Poultry

Chicken has become one of Australia’s favourite foods because it is wholesome, versatile and easy to prepare. White meat chicken is one of the lowest fat protein sources, and leg meat, while a little higher in fat, adds rich flavour to any meal.

At West Hobart Gourmet Meats, our chickens are locally grown by Nichols. All Nichols chicken is free range, as are their Christmas turkeys. All Nichols poultry is produced without the use of growth hormones or antibiotics.

We also carry a range of turkey, duck and quail products.

Chicken

• Whole roasting chicken

  Roast chicken is incredibly versatile. The range of possible stuffings and basting ingredients is limited only by your imagination.

  Our whole fresh chickens are meaty and flavoursome.

• Boned, rolled and seasoned chicken

  A popular Christmas option. Seasonings are either traditional, ham and cranberry, or fruit (or supply your own if you wish).

• Chicken breast fillets

  Low in fat and quick and easy to prepare, breast fillets are one of the most popular chicken cuts. Skin on or skin off. Add extra flavour with marinades and sauces. Also great as a satisfying addition to a salad.

• Chicken thigh fillets

  A little more fat and flavour than breast meat.

• Chicken Marylands

  A meaty, quick-cooking cut combining both breast and thigh meat.

• Chicken wings and drumsticks

  Great for an economical barbecue option.

• Chicken mince

  Ideal for pies, pasties, meatballs and burgers.

• Smoked whole chicken and smoked chicken fillet

  These are all smoked on our premises without the addition of chemicals. Taste the difference.

• Chef-prepared chicken range:

  Chicken Bocconcini Wings – plain or honey-soy

  Chicken schnitzels

  Chicken Kiev – Classic (garlic butter); Mediterranean (olives, fetta, sundried tomato); Mushroom, bacon and cheese; Spinach and Brie; or Seafood (prawns and garlic butter).

Turkey

• Whole roasting turkey

  A traditional Christmas favourite. Our whole fresh turkeys are produced locally by Nichols and are available all year round (pre-order).

• Tiny turkeys

  These are 2-3kg in size (about the size of a large chicken).

• Turkey breast roast (buffé)

  All white turkey breast meat.

• Boned, rolled and seasoned turkeys

  All meat, and easy to carve and serve. Prepared by us to make your life easier. Seasonings are either traditional, ham and cranberry, or fruit (or supply your own if you wish).

Duck

• Whole ducks

  A popular Christmas option and also available throughout the year.

Quail

• Whole quail (pack of nine)

  If you love to entertain at home, you’ll appreciate our packs of whole fresh quail for a real gourmet treat.

We have never had finer ingredients – your products are simply the best.
