Chicken Strips

Chicken strips are pieces of chicken meat, typically breast or thigh, that have been cut into strip shapes. They are often coated in batter or breadcrumbs and can be cooked by frying, baking, or grilling. Chicken strips are a popular convenience food and a versatile ingredient in various dishes.

Manufacturers use chicken strips as a primary protein source in ready meals, pizzas, and other convenience foods. Their convenient format and familiar flavour make them suitable for a wide range of products, including frozen meals, sandwiches, and appetisers.

Chicken strips are a source of protein and are not considered a food additive. The UK's Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) oversees regulations regarding meat products. Consumption of chicken, like other meats, contributes to dietary intake of protein and other nutrients. Concerns about processed meats often relate to high levels of salt, fat, or additives used in their preparation, rather than the chicken itself.
