What it is

Ground chicken is chicken meat that has been finely chopped or minced. It is made from whole chickens, including the meat and skin, which are then ground together. It is a versatile ingredient used in a variety of dishes.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use ground chicken as a protein source in many foods, offering a leaner alternative to ground beef. It is commonly found in products like sausages, burgers, meatballs, and frozen appetizers. Its mild flavor allows it to absorb other seasonings well.

Health notes

Ground chicken is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein and other nutrients. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated chicken meat. No specific health concerns are associated with the consumption of ground chicken at typical intake levels.
