Chicken items are the most popular menus on most caterers’ menus and for good reason:

• Chicken can be used in virtually any kind of menu
• Chicken is very popular—most people like chicken
• Chicken takes on flavors well—and yet has a great taste of its own
• Chicken transports well
• Chicken can be baked, grilled, fried or poached
