Kitchen Tips
Tip 1
Special Extra
Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro before baking as directed.
Tip 2
Keeping it Safe
To thaw ground chicken safely, keep the chicken wrapped and thaw it in the refrigerator -- not on the countertop. Store on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator to prevent any drippings from cross-contaminating other foods. Use thawed chicken within 2 days.
