All of the Butcher's Choice of Atlanta, Inc. Poultry products are sold as fillets, not as whole birds, making cooking and preperation time very quick and easy for you! Our fillets can be baked, grilled, broiled and even pan fried.

General Cooking Guidelines:

• Grilling - Always preheat your grill or let the charcoals acquire a thin coating of white ash and red glow before putting meat on the grill. The chart below offers a general guide for grilling times. However, because conditions may vary (i.e., meat weight, heat, placement on grill, weather) cooking times will vary. You must keep a close eye on your foods as they cook. Remember, bone-in cuts require longer cooking time than boneless.
• Oven Broiling - Always preheat the oven (set oven control to "broil") and use a two-part broiler pan. Place the meat 2-3" away from the heat. Leave the oven door ajar while broiling.
• Recipes - Be sure to check out our Chicken Recipes page for some ultra delicious recipes that can be made with the Butcher's Choice of Atlanta, Inc. Poultry products.
• How to tell when "it's done" Internal temperature of safely cooked chicken should reach 165° F when measured with a meat thermometer!
