Geoff's Tips:
The key quality factors of a La Ionica chicken are:

1. Skin on the bird – it has texture and it’s firm whilst still moving freely around the meat itself.

2. Feather marks – Look for the marks where the feathers were on the bird, as this mark demonstrates the care in processing, and the bird has not been badly treated with overheat.

3. Shape of the bird – good muscle structure on a firm/plump bird.

4 . When purchasing chicken breast – look at the natural pink flesh. The texture of the raw flesh again is firm, and all the moisture stays within the meat.

I am delighted to be associated with La Ionica Chickens and look forward to working with them in the future to develop exciting new chicken meal ideas."

"I have traveled both Australia and the world extensively. My travels have given me the opportunity to become totally in touch with great ingredients, great chefs and great cooking.
My cooking has always been produce driven. When I first visited La Ionica Chickens, I was impressed by the care with which they process chickens and their commitment to producing a first class product.
