New Zealand Chicken - Poultry Distributors

Chicken or Poultry meat is consumed a lot in New Zealand, which are readily distributed in different product form (e.g. wings, legs, whole, take-ways, etc). Chicken is relatively cheap, suits a range of cooking styles (e.g. roasted, grilled, stir fry, casseroles, salad compliments), suits various cultural recipes (e.g Asian and Indian cuisine), and generally is a popular meal.
