National Fried Chicken Day!
There are few things as American (or delicious) as fried chicken, and today on National Fried Chicken Day we want to give it its proper recognition. Fried chicken is an all-timer when it comes to comfort food, as good for your soul as it is for your taste buds. Whether you like hot and spicy or original and mild, we’ve got just thing for you!
Did you know that the Scottish played a major role in the birth of fried chicken? It’s surprisingly true! Scottish immigrants in the Southern states had a tradition of deep-frying chicken in fat. These immigrants often worked, lived, and ate with African slaves, who added some spices and touches of their own to the chicken. Eventually, many of slaves became cooks in the south, where fried chicken first became a staple.
The story begins with James Boswell, who wrote about the Scottish locals eating “fricassee of fowl” in his 1773 journal. Boswell described it as “fried chicken or something like that.” In actuality, he was talking about a dish in Scotland called Friars Chicken, not fried chicken, but this is where the recipe first got its name!
Although the very beginnings of fried chicken may remain a mystery, the first recorded recipe dates back to 1747. In a book titled “The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy” by Hannah Glasse she included a recipe called “To Marinate Chickens.” The book found major success in both the UK and the US Colonies.
Since its humble beginnings, fried chicken has become a foodie favorite. Now, different recipes and variations are popular in countries around the world. Every day is a good day for fried chicken, but especially National Fried Chicken Day. Stop by your local store and pick up our Original or Spicy variety for dinner!

Health & Wellness with Tylenol
Eugene Kupiec, PharmD
Tylenol is the #1 doctor recommended brand for pain relief and fever reduction. This drug has been used for almost 70 years and millions of Americans trust Tylenol to get the job done every week! Tylenol can be used for nearly everyone ranging from infants to the elderly. Tylenol is NOT an NSAID like aspirin or ibuprofen, it works differently. It does not have the same blood “thinning” action as many NSAIDs do making Tylenol a great option for those already on blood thinners, those with a history of gastrointestinal bleeding, and anyone else who cannot take NSAIDs.
Pain hits fast and Tylenol is prepared to provide fast relief. Tylenol is available in caplets, liquids, and even in Rapid Release Gels. TYLENOL® Rapid Release Gels have laser drilled holes for release that helps the medication act fast for fast pain relief with the convenience of a capsule. Tylenol also has extended-release tablets for those with around the clock pain! Whether it’s a headache, fever, aches, or pains, Tylenol has been proven effective, but what about safety?
Safety
Tylenol is also called acetaminophen, paracetamol, or is sometimes abbreviated as “APAP”. It has been clinically proven to be safe and effective when taken as directed. It is important to read the box when taking Tylenol and follow the dosing instructions carefully. The maximum safe daily dose of Tylenol to be taken orally is 4000mg or 4g daily. That would be two extra strength tablets every 6 hours for 24 hours.
This dosing threshold is so important because Tylenol in larger doses than 4g per day can cause serious liver damage. For this reason, it is also important to look out for other medications that may have acetaminophen in them. Some branded medications that contain acetaminophen are Excedrin, Nyquil, Sudafed, Theraflu, Percocet, Fioricet, Ultracet, and Vicodin to name a few! If you are taking Tylenol, always check the label of a new medication to ensure you are not exceeding the 4g/day threshold. Now head over to your local Price Chopper or Market 32 and find the Tylenol product that is right for you! If you are unsure about a product or about safety, you can always ask your pharmacist or doctor.
Dairy Does More

June is Dairy Month! At Price Chopper and Market 32, we celebrate the many ways dairy foods bring flavor and fun to our favorite foods, and essential nutrients to cup and plate to help us grow and thrive. Dairy farmers and processors throughout the states we serve work so hard to bring delicious, sustainable and economically important dairy foods to our stores and communities – we are glad to partner with them for PICS products and community food and nutrition security programs.
So, what is so good about dairy? Begin at the beginning – with milk! Milk provides 13 essential nutrients, including calcium, phosphorus, vitamin A, vitamin D (in fortified products), riboflavin, vitamin B12, protein, potassium, zinc, pantothenic acid, niacin, iodine and selenium. The term “essential” has a specific meaning when we talk about nutrition – it means we need to get these nutrients from foods. Our bodies can make some nutrients, like Vitamin D is made in skin when exposed to sunshine, but not quite enough to meet health needs – that is part of why Vitamin D is fortified in dairy products. Adults and children in America are not getting enough dairy, fruits or vegetables, calcium, potassium, Vitamin D or fiber – just one or two more servings of milk per day can close some nutrient gaps and support overall better nutrition. Check out the 2020 Advisory Committee Report.
Dairy foods are so diverse, and ongoing research shows that diversity may be key when it comes to how dairy components and nutrients impact health. The April 2021 Tufts Nutrition Newsletter highlighted some of the research showing how different dairy foods deliver benefits. Bottom line? Focus on low-fat and fat-free dairy to manage saturated fat, and power-pair appetizing low-fat dairy foods with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and legumes to energize eating well. Check out these dairy + plant power-pair ideas for some inspiration!
Dairy farmers, like grocery store workers, have been essential to ensuring fresh milk and dairy foods have been available to shoppers and food insecurity programs throughout the country during this challenging year. Shoppers can partner with Price Chopper and Market 32 to support ongoing efforts in New York and Pennsylvania to be sure families have better access to milk and other nutritious foods by rounding up change at the register during May and June to “Fill a Glass with Hope and a Plate with Promise”. Milk is the most requested item at food pantries and the least donated – each $5 donated equals ½ gallon of milk, or eight glasses of milk! The need has never been greater, it is a great investment in community health. Make June your month to power up delicious dairy and reap the benefits!
