$15 fof 3KG of Drumsticks at Prime Range Fresh in Northwood, Christchurch
These are Tegel, the same as the Mad Butcher. They have a store in Sydenham as well.
at mad butcher they sell 3kg packs of Louisiana Style Chicken Portions for 24 bucks, taste nicer or just as nice as the tegal take outs
yeah those ones, the price shows 28.95, they are 23.95 in my local mad butcher,and u can get all thighs or all drumsticks
I find these were great when they first came out but I think they've cheaped out on them to get them to that ~$10 price where they sell.
Seeing as chicken wings and drumsticks are like $5/kg. And at a guessed 10% weight in the breading, to average out at $9.50/kg that breading is priced at $50/kg.
$4.50 for 900g of chicken, and $5 for 100g of breading.
At least chicken nuggets have a process other than, "dip in flavoured breadcrumbs"
And as someone who regularly flavours/crumbs/batters and deep fries (kara age, gyukatsu, tonkatsu and fish mostly) I can authoritatively say it's not hard to do it yourself.
I think you might overestimate the skills of the average Kiwi
These are maybe 60% chicken at most. I would expect the breading and oil is chealer than the chicken at industrial rates.
Hundred percent the breading has a lower cost price than the chicken, I was just pointing out that you're basically paying $50/kg for them to water down your chicken.
I didn't even think of the chicken percentage, I assumed it would just be breaded chicken but you're absolutely right.
Ingredient number 2, next to the paltry 66% chicken ($3 worth of chicken) is water.

So for another $6.50 you get breading at $50/kg, and $1.50 worth of water at $5/kg added to your 660g of chicken drumsticks.
Tried the tenders just one time. The coating was ok but the alleged chicken meat it was stuck to was like rubbery chicken luncheon meat similar to the kind of meat you get in cheap catering chicken nuggets. I thought for $10 for 500gm I'd be getting real pieces of chicken coated in spices, not 64% chicken and whatever the other 36% of the ingredients is made up of.
Yes, tenders are very average. I suspect due to the naturally low animal fat content
These have deff dropped in quality compared to how they used to be. (Guessing the regular sales is a clue)
