 No recipe today, however this is today's cooking tips and a simple meal idea: 

 Baking Chicken tips: 

 Rinse the chicken and pat it dry before baking. Once you remove the chicken from its package, rinse it under cool water in the sink (note: always sanitize your sink with disinfectant afterward). Next, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture will ensure you get extra crispy skin. 

 To reduce fat and calories, you can skin chicken legs. 

Prepare all ingredients and preheat the oven to 400°F. 

 Spices: I like to use cumin, onion (grated) garlic (grated), paprika, celery powder, cayenne pepper and dried thyme if you have. Please make sure they are fresh! Spices are delicious, but a stale spice can easily ruin a dish. However, you are free to try different spice combinations. 

 The secret to making them crispy? Don't bake the chicken legs in a 350°F oven for an hour. Instead, bake them in a hot 425°F oven for 40-45 minutes. This will ensure beautifully crispy skin and juicy meat. 

 Do check the chicken after the first 30 minutes. If the skin (or the spices) seem to be browning too much, loosely cover the top with foil and continue baking until cooked through. 

Baked chicken legs are very versatile and truly go with any side dish. 

 


 

 Beetroot: Beetroot is a root vegetable also known as red beet, table beet, garden beet, or just beet, packed with essential nutrients, beetroots are a great source of fiber, folate (vitamin B9), manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C. Beetroots and beetroot juice have been associated with numerous health benefits, many of these benefits are due to their high content of inorganic nitrates. 

 Happy Cooking my foodie-licious cooks!😋🥗🥘🍲🍷🍽

Cherish Every Single Moment With Loved Ones

  Cherish Every Single Moment With Loved Ones.   Not sure if it is the same for you, but too many people I am acquainted with are dying, friends and family members as well. In my opinion it's very important to cherish every single moment with loved ones, the happy and sad moments. Too many people are always angry and fighting over trivial things. Life is unpredictable and we are just passing through this world, therefore our ultimate goal should be to live in harmony with one another while protecting our inner peace.          YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vECaaNt090 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChezTropic Tik tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cheztropic?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1
