Like our blue foot chickens, poulet rouge chickens (aka redbro cou nu chicken) are a venerable heritage breed renowned for their flavor and their thin skin. Heritage poultry breeds are slower growing than conventional chicken, but the result is far more delicious.
This breed has been recently imported to the US by a few very selective breeders who raise their chickens in the traditional French style (grain-fed, free range) to stringent Label Rouge standards. They are antibiotic, growth hormone, and growth stimulant free and have been raised on small family farms and air chilled for better flavor.
Applications: Although it can be substituted for conventional chicken in any dish, the Poulet Rouge is prized for its wonderful flavor, so milder preparations are best. We recommend cooking it simply, either roasted whole or fabricated and then pan-roasted, with butter, herbs, and maybe some fresh wild mushrooms.
Recommended Cooking Temps: Although Poulet Rouge birds are less likely to carry disease than conventional chicken, they should still be cooked to an internal temperature of 165…just to be safe.
Origin: North Carolina
