A whole corn-fed poussin from Les Landes — a young chicken slaughtered at 28 days, weighing approximately 500g, and designed to serve one person generously. The corn-fed diet gives the poussin its distinctive golden-yellow skin and a richer, slightly sweeter flavour than standard poussin. The flesh is tender and delicate, with a lighter, cleaner character than a mature chicken, but with enough substance and flavour to stand as a main course in its own right. Poussin is one of the most useful formats in French poultry. It is the right size for an individual portion — one whole bird per person — which makes it ideal for a dinner party where you want each guest to have their own. It spatchcocks easily, roasts quickly, and presents well on the plate. Because the bird is young, the bones are small and the meat-to-bone ratio is generous for its size. The Landes region in south-west France is one of the country's most established poultry-producing areas, with a long tradition of corn-fed production. The maize-rich diet is what produces the golden colour — this is not cosmetic; it is a direct indicator of diet quality. FINE & WILD blast freezes each poussin to −30°C to preserve freshness. Producer: Landes, south-west France Ingredients: Whole poussin (corn-fed) Storage: Store frozen. Defrost in the refrigerator for 12–24 hours before cooking. Once defrosted, use within 2 days.
