How to prepare

Leg meat is arguably tastier than breast meat but requires more cooking time to tenderize. Diced, it is ideal to cook into sauces and stews - the liquid helps it to slow cook without drying out. Brown it in a pan for 4-5 mins (this adds to the flavour) before adding your stock or sauce. Simmer for at least 30 mins.

Storage

Keep refrigerated below 5°C. Once opened, use immediately for best quality. If not required immediately freeze as soon as possible and always within the use by date. Once frozen use within 1 month. Defrost in a fridge and use same day. Do not refreeze.
