You've probably heard the term “value-added” across the food industry—but what does it mean for poultry?

Value-added poultry products undergo additional preparation or processing beyond the basic product. Depending on the application, that can include products that are portioned, seasoned, marinated, breaded, cooked, or otherwise prepared to offer specific features for foodservice, retail, or other customers.

Understanding industry terminology helps us better understand the many forms poultry products can take before reaching their final application.

Thanksgiving may put turkey in the spotlight, but its culinary possibilities extend well beyond the holiday season.

From sandwiches and salads to burgers, entrées, and creative foodservice applications, turkey can take on many different roles across the menu. Its year-round potential gives chefs and operators plenty of room to explore beyond the traditional holiday centerpiece.

Consider this turkey's friendly reminder: November doesn't get to have all the fun. 🦃

USAPEEC Taiwan sponsored the U.S. Chicken Western Cuisine Challenge at the 2026 Taiwan Culinary Arts Challenge in Taipei, Oct. 2–5. As Taiwan’s only Worldchefs-certified international competition, the four-day event drew over 134,000 total visitors and 700 competitors.

The dedicated U.S. chicken category challenged 60 professional chefs and culinary students from across Asia to create Western-style main courses utilizing U.S. boneless chicken thighs. Wu Yan-Ling of Jinwen University of Science and Technology earned top honors for an innovative menu blending local flavors with Western techniques. Alongside the competition, USAPEEC’s tasting booth reached approximately 45,000 visitors and distributed 1,700 fresh U.S. chicken samples.

Combining high-level professional competition with broad consumer engagement strengthens market presence and advances USAPEEC’s mission to expand global demand for U.S. poultry.

In professional kitchens, portioning is about more than what goes on the plate. Product size and portion specifications can influence preparation planning, cooking times, presentation, inventory management, and overall kitchen operations.

For foodservice professionals working with poultry, selecting products that fit a specific application can help make day-to-day ex*****on more efficient—from prep to service.

Poultry processing can generate materials beyond the primary food products we commonly recognize. Depending on how they are handled and processed, some of these materials can be utilized in other applications rather than simply being discarded.

Finding productive uses for these resources can help create additional value from poultry production and is one example of how the industry continues to explore more efficient use of available resources.

Breast, thighs, drumsticks, wings—each chicken cut brings its own characteristics to the kitchen.

Differences in size, fat content, bone structure, and texture can influence how a cut responds to grilling, roasting, braising, frying, and other preparation methods. Understanding those differences helps chefs and food professionals choose the right cut for the result they want to achieve.

Knowing the product is part of mastering the preparation.

Packaging may be the first thing we see, but its role goes far beyond appearance.

Throughout the poultry supply chain, packaging can help protect products during handling and transportation, provide important product information, and support efficient storage and distribution. Different applications may require different packaging solutions depending on the product and its destination.

It’s an everyday part of the industry with an important job to do.
