Chicken: An Exquisite Flavor

The art of cooking is fascinating. It always offers us new challenges, different flavors, and a variety of colors and aromas, as well as providing nutrition for our bodies, minds, and spirits. When we go into the kitchen, we want to prepare an appetizing, exquisite, but most of all, nutritious meal. There are many ingredients that may be included in exceptional menus; chicken is one of them.

This white meat is one of the most widely consumed around the world, being available and accessible everywhere, at any time, either fresh or frozen, and offered in a variety of ways (whole, cut, and boned chicken). Chicken allows us to choose between the different flavors of white or dark meat, the first being delicious for its delicate flavor. Its muscle is relatively low in fat, with less saturated fat, and less cholesterol than other meats, such as beef or pork. At the same time, it's a magnificent source of high quality  proteins, vitamins, and minerals.
