Whole Poussin Chicken

Poussin is a young chicken prized for its tenderness, delicate flavor, and elegant presentation. Typically harvested at 4–6 weeks old, poussin is smaller and more tender than standard chicken, offering a refined texture and mild, clean taste that makes it a favorite in professional kitchens.

Each bird, weighing 15–18 ounces, features tender, skin-on meat that cooks quickly and evenly. The flavor is light and subtly sweet, allowing simple preparations—such as roasting with herbs, garlic, and butter—to shine. Its small size also makes it ideal for individual servings, creating a polished, restaurant-style presentation.

Raised by Palmetto Farms under natural, stress-free conditions, these poussins are fed a vegetable-based diet and fresh spring water, with no antibiotics or growth hormones. The result is a high-quality poultry product that delivers both consistency and exceptional eating quality, perfect for roasting, grilling, or braising.
