Cooking With Context:
Grades 7-12 Foods Classes
Lesson: The Story Behind Your Chicken Strips
A digestible course on local poultry, animal welfare, and the journey from farmer to consumer, to satiate your stomach and mind. We won't leave you hungry! We cater to your needs by including recipe books and chicken for you and your students to cook a delicious meal. Have we whet your appetite? For starters, look at what we're serving below to broaden your students' palette for consumer conscientiousness.
Cooking demonstration is not included in the presentation. Schools are responsible for providing all other ingredients required for the recipe.
Recipes
Each class will prepare either the Crispy Chicken Slider or the Sheet Pan Fajitas recipe the day after the presentation.
Classes will be asked to send pictures of their completed projects to us.
Please note that the pictures will be used on social or our website, so they should focus solely on the completed project.
