Chicken is a white meat widely used in the food sector, recognised for its versatility, quality and efficiency in the kitchen. Naturally lean and rich in high-biological-value proteins, it lends itself to a variety of culinary preparations.
Available whole or in various cuts, fresh or frozen, it allows for the preparation of a wide variety of dishes, making it a practical solution for catering, retail, the food industry and the hospitality sector.
This is the upper part of the bird (the “arm”), which is very tasty due to the skin and the meat’s proximity to the bone. It should be fried (can be done in an air fryer) or roasted with seasoning until crispy. It is a favourite snack for starters and barbecues.
This is the meat from the front of the bird. It can be sold fully trimmed (skinless and boneless) or with the skin on to retain moisture. It is a lean and very tender meat, ideal for grilling. It is widely used in salads, stroganoff or even stuffed with cheese and ham.
This is the entire lower part of the bird (thigh and drumstick together). The meat is darker and juicier as it contains slightly more fat. It is excellent when roasted in the oven or slow-cooked. It forms the basis of many traditional stews.
This is the upper part of the leg, available with skin and bone, or in more convenient skinless and boneless versions. It is very tender and should be grilled or braised. Great for barbecues, rice dishes or chicken curry.
A cut with little meat but a rich flavour, taken from the bird’s neck. It should be boiled or stewed. It is key for making rich chicken soups or the “pipis” snack.
These are the lower extremities, sold already skinned and cleaned. They are rich in natural gelatine and have a cartilaginous texture. They should be cooked thoroughly over a low heat. They are used to thicken broths or as a traditional snack.
