Cooking chicken for the family

There are many benefits of choosing chicken as a main meal choice and, luckily for shoppers in the UK, it is readily available and just waiting to be eaten. The fact that it is so versatile makes it one of the most popular meats all around the world, and it has many properties that make it great for meal times.

When it comes to buying meat, it goes without saying that it should be purchased from a reliable and trustworthy source. There are plenty of supermarkets and butchers, and even online butchers, that stock both normal chicken and corn fed chicken. Usually, butchers are the best place to go for those who like to know exactly where their corn fed chicken came from.

A noticeable difference with corn fed chickens is that they have yellow skin because of their diet. In terms of flavour, it usually just comes down to personal preference.

Also depending on preference, the chicken can be marinated before cooking to add more flavour to the end meal. Usually, it is necessary to slice the skin a little if it is being marinated it so the flavour goes deeper.

One of the most popular ways to cook a chicken is to roast it, and this can be a great addition to a Sunday dinner or any type of meal. Chicken can also be barbecued or grilled if preferred but, regardless of the cooking method, the most important thing to remember is that it is cooked thoroughly and that there is no pink meat left.
