Thanks to the versatility of chicken, it’s hardly surprising that it’s makes up the highest percentage of all meats consumed in the U.S. according to the U.S.D.A.
Chicken is one of the best natural sources of protein. Along with the varied health benefits of eating chicken, the growth in the popularity of chicken is due in part to the fact that it is usually more affordable than other proteins and is readily available in a variety of cuts. The variety of cuts available and the mild flavor increases the versatility of chicken with just about any cuisine. The hype around the chicken sandwich wars, the popularity of chicken-centric restaurants in fast casual concepts and highlighted as a main protein on fine dining menus, and the affordable pricing at our local supermarkets will only continue to increase the number of times chicken is the shining star at mealtimes.
