Poultry

The poultry category is a diverse and dynamic component of today’s food service operations. Airline breasts, hens and game birds, duck legs and breasts, the list is long and enticing. The variety of choices give chefs the chance to showcase their individuality as well as bring value to the menu mix. American diners can’t get enough of fried chicken and regional traditions are clearly evident when it comes to how it is best served. The different takes on how it should be prepared can stir lively (and tasty) debate. Wings are a consistent menu staple, and not for just when the game is on. Whole chickens are offered in a variety of sizes, from under 2.5 lb to over 5 lb.
 
Animal welfare and humane treatment of stock is important to every member of the foodservice chain – farmer, distributor, chef and dinner guest.
