Description

Whole chicken is a versatile ingredient with a delicate, slightly sweet flavor and neutral aroma, featuring light breast meat and juicier thigh meat, with skin that becomes golden and crispy when properly roasted. It typically appears as a whole carcass weighing 1–2.5 kg, which makes portioning and stuffing easier. Chicken meat provides high-quality protein, is a source of B vitamins (especially niacin and B6), selenium, phosphorus, and small amounts of iron and zinc, which support muscle building, metabolism, and immunity. In the kitchen, it works well roasted, grilled, braised, and boiled in broths, pairing excellently with herbs, citrus, garlic, as well as vegetables and rice. Store raw chicken in the refrigerator for 1–2 days or freeze for up to 9 months in an airtight container; thaw in the refrigerator and cook to an internal temperature of about 75°C to ensure food safety.
