Chicken is a staple in cuisines from around the world, and it's no wonder why. Chicken is a delicious comfort food, and a lean, tasty alternative to red meat.
When you buy organic, you don't have to worry about extra chemicals in your food. The Mayo Clinic says that to encourage unnaturally fast growth, conventional farmers feed their chickens antibiotics and preventive medicine to keep them from getting infections from living in cramped cages.
Some other things to think about: organic food is made without preservatives, so make sure you cook your chicken while it's still fresh. Prepare your chicken safely and minimize your risk of foodborne illness by washing your hands and utensils often. And when you cook chicken, make sure you're getting the most out of your bird. You can make great gravy with a pan reduction, and you can use a carcass for homemade chicken stock for soups. The possibilities are endless!
