Chicken Recipes Your Kids Will Eat
My daughter, who is 5, calls everything chicken. I do not correct her. Do you know why? She LOVES chicken! Anyone else out there have a kiddo (big or little) that will eat anything as long as you say it is chicken? lol These recipes are going to give you a super tender and juicy chicken that the adults are gonna love as well as the littles. Be sure to check your chicken with a meat thermometer to make sure it reaches safe internal cooking temps…ALWAYS. Personally, we like the texture of chicken about 5 degrees above that. Whether you like it right at safe temp or a little above, with a good meat thermometer, you can make sure your chicken is always cooked just right!
