Ground

Ground chicken is minced poultry meat—leaner than many pork or lamb minces, prone to dryness if overcooked, excellent for meatballs, dumplings, and lighter sauces. Fat percentage varies; dark-meat grind stays juicier. Season well, add moisture (onion, egg, crumbs, stock) for patties, and cook through without scorching. Brown hard for flavour bases. Keep cold and use promptly—poultry mince is perishable. Ideal for weeknight meatballs in tomato sauce.
