What are 3 Joint Chicken Wings?
Our Bulk Buy Chicken Wings are a full “3 Joint” wing cut from the breast. approx 90 grams each. There are 3 sections to a chicken wing; the 1st section is the Drumette, the thickest piece, 2nd is the flat middle section, with slightly less meat on it, 3rd is the wing Tip which has only a little meat on it. These are cut the same way as our regular 1 Kilo packs of Meaty Chicken Wings.
How do we make Chicken Wings?
Before cutting we select the medium to large whole chicken crowns to get the 90 gram portions. The chicken is chilled down to a temperature of 1-2°c before any cutting is done to reduce any loss of natural juices & keep the meat as fresh as possible. Our expert butchers carefully make a cut through the first joint where the Wings are attached to the Breasts. The Wings then have any remaining feathers removed & are checked for bruising & discoloration.

How do we pack our Chicken Wings?
We Loose pack our Wings in 3 Kilo sealed Recyclable pouches with approximately 30 portions per pack.
The Chicken Wings are cut & Blast Frozen as Individual Quick Frozen pieces (IQF) before being loosely bagged into clear recyclable bags. The quick freezing keeps the flavor, moisture & texture of the Wings for 2 years when stored at -18°c. You can enjoy the “just made taste” straight from the freezer.
To create safe tasty Wings you need a clean, temperature controlled & fast production facility.
All our production facilities are BRCGS / IFS approved that make any of our meat cuts or products.

Provenance of our Chicken.
Sourcing all our chicken locally to the production plant enables us to have access to good quality chicken with sustainable supplies. Having built up relationships with local chicken farmers, the chickens supplied very consistent in size & quality, & able to meet our demands for higher volumes when needed.
All the local farms that supply production meet the highest European standards as quality & safety are our main priorities when buying our chicken. The chickens are checked & monitored 24 hours a day in temperature-controlled environments. The Chicken Sheds are very large & well ventilated so that the chickens have room to move about. With a controlled diet the chickens grow to healthy sized birds that produce a good yield.
The process from farm to finished product is always very humane & efficient.
Are Chicken Wings nutritious?
The select A Grade Chicken we use has NO ADDED WATER, natural chicken is a great provider of Minerals, Vitamins & Protein. The juicy Wings have not too much fat in the meat but, do still have the skin. The skin is fairly high in fats & also has a good content of unsaturated fats. The unsaturated fats are good to reduce cholesterol & lower blood pressure. These Wings are more nutritious than standard smaller supermarket 3 Joint whole wings.
