Back in the Capital! Meadow Vale Foods are Exhibiting at IFE 2024!

Introducing Brand New Sizzling Chargrilled Chicken

Published on 9th January 2024

The next generation of added value frozen poultry is here! Introducing the 100% natural, charcoal grilled Sizzling Chicken range by Meadow Vale Foods.

Bursting with flavour, featuring six new lines of succulent hand cut, deboned and flattened chargrilled fillets, thighs and skewers, it's the ultimate uncoated chicken option for menus across the food industry.

The succulent pieces of breast fillet and thigh are marinated in a variety of authentic herbs and spices, before going through a unique chargrill process over mangrove and coconut shell to provide the ultimate smoky finish. The individually quick-frozen pieces are then number counted into a range of vibrant, fully printed foil bags that lock in the flavour, ready to be reheated straight from the freezer to a happy customer’s plate in minutes!

From the upmarket restaurant to the high street takeaway, it’s never been easier for chefs to create the ultimate plate filler without the need to prepare with fresh ingredients.

Less fats, less salts and packed with protein, here’s an in depth look into the three cuts on offer from this groundbreaking new chicken range…

Why Stock Frozen Chargrilled Chicken?

Seriously tasty, without the calories!

The Sizzling range allows chefs to grow sales by creating a balanced menu with a seriously tasty uncoated option that appeals to wider audiences.

Grilled chicken is growing in popularity, particularly for those with special dietary requirements and the health conscious. As a result of calorie counts being introduced on UK menus last year, it is now estimated that 2 in 3 adults consider health implications as a key driver of choice when eating out.*

The uncoated profile of the Sizzling range offers a healthier option and a lower calorie count without compromising on flavour, meaning opportunities increase for a wider menu offering and a broadened interest from customers.

Multiple menu ideas

Simply put, this is the best frozen chargrilled chicken on the market.

The Sizzling Original and Piri Piri Chicken Fillets truly offer a product for all purposes in food service, from the ultimate chicken burger to the sliced chicken salads, rice, noodles or loaded fries.

Meadow Vale is the one stop shop for those seeking the perfect grilled chicken burger option, with each piece offering a consistent large bun coverage due to the 150g hand-butterflied portion sizes, with a rustic home-made feel. The flavour is all in the chicken, simply add any salads, sauces and garnishes to create a vibrant tower of burger brilliance.

Alternatively, the fillets can be sliced into visually appealing strips or bite size pieces and added to a wide variety of great tasting dishes from a loaded chicken fries or nachos, to salads, rice boxes, wraps, noodles and many more!

Looking for something even more succulent? With three authentic flavours to choose from including, Original, Shawarma and Piri Piri, the Sizzling Chicken thighs offer a perfect fit for a wide variety of dishes straight from the freezer, from the wholesome Shawarma wrap to the fiery Mexican Chicken Rice dish.

Shawarma and Piri Piri flavours are synonymous with chicken thighs, trending on high streets across Britain in some of the largest high street food outlets, including German Doner Kebab and _Nandos. _

Or why not try both together, on a stick!

Marinated for over 20 hours, the Sizzling Original Chicken Skewers feature a succulent mix of thigh and breast fillet, with a perfectly balanced flavour including garlic, cumin, paprika, chilli, oregano and coriander. On or off the stick, chefs are presented with a versatile product with multiple menu applications, from the popular Chicken Gyros to the perfect handheld tapas.

Quality and convenience

The Sizzling Chicken range brings all the fresh appeal required without the risks of using raw chicken and consistently provides a melt-in-the-mouth experience.

One of the best qualities of chicken thighs is that it is very difficult to overcook them. Whether chefs choose to air fry, griddle or BBQ the Sizzling Chicken Thighs, the crispy skin and succulent centre will hold out if the cooking time goes over by several minutes, meaning chefs can be rest assured of a quality product in busy service periods.

Traditional shawarma uses large skewers of fresh meat marinated for up to 3 hours and rotated on a vertical grill, but this often comes with lots of waste and risks of raw cuts. Using the Sizzling range of flavoured chicken thighs allows chefs to achieve the same succulent results by simply taking what is needed from the freezer, with all the difficult preparation done on our side.

Furthermore, using just one of our Sizzling Chicken Skewers can create the perfect kebab, wrap or gyros in minutes by reheating straight from the freezer in minutes via the air fryer, griddle, merry chef or oven. Once cooked, the chicken easily slips off the uncharred bamboo sticks straight on to the plate, providing the ultimate fresh chargrilled experience.

Finally, each vibrant foil bag locks in the flavour for all of our Sizzling Chicken options. Chefs can experience a 100% yield with zero waste by simply taking what is needed from the freezer over a long shelf-life period, without compromising the quality, taste or fresh appeal of the chicken.

The Sizzling Original and Piri Piri Chicken Fillets truly offer a product for all purposes in food service, from the ultimate chicken burger to the sliced chicken salad, rice box, noodles or pizza topper.

Serving up has never been easier. Chefs can simply take what is needed straight from the freezer and quickly reheat to serve up a high-quality fresh appeal product. The fillets are suitable to air fry, merry chef, griddle or oven cook in as little as 4 minutes and no longer than 15 minutes to create the same great tasting results, no matter of cooking method.

Two flavours fit all!

Meadow Vale is now the one stop shop for those seeking the perfect grilled chicken fillet option.

The Sizzling Chargrilled Fillets offer a consistent large bun coverage due to the 150g hand-butterflied portion sizes, that also provide a rustic home-made feel. The flavour is all in the chicken… chefs can simply add salads, sauces and garnishes to create a vibrant tower of burger brilliance.

With two fantastic flavours to choose from, including Original which combines a unique blend of herbs and spices and a smoky chargrilled finish, along with Piri Piri providing a kick of spice and a citrusy aftertaste, your customers coming back for more!

The Sizzling fillets can be sliced into visually appealing strips or bite size pieces and added to a wide variety of great tasting dishes from a loaded chicken fries or nachos, to salads, rice boxes, wraps, noodles and many more!

Big flavour, low calorie count

Grilled chicken is growing in popularity, particularly for those with special dietary requirements and the health conscious, meaning chefs have more opportunity appeal to wider audiences and grow sales by creating a balanced menu.

However, cooking from fresh can cause many issues for chefs. Grilled chicken fillets are one of the most challenging meats to get right because they are so lean, meaning they often turn out dry, rubbery, and bland.

The uncoated profile offers a healthier option and a lower calorie count without compromising on flavour, meaning opportunities increase for a wider menu offering and a broadened interest from customers.
