Chicken for Every Taste

Whether it’s tender chicken breast fillets, juicy thighs, chicken wings, or a whole chicken straight from the oven: chicken is one of the most versatile meats in the kitchen. Its relatively mild natural flavor can be transformed in countless ways with herbs, spices, marinades, and sauces.

If you’d like to buy chicken online from Kreutzers, you’ll find various cuts and options based on farming methods and product types. The current selection includes chicken breasts, sliced chicken, drumsticks, wings, Pollo Fino, chicken thighs, whole corn-fed chickens, free-range chickens, and chicken livers, among others.

Which chicken part goes best with which dish?

Breasts, thighs, and wings differ not only in shape. Their fat content, juiciness, and ideal cooking methods also vary.

Chicken breast fillet for quick meals

The chicken breast fillet is one of the most popular cuts of chicken. It has a tender texture, is easy to portion, and is perfect for simple dishes cooked in a pan or on the grill.

At Kreutzers, you’ll currently find a variety of breast options, including free-range chicken breast fillet, organic free-range chicken breast, and corn-fed chicken breast “Supreme.” The free-range chicken breast fillet, for example, is labeled as originating in Germany and fed a diet of corn and grains.

You can use chicken breast for dishes such as:

• Chicken stir-fry
• Curries and stir-fries
• Grilled chicken fillet
• Salads and bowls
• Wraps and sandwiches

Chicken Thighs, Pollo Fino, and Drumsticks

Those who prefer juicier chicken often opt for cuts from the thigh. Thanks to their skin and higher fat content, these cuts remain especially flavorful when cooked for longer periods.

Chicken thighs work very well when baked or grilled. Pollo Fino is a boneless chicken thigh, making it a convenient option if you want to prepare juicy, boneless thigh meat.

Drumsticks are the lower parts of the chicken thigh. They’re especially well-suited for BBQ and finger food because they’re easy to marinate and can be eaten right off the bone.

Chicken Wings for the Grill and BBQ

Chicken wings are among the classic BBQ cuts of chicken. Because they have skin and bones, they develop a different texture at high heat than lean breast meat.

You can dry-rub or marinate chicken wings before grilling and then glaze them with a sauce. Kreutzers offers its own selection of spices, including suitable rubs, salt, pepper, and poultry seasonings. This category currently also features special poultry and chicken seasonings.

Whole Chicken from the Oven or Grill

A whole chicken is ideal for dishes where the breast and thighs are cooked together. In the Kreutzers assortment, for example, you’ll find corn-fed chicken, organic free-range chicken, and a Label Rouge free-range black-feathered chicken.

According to the product information, the corn-fed chicken currently available comes from France and is fed a diet of corn and grains. Kreutzers recommends preparing it in the oven or on the grill.

Free-range, organic, or corn-fed chicken?

When buying chicken, you’ll come across various labels. They describe different characteristics and should not be used interchangeably.

“Free-range chicken” refers to a specific type of farming method. Kreutzers offers both free-range chicken parts and whole free-range chickens.

Organic chicken is additionally subject to the requirements of organic production. The current selection includes, among other items, organic free-range chicken breasts, organic free-range chicken thighs, and whole organic free-range chickens.

“Corn-fed chicken” refers to chickens whose diet includes a significant amount of corn. This can also be reflected in the characteristically more yellowish skin or meat color. The Kreutzers corn-fed chicken currently listed specifies corn and grains as part of the feed.

Which variety you prefer depends on the cut you want, the dish you’re preparing, and your personal taste.

How to Cook Chicken Properly

Chicken can be grilled, pan-fried, braised, or baked in the oven. The best method depends primarily on the cut.

Unlike a beef steak, chicken should be cooked all the way through. Especially with larger pieces and whole chickens, a meat thermometer helps you reliably check the doneness.

For marinades, dips, or BBQ glazes, you’ll also find sauces and broths at Kreutzers.

Chicken, Hühnchen, or Hühnerfleisch?

In everyday cooking, “chicken,” “chicken meat,” and “fowl” are often used interchangeably for similar dishes. For meat products, “chicken” or “chicken meat” is the common term used in stores.

“Chicken,” on the other hand, is the more general term for the animal. A rooster specifically refers to a male chicken and should therefore not simply be used as a synonym for chicken meat.

Ultimately, the specific cut is what matters most for your choice: chicken breast fillet behaves differently during cooking than thighs, wings, or a whole chicken.
