On August 28, 2024, the USA Egg & Poultry Export Association successfully organized the workshop “Cooking with American Chicken & Super Chef” at the Sheraton Saigon Hotel. This special program gathered food enthusiasts and talented chefs to introduce unique and nutritious dishes made with American chicken.
At the workshop, two renowned chefs, Norbert Ehrbar and Le Xuan Tam, showcased their exceptional cooking skills using American chicken, creating delicious, appealing, and extremely creative dishes. Attendees not only witnessed the chefs’ dexterity in each cooking step but also had the opportunity to taste these delectable creations.
The event took place in a cozy atmosphere. Guests happily exchanged recipes, cooking tips, and their passion for cooking, especially dishes made with chicken. This created an intimate and friendly environment. At the end of the event, each attendee received a special gift from American Chicken as a token of appreciation for their valuable presence.
American chicken was introduced as an ingredient that is not only delicious but also ensures food safety and is healthy. With its low-fat content, absence of carbohydrates, and high protein content, American chicken is the ideal choice for healthy and nutritious meals. Another advantage of American chicken is its versatility in preparation methods, including roasting, grilling, frying, microwave cooking, and air frying.
