What is Chicken Chunks?

Chunks of chicken are usually cut from white breast meat, as this meat is the thickest and most plentiful on the bird. Chicken chunks are usually served on a thin wooden skewer, such as on kebabs, though can be served in a variety of ways and in many dishes. The inside of the meat is off white, the outside is usually a cream color, or golden brown, with dark brown or black stripes from the grill. These darker stripes add a crunch and extra flavor to this mild tasting and tender meat. The meat may be seasoned with herbs, spices and sauces.
