Poorly filleted
Scraggy bits of chicken, poorly filleted. All needed large amounts fat/bone cutting off. Waste of money paying extra for the poor preparation.
Short date
Have previously bought these before & found them to be good for requirements I was notified that the date on the chicken was shorter than advertised. I would have thought that there would have been a better dated stock in store. Needed for the bank holiday but with 2 days life freezing was the only option. Please send goods with advertised date to keep customers happy.
Lovely meaty thighs. Yes you've got to spend a few
Lovely meaty thighs. Yes you've got to spend a few minutes trimming little bits of fat off n feeling for small bits of bone still on but worth that 10 mins at the most. Marinated in garlic n sweet chilli sauce n barbecued. Delicious
Can be nice, but it makes you work for it
They can be quite nice, but only if you take the time to prep them properly. You have to carefully trim the excess fat and bits of bone before cooking. I've bought these a few times and each pack usually has around 5 tiny pieces of bone or more, usually found around where the joints were. You have to take the time to feel each thigh out properly for bones, and when you combine that with the time it takes to trim the fat, you're looking at around 20 - 30 mins extra prep time.
Our favourites. Never had a problem with them. So
Our favourites. Never had a problem with them. So versatile, too - we have them as mini roasts, or I dice them for curries, etc.
Makes lovely shawarma kebab
Get some shawarmer spice-mix which Tesco also sells in various forms,trim any dodgy bits off of these fillets and marinade for a good while or overnight.Put the whole 1kg on a spit and air-fry or BBQ and you have one very satisfying kebab that once thinly sliced and put in wraps with salad etc will easily feed about 6 and tastes lovely
Fat is healthy and tasty
This is chicken THIGH, it's supposed to be juicy and full of fat. It's the tastiest piece of chicken for a reason. Very good quality, the fat melts in the pressure cooker and then the chicken melts in your mouth afterwards. Mix the juices with some butter and thicken it and you have an amazing sauce to go with it. If you're scared of healthy animal fats it would be best to just get breast and coat it in the 0cal chemical oil sprays that are all the rage these days.
Great
Fine chicken
Definitely not as good as they once were!
There are far too many 'bits' of chicken in this pack. They used to be whole thighs. There also seems to be quite a lot of 'fatty' bits included.
Quality and presentation disappointing
Last two occasions I have ordered it has arrived looking like mush, a lot of fat still on it which had to be trimmed off The last pack I purchases was in date and on opening was rancid.
