02 - Chicken - Jumbo Chicken Braai Pack 2kg

A Jumbo Chicken Braai Pack typically refers to a large-sized package of chicken cuts that are specifically prepared for braai (barbecue) cooking. The pack usually contains a selection of various chicken pieces, often including a combination of the following:

1. Chicken Thighs: Thighs are darker meat with a slightly higher fat content, making them well-suited for braai cooking as they stay moist and flavorful on the grill.

2. Chicken Drumsticks: Drumsticks are the lower part of the chicken's leg, offering tender meat with a bone for added juiciness.

3. Chicken Wings: Chicken wings are the upper part of the chicken's wing, providing small, delicious portions that are perfect for braai.

4. Chicken Breast Fillets: Breast fillets are boneless and skinless cuts from the chest area, offering lean meat options for those who prefer white meat.

The exact contents of the Jumbo Chicken Braai Pack may vary depending on the supplier or retailer.

Preparing and Braai (Barbecue) Cooking:

To prepare and cook the Jumbo Chicken Braai Pack, you can follow these steps:

1. Marination: Before braaiing, you can marinate the chicken pieces to infuse them with flavour. Common marinade ingredients include oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, spices, and various sauces. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least an hour, or ideally, overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavours.

2. Preparation: Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. You can season the chicken with additional spices, salt, and pepper, according to your taste preferences.

3. Braai Cooking: Preheat your braai grill to medium-high heat. Place the chicken pieces on the grill and cook them, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and reach a safe internal temperature of 75°C (165°F) for all types of cuts. The cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the chicken pieces, but generally, it takes around 15 to 25 minutes for each piece.

4. Basting: To keep the chicken moist and enhance the flavour, you can baste the chicken with additional marinade or sauce during the cooking process.

5. Resting: After cooking, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring juicier and more tender chicken.

Serving:

Once the Jumbo Chicken Braai Pack is cooked and rested, you can serve the deliciously grilled chicken with a variety of side dishes, such as salads, grilled vegetables, garlic bread, or coleslaw.
