Hand Diced Chicken Thigh 500g

£4.75

Hand-diced, raw chicken thigh is a high-quality cut of boneless, skinless chicken thigh meat, expertly chopped into generous, even pieces by a butcher. This cut is prized for its rich, succulent flavor and tender texture, which makes it a versatile ingredient for a variety of dishes. 
Taste and texture
  • Rich flavor: As dark meat, chicken thigh has a more pronounced, savory chicken flavor than leaner breast meat.
  • Succulent and tender: The higher fat content of the thigh meat keeps it moist and tender during cooking, making it very forgiving and difficult to overcook.
  • Firm texture: The hand-diced pieces hold their shape well during cooking, preventing them from falling apart in stews or curries.
  • Superior to machine-diced: Hand dicing, done by a butcher, generally results in more consistent and higher-quality cuts compared to the machine-diced alternatives often used in high-volume food production. 
Culinary uses
Hand-diced chicken thigh is a versatile and convenient ingredient for a wide range of recipes, particularly those that require simmering or slow cooking. 
  • Curries and stews: The rich flavor and tender texture hold up well in slow-cooked dishes like curries and casseroles.
  • Stir-fries: The generous cubes cook quickly and evenly in high-heat applications like stir-fries.
  • Kebabs and skewers: The diced meat can be marinated and threaded onto skewers for grilling or baking.
  • Pies and casseroles: It makes an excellent filling for chicken and vegetable pies and other baked dishes.
  • Soups: Hand-diced thigh meat adds a rich flavor and hearty texture to homemade soups and noodle dishes. 
Handling and safety
  • Raw product: This is a raw product and must be cooked thoroughly to a core temperature of at least 75°C to ensure it is safe to eat.
  • Cross-contamination: As with all raw poultry, handle with care and practice good hygiene to prevent cross-contamination.
  • Storage: Store in a refrigerator or freeze according to the packaging instructions to maintain freshness.
