Chicken

The chicken is the breeding gallinaceous bird (male or female) slaughtered with a maximum age of 20 weeks. Currently, chicken is raised intensively on farms, since, due to its great versatility, it is a very common food in all homes.

Chicken meat is made up of 70% water, is rich in protein and is very easy to digest, even more so than turkey. In addition, due to its versatility in the kitchen, it is a suitable food for weight control diets.
