Product information

Pollo Fino – also known as boneless chicken thigh or chicken steak – is taken from the upper thigh and butterfly-cut. This ensures even cooking and keeps it juicy. Unlike chicken breast, thigh meat contains more intramuscular fat, which contributes to its flavor, texture, and fine marbling.

Our Pollo Fino chicken steaks come from German farms. They are hand-boned, trimmed, and prepared ready for cooking. The skin is intentionally left on, as it provides an intense aroma when frying or baking and protects the meat from drying out.

With a core temperature of 72–75 °C, the meat is perfectly cooked – juicy, yet safe. Typical portion size: 180–250 g per piece. Pollo Fino is available vacuum-packed or fresh and is kept refrigerated at 0–4 °C. Once opened, it should be used within 24 hours.

The Butcher & Cook Quality means: short supply chains, fair sourcing, and maximum freshness. Every piece is carefully processed so that you can achieve the best results at home or in a professional kitchen – effortlessly, but with expert craftsmanship.

Preparation and special features

Pollo Fino is a true all-rounder. It works in every kitchen – whether you're frying, baking, grilling, or cooking sous-vide. Thanks to its boneless structure and delicate skin, it's particularly forgiving: crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, even if the heat varies.

Pan: In a little oil over medium-high heat, fry the skin side for 5–6 minutes until golden brown, then turn and cook for another 6–8 minutes. Let it rest briefly to allow the juices to redistribute.

Open: 180°C fan-forced oven, 18–22 minutes on a rack or baking sheet. Ideal for even cooking without splattering. Optionally, roast in a pan beforehand for extra color.

Grill: Grill the skin side directly for 4–6 minutes, turn over and let it cook indirectly for another 4–6 minutes.

Air fryer: 180 °C, 15–18 minutes, turn once – ideal for quick, low-fat cooking.

Sous-Vide: Cook at 70 °C for about 60 minutes, then briefly fry in a hot pan – this results in a tender, buttery soft texture.

Mediterranean marinades with garlic, lemon, and rosemary are just as popular for seasoning as spicy BBQ rubs or fiery piri-piri variations. For particularly tender results, a Buttermilk marinade overnight. And for those who prefer a purist approach, simply add salt just before frying – for a clean, natural flavor.

Chicken steaks offer unlimited possibilities For culinary creativity. Serve them with grilled vegetables and a fresh salad for a healthy and delicious meal. Or enjoy them with creamy mashed potatoes and a hearty sauce for the ultimate comfort food.
