A money saver.
A great way to buy chicken if you're on a strict budget! I'm feeding 3 adults and bought these so I could pick them out as and when needed and made a honey and mustard chicken dish with them as my test meal. I defrosted them and they did seem to shrink a bit and even more so after cooking them in the sauce, but just one more small breast extra out of the pack would still see me save money at the end of the day. Cooked fine and would definitely purchase again.
Water
I would say these were at least 50% water, after defrosting some, there was more water than meat.
Excellent for families.
Lots of chicken breast pieces and cooks beautifully. Lovely chicken.
Hard
Don't cook very well hard.
Pumped full of water
Reasonable quality, but what you get for your 1kg is probably 20% water. I measured close to 150ml of water which seeps from the meat when you start cooking. You need to remove it or compensate, else your dishes will be more runny than you expected.
My go to frozen chicken
I love this frozen chicken breast, I have never had a problem with gristle or tough pieces, always soft and moist. Maybe the other customers are over cooking it? Mine have always been decent sizes too, sometimes I have had to cut them in half to get the right portion sizes. Yes it does have a high water content but this makes it beautifully moist when it comes out the oven for a dinner or it works great in curry and stir fry. The only problem I have had with it is it is not good for battering or breading due to its high water content so I would go for fresh chicken for KFC style fried chicken or homemade Chinese (chicken balls, s&p chicken etc).
Horrible white stiff on the chicken,nasty.
I purchased some before and they were fine,my recent purchase was disgusting! Horrible white stuff on the chicken,i mean lots of horrible white stuff,it's a hit and miss.I don't advise buying them as i got 2 bags and last time 2 bags.I purchased Tesco own chicken many times,which were always fine. Something is wrong here.Quality control is pretty bad.
good value
good value....youll get 4 people reasonably fed with one bag
excellent
excellent quality great value
Great value
Really good value for money. Nice big chicken breast pieces, easy to use. It says cook from frozen , but I take out what I need and defrost to make a curry. Cheaper option to chilled chicken but just as nice.
