Southern Staples 101: Chicken Without Stress

This beginner-friendly class is all about taking the stress out of cooking chicken.

In Southern Staples 101, Chef Tee of Tresia’s Catering will walk you through simple, repeatable techniques for seasoning and cooking chicken so it comes out flavorful, juicy, and reliable every time.

This class builds on the same fundamentals taught in Vegetables, But Make Them Delicious, but you do not need to take that class first.

No fancy tools.
No complicated recipes.
Just real food and real confidence.

This class focuses on technique, not memorization. You’ll learn:

• How to properly season chicken (and how much it actually needs)
• When and how to cook chicken so it stays juicy
• How to pair chicken with a simple, flavorful side
• How to time a main and side so dinner comes together smoothly
• How to adjust and fix common mistakes

Perfect for home cooks who want reliable results without stress.

Together, we’ll prepare:

• Seasoned chicken thighs (oven-baked or pan-seared)
• Simple skillet green beans (or similar seasonal side)

(Additional techniques may be demonstrated if time allows.)

• Format: Hands-on, small group
• Skill level: Beginner-friendly
• Class length: Approximately 60–75 minutes
• Class size: Limited to keep the experience intimate and interactive

• Hands-on cooking instruction
• Tasting of everything prepared
• A printed or digital Chicken Confidence Cheat Sheet
• A welcoming, no-pressure learning environment

An optional drink add-on (wine or a signature cocktail) may be offered.

Details will be confirmed in advance based on interest and venue guidelines. Participation is optional.
