Chicken producer Bell & Evans launched a line of uncooked, frozen chicken meatballs this fall. Flavors include Parmesan Breaded with Mozzarella, Buffalo Seasoned and a traditional, savory Chicken Meatball. All threevarieties are made from a blend of dark meat chicken and skin for full flavor and are uncooked and nitrogen frozen to lock in freshness and natural juices.
In 2018, the producer introduced the first boneless, skin-on whole chicken leg to the retail market. Earlier this year, Bon Appétit featured Bell & Evans’ new Spatchcock cut of chicken in an article, “Bell & Evans Just Made All Our Spatchcocking Dreams Come True.”
Bell & Evans also has a new breaded boneless, skinless chicken thigh.
“While commodity producers are now adding plant proteins and other overly processed additives to their chicken in order to sell it, Bell & Evans is doing what we do best—innovating and producing superior chicken products that consumers want to buy,” said Scott Sechler, owner of Fredericksburg, Pennsylvania-based Bell & Evans.
Bell & Evans Parmesan Breaded Chicken Meatballs contain a blend of mozzarella cheese, garlic and Italian seasonings with a light Parmesan breading. The Buffalo Seasoned Chicken Meatballs deliver a mild-to-medium heat and are gluten free. The traditional Chicken Meatballs are also gluten free and contain a blend of high-quality organic seasonings.
“We’ve been conducting our own taste tests every time there’s a visitor and the response is always, ‘wow, these are excellent,’” said Sechler. “We can’t wait to hear the feedback from our retail partners and customers.”
