Mince

Chicken mince is ground chicken under Commonwealth naming—lean, adaptable, used in dumplings, burgers (with added fat or moisture), and sauces. Perishable; cook soon after grinding or thawing. Mix gently with aromatics for balls and patties; brown for ragu-style sauces. Avoid dry, overpacked burgers. Dark-meat mince eats better than pure breast mince. Season assertively—the mild base needs help.
