Tipps

Choosing Your Chicken

When choosing your chicken, look for a high-quality, organic bird. This will provide you with the best flavor and ensure your dinner is free from added hormones and antibiotics.

Resting Time

Don't skip the resting time after the chicken has been roasted. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, ensuring a juicy bird.

Enjoy Leftovers

if you have leftovers, they can be used in a variety of ways. Try shredding the chicken for a salad, or use them in a homemade soup.

Storage

The leftovers should be refrigerated immediately. This minimizes the chances of histamine developing as the food ages. They are safe to eat for 2-3 days.
