How people cook with it

- Meatloaf base
- Burger patties
- Pasta sauces
- Stir-fry additions
When cooking ground chicken, ensure it is thoroughly cooked through to a safe internal temperature. It can be browned in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat. It can also be added directly to sauces, soups, or casseroles where it will cook within the dish. For burgers or meatballs, it is often mixed with binders like breadcrumbs and eggs before shaping.

How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any unused portion of the ground chicken immediately. Store it in a sealed container or the original packaging, ensuring it is tightly wrapped. It is best to use the remaining chicken within one to two days for optimal freshness and safety.
