chicken meat
Chicken meat
Chicken meat is edible muscle from unspecified portions, sold fresh, frozen, whole, cut, boneless, bone-in, or minced.
About Chicken meat
Chicken meat is the edible muscle tissue of a chicken, but the name does not identify a specific cut. It may come from breast, thigh, drumstick, or other portions, and can be supplied bone-in or boneless, skin-on or skinless. Raw meat ranges from pale pink to darker red depending on the portion, and becomes opaque and firmer when cooked.
Chicken meat is widely used roasted, grilled, fried, braised, or cooked by other methods. It is sold fresh, frozen, whole, or cut into pieces, and may be minced or otherwise prepared. Because the category covers different cuts and processing states, a more specific description is needed for precise comparisons of appearance, texture, or composition.
