Poussin Chicken, also known as spring chicken, is a young bird typically weighing around 400-500 grams. Originating from French cuisine, it is prized for its tender texture and delicate flavor. Often roasted, grilled, or spatchcocked, Poussin is a versatile protein that pairs well with herbs, spices, and vegetables. Nutritionally, it is a lean source of protein, offering essential amino acids while being relatively low in fat, especially if the skin is removed. It also provides key vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B6, niacin, and phosphorus, which support energy metabolism and bone health. However, preparation methods such as frying or heavy seasoning can add extra calories, fat, and sodium, reducing its health benefits. Opting for simple cooking techniques like baking or steaming can maintain its nutritional value. Poussin Chicken is ideal for those seeking a lighter, smaller poultry option that remains moist and flavorful.
