Natural Airline Chicken Breasts (2pk)

Airline chicken breast is a cut comprising of a boneless chicken breast with the drumette attached. This elegant cut has the skin on breast with the first wing joint and tenderloin attached, otherwise boneless. The cut is also known as a frenched breast. Our chicken is a free run product that is grown in the Pacific Northwest. The birds are Air-Chilled. Air-Chilled birds do not have the opportunity to absorb any of the water that the traditional water bath methods employ, which can be as much as 8% of the chicken’s body weight. Because of this you will find that our chicken is a cleaner product and the meat will be much more tender and flavorful than any other.

The airline chicken breast is also known as “statler chicken”, a name which originated from the Boston Hotel Statler, built in 1927 by E.M. Statler. A chicken dish stating it is “Statler” simply means it is a breast of chicken with the drumette still attached. This presentation of the chicken breast is common in Europe.
