The blue poulet (aka blue foot chickens or poulet bleu) has been bred in Canada & the US to closely match the world-famous poulet de bresse chickens. They have a much stronger flavor than conventional chicken, with striking blue feet and a red comb. French poulets are in very heavy demand in France, leading to very few being available for export.
An American tradition has been created using farming practices heavily influenced by those used with the famous French birds. The result is meat approaching the quality of the original at a significantly reduced cost. These whole blue poulets are shipped frozen and (as is traditional with poulet de bresse) with the head and blue feet on.
Applications: Roast a whole poulet as you would a whole normal chicken (albeit a much more flavorful one), cooking just to an internal temp of 165 degrees. Of course, poulets can also be fabricated (carved) into breasts, legs, thighs, and wings prior to cooking, so that the different parts can be used in different dishes. Traditional French recipes pair poulet meat with foie gras, mushrooms, and truffles, but it can be used in combination with traditional chicken flavors. Be sure to save the bones for making chicken stock!
