Best Chicken Cuts for Biryani Centers

Biryani is a highly popular B2B food category in Karachi. For biryani centers, catering kitchens, and event suppliers, selecting the right chicken cut is essential for customer satisfaction and portion control.

The Challenge of Commercial Deg Cooking

Commercial biryani is cooked in large metal pots (degs) under steam (dum) for extended periods. If the chicken pieces are too small or sliced incorrectly, the meat can break, leaving splintered bones in the rice.

10-Cut vs 12-Cut Styles

Standard retail chicken is often sliced into 16 or 18 pieces, which are too small for commercial pots. We recommend slicing a whole broiler chicken into 10 or 12 uniform pieces, ensuring the meat holds together well during the rice-mixing process.
