What cut of meat is used in Meaty Chicken Skewers?

Our Chicken Skewers are chunky cubes of meat on a wooden stick, to make the big cubes of chicken we use lean breast fillets. These large Fillets are natural without any added water, with all the fat trimmed off. The natural texture & moisture of the fillets is perfect to make our Meaty Chicken Skewers.

How do we make Meaty Chicken Skewers?

There is only 1 ingredient in our natural Chicken Skewers:

• Fresh large lean Chicken Fillets without added water

The fresh Breast Fillets are trimmed, removing all the fat & any gristle, these are cut into 15 mm cubes. Each Chicken Skewer is approx 100 grams each, a good sized portion for the children & hungry adults can enjoy 2. This helps reduce food waste as nothing is left on the stick as these are friendly sized portions.

The wooden skewers are soaked in water for an hour before the meat, peppers & onions are spiked onto them. The water in the wooden skewers helps to prevent them from burning when cooking on the grill.

How do we pack Meaty Chicken Skewers?

The Chicken Skewers are packed as a “Skin Packed Product“. Each pack contains 3 Skewers with a pack weight of approx 300 grams.

The Natural Skewers are placed flat on the Recyclable Clear Trays, a thin layer of strong plastic film is laid out over the top, & then vacuum sealed. The Skewers are now completely sealed, locking in all the moisture. The labels are automatically printed & stuck to the back of the cardboard with “Full Traceability” on each label. Once packed, these are then “blast frozen” to -18°c, keeping these as fresh tasting for up to 2 years when stored at -18°c.

Enjoy that fresh “Just made Taste” from our Chicken Skewers, straight from your freezer.

The plastic skin protects the meat from drying out when chilled or when left out to bring the meat up to room temperature before cooking. The protective skin stops any other strong flavours contaminating the taste of the meat when stored in the fridge, i.e; strong cheese, fish etc. The packaging prevents any freezer burn when stored in the freezer at home.

The system we use is faster & more efficient, meaning we use less energy & reduce the amount of plastic per portion for the Meaty Chicken Skewers. We encourage all our customers to recycle at home & place all plastic into the recycle bins.

This makes our meat products the safest possible to order online. All production facilities have on site food inspectors to check on temperatures, working practices & cleanliness of the premises, ensuring all health & hygiene rules are obeyed.

Do Meaty Chicken Skewers give good value for money?

They do give good value for money because there is only meat & a few slices of vegetables on our Chicken Skewers & no added water. You only pay for what is on the skewer & not hidden water to add weight to them. One pack feeds 3 people a good portion of natural chicken, making these good value per 100g portion.

We make our Chicken Skewers as a wholesale product, using the latest efficient production methods reducing costs & energy to create the cheapest, high quality skewers. We have the benefit of getting our chicken in large volume at more competitive prices, these savings we make are passed on to our customers in the price of the skewers.

Provenance of our Chicken.

Sourcing all our chicken locally to the production plant enables us to have access to good quality chicken with sustainable supplies. Having built up relationships with local chicken farmers, the chickens supplied very consistent in size & quality, & able to meet our demands for higher volumes when needed.

All the local farms that supply production meet the highest European standards as quality & safety are our main priorities when buying our chicken. The chickens are checked & monitored 24 hours a day in temperature-controlled environments. The Chicken Sheds are very large & well ventilated so that the chickens have room to move about. With a controlled diet the chickens grow to healthy sized birds that produce a good yield.

The process from farm to finished product is a very humane & efficient. See our Provenance Page

How to prepare & cook Meaty Chicken Skewers?

• The best way to cook Chicken Skewers is on the grill. 
• For best results, grill these on the Barbecue;
• Remove the Chicken Skewers from the fridge, leave in the pack on the side at room temperature for 30 mins. This gives a more even cook & lets the meat relax.
• Take the skewers from the packaging & pat dry with paper towel
• Lightly season the skewers evenly 30 minutes before cooking
• Place on or under the grill & turn regularly until evenly cooked (check internal temperature of 75°c for safe eating)
• Try adding a glaze to these 5 minutes before taking of the grill.
• Once cooked, place on a wooden board covered over with a tea towel. this allows the meat to absorb its own juices back into the chicken.

The Barbecue adds a new level of flavour to the Chicken Skewers because the smoke gets into the meat taking them to another dimension.
