Avian

E tier

Avian is a recognised breed or type under Chicken, shaped around mild poultry with lean white and richer dark meat. Look for clear labelling, good handling, and—where relevant—grading or certification that matches how you plan to cook it. In the kitchen, choose Avian when you want that specific profile of Chicken rather than a generic lot. Cooks use it for roast and stock where character matters on the plate. Bone-in skin-on baste themselves; boneless cook faster—pull before dryness sets in.

History

Avian developed as a named variety of Chicken through regional selection and trade.
