Tips & Tricks

  • When cooking a whole chicken, always make sure to season it well before cooking. This will help bring out the flavor and ensure that your chicken is juicy and delicious.
  • Let your chicken rest before carving and serving to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Best Side Dishes for Chicken

Some of the best side dishes for chicken are roasted vegetables, green beans, crusty bread, or brown rice.

What to do with Leftover Chicken?

Leftover chicken can be used in a wrap or chicken sandwich. Alternatively, you could add it to soup or stew.
