How do I know when chicken is fully cooked?

The safest way to check is by using a meat thermometer; chicken is safe to eat when it reaches an internal temperature of 75°C. Alternatively, pierce the thickest part of the meat with a skewer; if the juices run clear and there is no pink meat visible, your chicken is ready to serve.

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast?

Absolutely! Chicken thighs are a fantastic alternative as they have a slightly higher fat content, which makes them more forgiving and less likely to dry out during high-heat cooking. They are particularly delicious in slow-cooked stews and spicy curries.

How should I store raw chicken?

Raw chicken should always be stored on the bottom shelf of your fridge to prevent any juices from dripping onto other foods. It should be kept in its original packaging or a sealed container and used within two days of purchase.

Is chicken a good option for weight loss?

Yes, chicken breast is one of the leanest proteins available, being high in protein and low in fat. It is an excellent choice for those following a calorie-controlled diet as it helps you stay full for longer while supporting muscle repair.

Can you reheat cooked chicken?

Yes, you can reheat chicken safely, but it should only be done once. Ensure the chicken is piping hot all the way through before serving. To keep it from drying out when reheating, try adding a splash of water or stock to the pan or dish.

What are the best seasonings for chicken?

Because chicken is so mild, it takes on flavours incredibly well. For a Mediterranean vibe, try lemon, garlic, and oregano. For something more exotic, go for smoked paprika, cumin, or a bold garam masala blend found in our HelloFresh Ireland curry kits.
