product Description
Country chicken (skinless), also known as desi chicken, refers to native-breed chicken with the skin removed before cooking. Compared to commercial broiler chicken, country chicken is typically leaner, has firmer meat, a richer flavor, and a higher muscle density because the birds are generally more active. Skin removal further reduces the fat and calorie content while retaining high-quality protein.
