Health Benefits of Chicken
Lean chicken is your powerhouse protein for strength and recovery. Rich in B6 for brain function and nerve support, it’s also packed with phosphorus to promote bone health and selenium to strengthen immunity. Chicken brings metabolism-boosting B vitamins to the table, plus easily absorbed iron to help tackle fatigue. Add its naturally low fat profile and high leucine content — ideal for building and maintaining muscle — and chicken makes clean eating taste like a win
Getting the best out of your Chicken
To get juicy, flavour-packed chicken, start by bringing it to room temperature before cooking — this helps it cook evenly and stay tender. Season well with salt, pepper, and herbs like thyme, oregano, or paprika for extra depth. For lean cuts like breast, quick searing or roasting at high heat helps lock in moisture; darker cuts like thighs and drumsticks thrive with longer cooking and richer marinades. Always check for doneness — juices should run clear, and the internal temp should hit 75°C. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing to keep the juices in. For added richness, deglaze the pan with lemon juice, white wine, or chicken stock to create a simple yet punchy sauce.
