Nutritional values

Stubenkücken owe their name to their breeding: in Stuben. The meat is not only super tender and wonderfully juicy. It is also low-fat and easily digestible and scores with lots of protein. The body needs this nutrient not only for the development of skin, organs, muscles and co. Besides their structural function, proteins also have a regulating function. They are responsible for the regulation of hormones and enzymes, for the transport of substances, for immune defence and for blood clotting.

In the past, poussins only came onto the market in spring. Today, they are available all year round and can be bought in delicatessens, well-stocked supermarkets or from the butcher. Alternatively, you can also prepare the dish with chicken thighs.
