Chicken is the most common type of poultry in the world and is more widely consumed than any other meat.
We are shipping both frozen whole chicken and individual parts.
The meatiest parts of a bird are the flight muscles on its chest, called "breast" meat, and the walking muscles on the legs, called the "thigh" and "drumstick". The wings are also eaten and may be split into three segments, the meatier "drumette", the "wingette" (also called the "flat"), and the wing tip (also called the "flapper").
So, main edible parts:
- Breast: These are white meat and are relatively dry. The breast has two segments which are sold together on bone-in breasts, but separated on boneless breasts:
- The "breast", when sold as boneless;
- Two "tenderloin", located on each side between the breast meat and the ribs. These are removed from boneless breasts and sold separately as tenderloins. - Leg: Comprises two segments:
- The "drumstick"; this is dark meat and is the lower part of the leg
- The "thigh"; also dark meat, this is the upper part of the leg. - Wing: Often served as a light meal or bar food. Buffalo wings are a typical example. Comprises three segments:
- the "drumette", shaped like a small drumstick, this is white meat;
- the middle "flat" segment, containing two bones;
- the tip, often discarded.
Additionally, other parts are consumed: chicken feet, giblets, head, kidneys, neck and others.
