Aiguillettes de poulet

Aiguillettes de poulet are the long, thin chicken strips people reach for when they want something faster than cutting breast meat themselves. By our assessment, their real strength is shape: the narrow strips cook quickly, fit salads and stir-fries neatly, and take seasoning well. The downside is that slim poultry strips dry out fast if they are left on the heat too long, so they reward a little care more than the chunkier supermarket options. In practice they are a tidy, low-fuss piece of chicken that works in a pan, in a salad, or tucked into rice. They sit between whole chicken breast and fully processed breaded products, which makes them a flexible middle ground. The catalogue name is accurate and plain, and the product behaves exactly like that name suggests, right down to the quick pan cooking.
