Natural A Grade Chicken Fillets:
Chicken Fillets or Chicken Breasts can be bought everywhere as these are used in so many different recipes because they are the most popular of all chicken cuts. Most “off the shelf” chicken fillets are around 160-grams & not very thick, many have had water added during the production process to increase their weight, sell at a lower price & increase profit.
When cooking with Chicken Fillets you need them to be a good-sized portion to give the flexibility to create different meals. Our Chicken Fillets are approximately 350-grams each so you can make any chicken breast recipe with these. If the fillet is too thin, you are unable to make stuffed chicken breast recipes, our breasts can be sliced down the middle to create two portions from one piece.
As our Chicken Fillets Don’t Have Any Added Water, they lose less water during cooking, they retain their natural moisture better because of their thickness, the meat has a more natural texture when cooked. When you cook with our chicken you get better value for money because the weight you buy, is the weight you cook & this is closer to the end cook weight.
Please see the link as to Why we don’t add water to our chicken, it will surprise you to see why some places offer chicken at very cheap prices.
Having a good flavour in meat is very important, & as chicken fillets are mainly protein & lean, they are best when selected from better reared chickens, & kept totally natural because they don’t have the intramuscular fat for added flavour. Best quality chicken is very high in protein, it has the vitamins & minerals needed for healthy meal preparation, perfect to help build muscle mass, or a reduced fat diet. Chicken Fillets are recommended as the “Go to Meat” for most balanced meal plans.
Buying our Chicken fillets online is great value for money because you don’t get the added water in the meat, & you get 3 large portions that is the equivalent of buying 6-7 so called cheaper fillets. There is 1-Kilo of pure lean breast meat in our packs, enough to feed 5 people 200-grams (7oz) of natural chicken each. This makes your price per portion of chicken very affordable when shopping for chicken.
When it comes to packaging our Chicken Fillets or any of our chicken, we choose to use recyclable clear pouches. These pouches keep the meat chicken safe & in perfect condition, the chicken is vacuum sealed in the pouches because it sucks the natural moisture back into the breasts. To reduce our use of plastic we are now using thinner, stronger pouches without compromising the safety of the meat.
The clear recyclable pouches protect your chicken from becoming freezer burnt or any contamination from other food stuffs, it also keeps your meat well protected when in transit to your door. When you are ready to use you chicken, place into the fridge a few days before to thaw out. The best way to thaw out Chicken fillets is to leave them in their clear pouches at the bottom of your fridge to thaw out slowly, because the meat relaxes gradually not damaging the cells in the meat & leaves you with lovely fresh chicken.
When we produce our Chicken Fillets the chickens have to be at a temperature of no higher than 3°c in the middle of the fillet (thickest part of the chicken) because it will reduce the natural bacteria growth & the meat loses less moisture. The chicken is cut & packed within a few minutes to make the freshest meat possible, once packed the chicken is then “Blast Frozen” to -18°c giving a safe product that has a shelf life of 18 months at this temperature.
All our production plants are BRC / IFS approved & operate under the strictest of conditions. Constantly supervised by on site health vets to ensure all cutting & hygiene processes are adhered to. The temperature controlled cutting rooms with filtered air means we can reduce natural bacteria growth & produce safer products with a longer shelf life. The process from farm to finished product is a very humane & efficient.
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.
Chicken Fillet recipes are great for easy home cooked meals & can be baked, grilled, roasted or smoked on the Barbecue. We have other items available to buy that are already prepared made from our Chicken Fillets; try our Meaty Chicken Skewers or our Marinated Chicken Skewers, we have smaller pieces of Marinated Chicken Fillets ready to cook & all vacuum sealed for the extra freshness.
Making chicken dinners at home is pretty simple & there is plenty of recipes to choose from, we have added some videos of Chicken Breast recipes, with links, in the next tab to help you decide. To help you with your cooking, the videos also give times, temperatures & ingredients to help you complete the meals.
