Chicken pieces in a golden, crispy coating have always been extremely popular – especially among caterers. Why choose crispy chicken strips? Why is this such a profitable dish? Find out how to make money by serving chicken pieces in Holly Powder’s ready-made chicken coating.
Chicken pieces – simple and quick to prepare
You can prepare breaded chicken pieces quickly and easily. All you need is chicken from a reliable supplier and Holly Powder’s chicken coating . Thanks to the ready-to-use catering solutions, preparing breaded chicken is extremely easy and produces a truly satisfying result. The chicken inside is juicy and the coating is golden and perfectly crispy.
Chicken fillet – no waste
To prepare chicken nuggets you need a chicken fillet. Boneless chicken fillet offers many advantages. It takes very little time to prepare. There is no need to cut out the bones or fibres, and the excess fat will melt away during frying. You don’t have to spend time removing the skin. Not only will you cut them up effortlessly, but you will also use all of them, reducing “waste”. Chicken fillet is the part of the chicken thanks to which caterers have by far the least losses.
How to slice the chicken pieces?
Cutting up the chicken properly is not only very simple, but above all extremely important. How we carry out this task largely determines the end result. What should you bear in mind when cutting up chicken? First of all, always choose a medium-sized fillet, i.e. about 250 g – this guarantees the high quality of your dish. You can cut about 10 even strips from it. Remember to slice the meat across the fibres.
Even pieces of chicken
It’s important that the chicken pieces are cut into even strips. Pieces that are too large may not cook through, pieces that are too small may fry faster and thus be less juicy. Cutting the fillet into equal portions is simple – aim for pieces weighing around 25-30g each. This weight will ensure that all the chicken pieces are properly fried. The short preparation time is a huge advantage of chicken dishes. The recommended frying time for chicken pieces this size is just 3.5 minutes.
Juicy chicken pieces coated in Holly Powder’s coating and marinade
Properly cut pieces of chicken should be marinated first. Use Holly Powder’s marinade for this. There are two types of marinade in our offer – spicy and mild. When placed in the prepared marinade, the pieces need to be massaged properly. It will make the meat juicy and the coating will fray perfectly during frying. Massage for at least 5 minutes to ensure the marinade is fully absorbed by the meat.
Cost-effective breaded chicken pieces
Juiciness of the meat and obtaining the right coating texture during frying are not all the benefits of marinating chicken correctly. This method also increases the volume of each piece by around 20%! So for every kilogram of meat, we get 1,200 grams of finished product. Pure profit!
A simple recipe to achieve a golden colour and a texture resembling cornflakes
It is worth mentioning that during frying, the coating also increases in volume – its texture starts to resemble frayed, golden flakes. When filling the frying basket, it is worth remembering not to place the chicken too close together – this ensures even frying and an evenly frayed texture. If the chicken pieces served by a certain well-known American fast food chain make you hungry, you can be sure that the effect of the Holly Powder coating will trigger the same effect – your guests will not be able to ignore these golden and crispy pieces of meat.
Small pieces of coated chicken as a base for many dishes
Chicken pieces for dinner? Absolutely! You can serve chicken nuggets successfully as a main dish – preferably in a bucket with a side of French fries and a sauce – or use them to prepare many other popular dishes. They are perfect as a base for a burger, wrap, hot dog or sandwiches. Thanks to how well the coating sticks to the meat, it is easy to cut it into even smaller pieces to add to salads or tortillas or to serve to the youngest customers of your restaurant.
