How to Handle Raw Chicken
- Leave the chicken in the fridge until ready to use.
- Be careful of dripping juices. Clean up immediately.
- Do not wash raw chicken (prevents cross-contamination).
- Wash all utensils and cutting boards.
- Wash your hands after handling raw chicken.
Recipe Variation
If you prefer your chicken grilled, you can let the chicken breasts marinate in a zip loc freezer bag containing the lemonade marinade.
Tips
The chicken is ready when the internal temperature taken in the largest part of the breast hits 165°F.
Serving Suggestions
Serve it up with a side of baked beans, herbed couscous or a nice green salad. If you decide to grill the chicken instead of baking it in the oven you can serve it with a side of potato salad or macaroni salad.
