Perdue Oven Ready Products
As a bzzagent, I really wasn't sure about trying the Perdue Oven Ready Products because I am VERY picky about meat. I actually raise chickens, so I thought I would be hard on this product...and I was. First the good: Having the chicken already cleaned, seasoned and in a bag was awesome. No prep or icky chicken juice everywhere. The chicken was juicy, tender and easy to serve. I read about the Perdue brand and was happy with the "What We Believe" company standards. Now the not so good: The chicken was too expensive; I would not have paid that much for the convenience of prewashed. After two full hours, I stuck my meat thermometer through the slit in the bag and it was well above the 180 degree mark, so I removed it from the oven. The skin stuck to the bag and pulled away from the chicken. I carved off some pieces and it had good seasoning and was juicy and tender. However, I thought it was stringy and almost fake or "pressed and formed" chicken tasting. I also noticed that near the bone it was not done all the way. It is very difficult to test it while in the bag and I did cook it for longer than the recommended time because of this. I give this product three stars out of five...very easy and a good idea, but I did not like the taste of the chicken.
