New Zealand Waitoa Accredited Free Range Chicken Thigh Boneless Skinless Fillet 400g (Frozen)

New Zealand Waitoa Free Range Chicken Thigh Boneless Skinless Fillet - 400g (Frozen)

The chicken cut that chefs prefer. Waitoa free-range chicken thigh fillet is naturally more flavourful and forgiving than breast — more fat means more tenderness, more juiciness, and far less risk of drying out. Boneless and skinless for convenience, and incredibly versatile across cuisines and cooking methods.

Waitoa accredited for quality and animal welfare. Free-range from New Zealand. Frozen at peak freshness in 400g packs.

Suggested Preparation

Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper, or marinate for extra flavour. Pan-fry over medium to medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes per side — let it develop colour before flipping. Target 74°C internal temperature. Rest for 3–5 minutes before serving. Thigh is very forgiving — it stays juicy even with a little extra heat, making it ideal for batch cooking and meal prep.

Perfect Wine Pairing

The delicate, savoury flavour of free-range chicken thigh pairs beautifully with an elegant Pinot Noir — the 2020 Devotus Aprentis Pinot Noir, available from our sister store My Wine Man — a refined Pinot with red cherry, earthy complexity, and silky tannins that complement the natural richness of free-range chicken thigh beautifully.
