It is the ideal product for restaurateurs and caterers seeking elegance and consistency for their gourmet creations. Culinary uses, preparation and storage: This ‘portion' format allows for great creativity in the kitchen: ► Cocktails and Buffets: Perfect served as ‘lollipops' – remove the bone, coat the thigh in breadcrumbs or with chopped hazelnuts, then deep-fry them for a fun and indulgent treat. ► Gourmet starters: Seared in lightly salted butter with a sprig of thyme, they make a magnificent accompaniment to a Puy lentil salad, a wild mushroom risotto or a creamy parsnip purée. ► Creative Cooking: Gently confited in flavoured duck fat, they develop an exceptionally tender texture, perfect for filling mini-pies or chicken pastillas. ► Preparation: For crispy skin and juicy meat, cook quickly over a high heat. Their small size requires close attention to prevent them from drying out. ► Storage: Fresh product to be stored between 0°C and +4°C. The 10-piece tray is designed for efficient stock management and impeccable hygiene within the butchery workshop.
