus fruits to give your dish more taste.

Golden chicken

6. If you want a more golden chicken, cover it with aluminum foil and remove it half an hour before it is ready. This will maintain the moisture of the meat and you’ll achieve a golden and juicy chicken.

Healthy and delicious

7. Preferably, cook your chicken with olive oil so that it absorbs all the properties of this healthy fat.

Broth for taste

8. When you cook chicken, add some vegetables and condiments to the broth. Reserve it
to use in other preparations to give them a delicious flavour.

Crunchier turkey

9. Cover the turkey with butter to make the meat juicier and the skin crunchier.

Juicier turkey

10. If you want to give the turkey more taste, one day before cooking leave it in a dish with brine (water and salt) to soak.

Healthier cuisine

11. To make your preparation healthier, cook the hamburger in water instead of oil!
