Description

Premium chicken pieces are a selection of high-quality chicken meat, carefully cut into ideal pieces for various culinary preparations. This ingredient is fundamental in world cuisine due to its versatility, soft texture, and delicate flavor, making it the perfect base for stews, roasts, fried dishes, and braises.

Chicken originated in Southeast Asia and has been domesticated for thousands of years, spreading to all continents thanks to its rapid reproduction and ease of raising. In Latin and Spanish cuisine, chicken is one of the main protagonists of traditional and modern dishes.

Its meat is an excellent source of lean protein, low in saturated fat and rich in B-complex vitamins, such as niacin and vitamin B6, in addition to essential minerals like phosphorus and selenium. Because of these characteristics, chicken is a nutritious and healthy option for the whole family.

In different regions of Latin America, chicken pieces are also known as pollo picado, pollo cortado, or simply pollo para guisar. These names reflect its specific preparation for cooking in pieces, facilitating handling and even cooking in recipes.
