The study of a large food corporation “So is(s)t Deutschland” (How Germany eats) in 2011 found the following: “The de-structuring of everyday life continues to increase. People eat when they have time for it.” And then, in most cases, it has to be quick. Because of the short cooking times, chicken meat has inherently good properties for these altered eating habits. Life is made even easier for consumers with ready-to-cook or convenience products, which, as the name says, only have to be placed in the pan or put in the oven.
Our product range includes various seasoned and spiced products for barbeque grills, skewered inner fillet, grill joints made from thigh meat, escalopes made from breast fillet that are ready to eat within minutes, oven trays or unseasoned chicken pieces, and chicken cut and prepared for casseroles and fricassees. The main season in the preparation department is the barbeque season, from just before Easter until the end of September.
The products are seasoned in “tumblers”, which have a capacity of up to 600 kg. The liquid marinade is automatically metered and added according to the recipe and the batch is mixed within a few minutes. The recipes and dishes are developed in cooperation with our customers. Paprika, curry and herbs are the favourites in the popularity rankings.
Some special customer wishes still require manual work. Here, different chicken pieces are placed in a tray. The employees are trained to ensure a visually, sensorially and microbiologically perfect product is obtained at the end.
