What is Air-Chilling?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In chicken processing, birds must be quicky brought below 40\u00b0F after feather removal. There are two methods to do this: cold water bath; and air-chilling. The industry standard is immersing the chicken in a cold-water bath. With this method, some of that water is absorbed into the chicken, compromising its flavor and texture.<\/p>\n

In contrast, air-chilled chickens are individually chilled with air \u2013 instead of water \u2013 over the course of about three hours. The birds are moved through temperature-controlled chambers where purified air slowly cools them, maintaining tenderness and avoiding waterlog.<\/p>\n

Why Air-Chilled Chicken Tastes Better<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Air-chilled\u00a0chicken\u00a0<\/a>is the key to tastier meat! The slower, air-chilling process is more effective at tenderizing and providing a more natural chicken flavor. It\u2019s also safer, with less chance of bacteria spread.<\/p>\n

When you purchase air-chilled chicken, you\u2019re getting 100% meat. No extra water that occurs with cold-water processing, compromising the flavors and texture of the meat. Air-chilling delivers the pure, natural flavor and juiciness of chicken as nature intended.<\/p>\n
