Chicken

Why is there more actual Chicken Meat on my Indian Takeaways, Tandoori Chicken Wings, than on the whole leg of an Asda/Sainsbury's Pre-Cooked Chicken?

Re: Chicken

Bigger chickens ?

We found buying larger birds we get a larger percentage of meat to bone than buying slightly smaller ones.

The most delicious chickens with the most meat I've ever had is from Costco.

Yes I know what you mean Spittie. A good takeaway doesn't skimp on chicken.

Re: Chicken

I worked on several Chinese takeaways` as an apprentice i saw several strange looking carcasses ready to be cooked always seemed larger than the chickens i was used to seeing.

I believe they can 'Grow' the chicken breasts now without having to have the actual chicken at all. I gave up eating chickens a while ago, except those free range birds we get when we stay down the country for a few days. There's a lot of Frankenstein type stuff going on with todays chickens.

I'm very particular about chicken after having campylobacter a few years ago. Lost three weeks of my life.

No need to worry with a Takeaway, the masala stuff like Domestos, kills 99.9% of all germs dead.

Re: Chicken

Exactly Nom. I was thinking much the same.

Be afraid Spitty - be very afraid.....

Ooh Myra, I had that once too. It's like dying but not quite isn't it. Never felt so ill in me life.

No way Mups, my Takeaway keeps me regular, no need for Dulcoease.
