Ideal Use

  • Gourmet Chicken Burgers: Perfectly sized for searing or crumbed chicken burgers, providing a thick, juicy bite that stays firm even when stacked with multiple toppings.
  • Quick Stir-Fries and Curries: The lean, boneless nature allows for rapid dicing and flash-frying, absorbing the bold flavours of your spices and sauces without diluting them with excess water.
  • Family Dinner Roasts: Can be stuffed with spinach and feta or wrapped in macon for a quick, elegant midweek roast that cooks evenly and stays moist.

Safety and Storage Precautions

  • Cold Chain Integrity: Must be kept refrigerated at 0°C to 2°C; store in the original tray on the lowest shelf of the fridge to prevent any drips onto other food items.
  • Hygienic Handling: Always wash hands, boards, and knives thoroughly after contact with raw poultry to prevent the spread of bacteria like Salmonella to ready-to-eat foods.
  • Safe Cooking Standards: Ensure the fillets are cooked until the internal temperature reaches 75°C; the meat must be white throughout with no pinkness remaining near the centre.
  • Freezing for Convenience: These fillets are suitable for home freezing on the day of purchase; wrap individual fillets in cling film before freezing to allow for easy single-portion defrosting.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why do these fillets look different to water-chilled ones? Because they are air-chilled, they won't release a pool of white liquid when you start frying them.
  • How many people does a 12-piece pack serve? Depending on your recipe, this bulk pack typically serves 6 to 10 adults, assuming one to two fillets per person.
  • Are these fillets skinless? Yes, the Farmer's Choice 12-piece pack consists of skinless and boneless breast fillets for maximum convenience.
