Corn Fed Chicken – FAQs: 

What is corn fed chicken? 

Corn fed chickens are primarily raised on a diet of gains, especially corn, which gives them high calorie nutrition. The diet leads to a slightly yellow hue in the chicken’s flesh and enhances its flavour, making it richer compared to conventionally fed chickens. The corn-rich diet gives a greater depth of flavour to the meat, making it ideal for various cooking methods such as smoking, barbecuing, or oven roasting. At The Village Butchers, we source our corn-fed chickens from trusted local producers to ensure high quality and safety standards. Read our blog for more information on what corn fed chicken is.

How to cook corn fed chicken? 

For the best flavour and tenderness, roasting is an ideal method for cooking corn-fed chicken. Preheat your oven to 190°C and season the chicken with salt, pepper, and herbs. Roast for about 20 minutes per 500g, basting occasionally to keep the meat moist. For extra crispiness, rub the skin with butter or oil before roasting. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 75°C before serving. Let it rest for 10 minutes before carving to retain juices. For more tips, check out our perfect roast chicken guide.

Is corn fed chicken healthier? 

Corn-fed chicken is high in protein and essential nutrients, making it a nutritious choice for a balanced diet. Its high-corn diet contributes to a naturally tender texture and slightly richer flavour. However, in terms of overall nutritional value, it is comparable to regular chicken, with similar levels of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The primary difference lies in its taste, texture, and vibrant yellow colour, rather than significant health benefits. 

How should I store corn-fed chicken? 

To maintain freshness, store raw corn-fed chicken in the refrigerator at 0-4°C and cook it within 2-3 days. If you need to store it for a longer period, freeze it in an airtight container or vacuum-sealed bag to prevent freezer burn. Properly stored, frozen corn-fed chicken can last for up to 6 months while preserving its flavour and texture. When ready to use, thaw it in the fridge overnight for safe and even defrosting.

Does corn-fed chicken taste different from regular chicken? 

Yes, corn-fed chicken has a richer, slightly sweeter flavour compared to regular chicken. The natural yellow hue of the meat comes from the corn-based diet, which also enhances its buttery taste and juicier texture. This makes it a popular choice for roasting, grilling, and gourmet recipes, as it delivers a more tender and flavourful eating experience.
