How do we make our Chicken Lollipops?
Once the whole birds are chilled down to 1-2°c, the Legs are “Oyster Cut” from the main carcase. The Chicken Legs are 2 parts, The Thigh & the Drumstick. The Chicken Drumsticks are separated from the Thighs through the soft cartilage in the joint, this is done so that no bone splinters are created.
The next stage for the Drumsticks is to release the meat from around the leg end of the bone. This is simply done with a sharp knife “Cutting in a circle” 20 mm from the end. The next part is to run the knife down the bone approx 4 cm, creating the familiar “Meat Handle” with a large bulb of meat at the hip end. The skin & sinews at the foot end are pulled off the bone making the Lollipops approx 120 grams each.
How do we pack our Drumstick Chicken Lollipops?
Keeping our Chicken fresh / frozen & in perfect condition is why we pack multiple Drumstick Chicken Lollipops in Clear Recyclable Pouches.
Once the Drumstick Lollipops have been made, they are packed within a few minutes to reduce their natural moisture loss. The pieces are placed into the Recyclable Clear Pouches, the air is vacuumed from the pouch & heat sealed, the fresh Chicken Drumstick Lollipops are now perfectly sealed & protected. A label is placed on the underside with Full Traceability & a use by date.
As soon as the packs of Chicken are placed into recyclable boxes, on pallets, they are then “Blast Frozen” to -18°c over a few hours.
The process from farm to fork is all done under the strictest rules & clean practises, with all premises being BRCGS / IFS approved. There are on site health officials monitoring the slaughter, cutting & packing stages ensuring safe products are made. In production, all the air is chilled & filtered, all the staff wear clean fully protective clothing, with a production room deep clean at the end every day.
Cutting & packing our Chicken using the highest standards for production & hygiene ensures the safest meat with the best flavour. The benefit of our production methods is that your Chicken drumstick Lollipops have a 2 year shelf life when stored at -18°c. You can keep them in your freezer, thaw them out slowly, & they taste just like they have been cut fresh.
The Freezer Packs protect your Drumstick Chicken Lollipops from other food flavours & contamination in your fridge at home. The pouches prevent Freezer Burn, damage from other meats during delivery to your door & drying out when bringing them up to temperature before cooking.
The Clear Recyclable Pouches are now stronger & thinner than before, this is to reduce our annual plastic use so we can “Reduce our Carbon Footprint”. Less packaging reduces the amount of plastic needed per portion & also reduces the energy needed to make finished meats.
To further help us towards our goal for a Greener Future, we ask that all our wholesale & online customers recycle responsibly.
Are Chicken Drumstick Lollipops good value for money?
