About British chicken

British chicken is chicken produced in Britain; the name does not identify a particular cut, breed or production method. It can be roasted whole or cooked in pieces, and is also sold as portions for frying, grilling, braising or other preparations.

The meat is pale when raw and becomes opaque when cooked; texture and flavour differ between breast, leg and other parts. It is sold whole or cut up, with skin-on and skinless, bone-in and boneless forms. The geographic descriptor does not specify those choices.
