Hard Chicken

Description

Hard chicken, also known as “old layer” or “native chicken” in many parts of Nigeria, is a firm, flavorful type of poultry meat loved for its rich taste and chewy texture. Unlike regular broiler chickens, hard chicken comes from mature birds that have been allowed to grow naturally, resulting in leaner meat packed with flavor and nutrients.

Features:

• Rich Traditional Flavor: Hard chicken has a deeper, more pronounced taste, perfect for traditional African dishes like pepper soup, jollof rice, stew, and native soups.

• Firm & Meaty Texture: Its chewy consistency makes it ideal for slow-cooked meals, where it absorbs spices and seasonings beautifully.

• Naturally Raised: Often sourced from free-range or semi-free-range environments, ensuring a healthier and more natural poultry option.

• Nutritious & Protein-Rich: A great source of lean protein, essential vitamins, and minerals.

Packaging Options:

Available in whole or cut pieces, fresh, frozen, or smoked—depending on your cooking needs. Each pack is thoroughly cleaned and hygienically packed to retain freshness and quality.

Why Choose Hard Chicken:

• Perfect for Traditional Recipes: Adds authenticity and richness to local dishes like nkwobi, ofe nsala (white soup), and banga soup.

• Longer Cooking, Better Flavor: The longer cooking time helps draw out its full flavor, making it a favorite for hearty meals.

• Healthier Choice: Lower fat content compared to soft (broiler) chicken, making it a healthier alternative.

Treat yourself and your family to the unmistakable taste of home with hard chicken—an essential ingredient in Nigerian kitchens and beyond!
