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 in the fridge below 5˚C. If you’re not going to eat it within a day or two, freeze your meat as soon as possible and always within the use by date. Once frozen, use within a month. Use on the day of defrosting.
