Our chickens are lovingly reared to the highest standards of animal welfare by Nevil and Rona Amiss at Higher Fingle Farm, a grassland farm in the rolling parish of Drewsteighton on the edge of Dartmoor. They have won numerous awards for their poultry, including a Gold Award at the 2005 Taste of the West Awards.
The most versatile of chicken cuts - they can be grilled whole, pan fried, roasted or steamed. You can also chop them up and use them in stir-fries, casseroles or curries. These chicken breasts are boneless and skinless.
We guarantee that your order of meat and fish will have 3 days before its expiry date, including the day you have it delivered. All of our meat and fish can be frozen.
Chicken (100%)
Chicken, as with all meat, is a good source of protein. However the chicken liver itself, provides us with more specific health benefits, high in iron, folic acid and zinc. Chicken can help prevent and treat anaemia, due to its concentrated source of nutrients. Chicken liver will be especially useful for you if you are recovering from surgery.
Being rich in zinc, chicken can benefit growth (especially young children), and our immune system. People who eat little, or the elderly, ill or anorexic will find eating chicken extremely beneficial to them due to the high level of zinc.
Chicken should be kept refrigerated, wrapped and kept away from other foods, in the bottom of the fridge. Chicken can be frozen, but should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking.
Our meat and poultry is vac-packed, which keeps the packaging to a minimum. Upon opening, vac-packed meat can sometimes have a strong smell and be darker in colour, but don't worry, remove the plastic & let the meat rest for 10-15 minutes & the odour will disappear and the colour will return to normal!
When grilling, frying or barbecuing chicken breasts, cook them for 15 minutes, turning and occasionally basting. Check they're cooked through by poking them with a skewer - if the juices run clear, they're done. Cooked chicken should not be reheated once it has cooled.
