đź‘‹ Intro
At FitPack, we prep dozens of healthy meals every week. And for a long time, cooking chicken consistently was one of the most frustrating parts of the process. Too often, we’d pull a batch out of the oven only to realize some pieces were overcooked… while others were still underdone.
We tried timing everything. We even tried “feel.” But it just wasn’t working.
🔥 The Problem: Inconsistent Chicken
When you’re cooking in batches—especially with different-sized portions—it’s nearly impossible to know if each piece is cooked properly without cutting into it. That slows everything down, dries out the meat, and sometimes even leads to waste.
Back then, we were guessing. And that guesswork was costing us time and quality.
“Too often, we’d pull a batch out of the oven only to realize some pieces were overcooked…”
🌡️ The Tool That Changed Everything
Then we bought a simple digital food thermometer—nothing fancy, just a quick-read model from Amazon.
Suddenly, everything got easier.
Now we:
- Pull the tray from the oven
- Stick the probe into the thickest piece
- Wait 2 seconds…
- And we know right away if it’s done (75°C / 165°F = ✅)
No guessing. No cutting. No wasted portions.
âś… The Results
The first week we used it:
- Our prep workflow sped up
- Every chicken portion was juicy, not dry
- Customers noticed the consistency
Most importantly? We started trusting our own process more.
🔧 Best For:
- Anyone meal prepping chicken weekly
- New cooks who want reliable results
- People managing calories or macros (precision matters)

🧠FitPack Tip
We use a marker to write the batch number or day on the packaging, so we know when it was cooked and can cross-reference with our prep schedule.
