About Smoked chicken
Smoked chicken is chicken that has been exposed to smoke for flavour and, in some preparations, preservation. It may be smoked raw or after cooking, and can be sold whole, in portions or as sliced meat. The surface may be browned or darkened, while texture varies with the cut and process.
Its flavour ranges from lightly smoky to strongly smoky, and seasoning or curing may also contribute saltiness and other flavours. Smoked chicken is eaten as prepared or used in cooked dishes. The term alone does not specify the cut, smoke method, cure or whether the product is fully cooked.
