What's the Big Deal, it's Chicken?

Why Chicken?

Of course, chicken is one of the most versatile and popular proteins around the world, and for good reason! It’s a lean meat packed with essential nutrients like protein, vitamins, and minerals, blah blah blah. It is a healthy choice for all types of diets.

Well if I could only eat one meat for the rest of my life, it would be chicken thighs for a multitude of reasons: use the bones for soup, use the skin as a cracker or a wrap, the meat is moist and for sure you really have to mess up to make it taste bad.

Chicken is popular world-wide

Whether you’re preparing a quick weeknight dinner or a special meal for guests, chicken can adapt to countless recipes and cooking styles. I think that’s why it’s popular around the world.

One of the best things about chicken is its ability to absorb flavors from marinades, sauces, and spices. Whether you’re grilling, roasting, or sautéing, chicken pairs beautifully with a variety of seasonings, from bold BBQ rubs to delicate lemon-herb blends. Plus, it’s an affordable option, offering great value while being accessible to everyone.
