Whole-muscle crispy chicken made from real chicken cuts

Vleki supplies crispy and breaded chicken products made from natural whole-muscle chicken cuts.

These products are cut from real chicken meat and then seasoned, coated or breaded to create a crispy product with a recognisable meat structure, natural bite and attractive appearance.

They are developed for professional foodservice, fried chicken concepts, restaurants, caterers, wholesalers, franchise groups, snack concepts and professional kitchens.

Natural chicken cuts for crispy applications

Whole muscle instead of formed chicken

For some applications, the natural structure of the meat is an important part of the eating experience.

Whole-muscle chicken products retain the visible structure and natural fibres of the original chicken cut.

This creates a different bite and appearance from a formed or reconstituted poultry product.

For restaurants, fried chicken concepts, premium sandwiches and foodservice applications, that natural appearance can make an important difference.

Made for fried chicken, snacks, meals and professional kitchens

Natural crispy chicken can be used in a wide variety of professional food concepts.

Typical applications include: fried chicken menus, chicken burgers, wraps, sandwiches, salads, bowls, loaded fries, finger food, sharing dishes, snack menus, catering, buffets and complete restaurant meals.

The same chicken cut can create a very different eating experience depending on the coating, seasoning, portion size and preparation method.

The coating changes the experience

The chicken provides the natural bite. The coating creates the first impression.

A light breading can keep the chicken itself at the centre of the product. A rough crispy coating creates more crunch and a stronger visual identity.

Seasoning can range from mild and neutral to spicy, smoky, garlic, herb or other flavour profiles, depending on the individual product and manufacturing possibilities.

The objective is not simply to add as much coating as possible. It is to find the right balance between crispy outside and juicy chicken inside.

For fried chicken restaurants and franchise concepts

Whole-muscle crispy chicken is particularly suitable for businesses where the chicken itself is a visible part of the concept.

This includes fried chicken restaurants, burger and sandwich concepts, franchise chains, street-food operators, snack bars, food trucks, caterers and restaurant groups.

The product can be selected around the menu: a larger fillet for a burger, a tenderloin for finger food, strips for wraps and bowls, or smaller pieces for sharing and snack applications.

For wholesalers and foodservice distributors

Vleki also supplies natural crispy chicken products to wholesalers and foodservice distributors.

A broad range allows customers to serve different types of end users: restaurants, fried chicken concepts, caterers, sandwich shops, professional kitchens and franchise organisations.

Depending on current stock, different products can be combined on mixed pallets.

For many stocked references, new products can also be tested from limited quantities.

Test a new chicken concept without taking unnecessary stock

A new premium chicken product should be easy to test.

Depending on availability, many stocked Vleki products can be ordered from as little as one case and combined with other references on a mixed pallet.

This makes it easier for a restaurant, wholesaler, foodservice distributor or franchise concept to introduce something new without immediately committing to large quantities.

Test the product. Serve it. Listen to your customers. And increase the volume when the concept works.

From a natural chicken cut to your own concept

Sometimes the right product already exists in our assortment.

Sometimes a different cut, weight, coating, seasoning or portion size is enough to create the product you need.

And sometimes a customer has a completely new idea.

For suitable volumes, Vleki can discuss tailor-made product development with specialised manufacturers and experienced product developers.

Tell us how the chicken will be served, what kind of bite you want, how crispy the coating should be, how the product will be prepared and what portion size you need.

That is where development starts.

Natural poultry experience since 1994

Vleki has worked with professional poultry products since 1994.

We have learned that a good product must do more than look attractive in a photograph.

It needs to perform consistently in the professional kitchen. The chicken should remain juicy. The coating should perform. The portion size should be consistent. And the product should still look and taste right when it reaches the customer.

Customers are still served directly by the owner and his son. When specific technical knowledge is required, questions can be discussed with experienced product developers and specialised production partners.
