What is Poussin? Understanding the Delicacy

Poussin, or spring chicken, is a young chicken that weighs between 700g and 800g. It is smaller and more tender than regular chicken. Its light meat absorbs flavours well, making it popular with chefs and home cooks.

This premium chicken is common in fine dining because it stays juicy and tender when roasted or grilled. Its mild flavour works well with herbs, citrus, and rich marinades, offering many cooking options. Poussin also has less fat than older chickens, making it a healthier choice for lean protein.

Why Choose Whole Poussin Over Regular Chicken?

Poussin is different from regular chicken because it has a delicate texture and cooks faster. Here are some reasons to include Whole Poussin in your meals:

• Tenderness: The young meat is very soft and juicy.
• Flavour Absorption: Its fine grain lets marinades and spices soak in better.
• Single Servings: One Poussin is perfect for one person, adding elegance to dinner.
• Cooking Options: You can roast, grill, bake, or stew Whole Poussin, making it versatile for many cuisines.
• Lower Fat: It’s a healthier choice than regular chicken, providing lean protein with a great taste.
