Garlic Chicken Leg Chasseur is a high-impact, oven-ready chicken dish developed for butchers who want to add value to their fresh poultry range. Rooted in classic French flavours, it delivers comfort, richness, and strong visual appeal while remaining easy to produce in-store.

The dish is built around Verstegen Chasseur Sauce, which provides a deep, savoury base with balanced tomato and herb notes. The addition of mushrooms and shallots enhances texture and depth while helping keep the chicken moist during cooking. This creates a rich cooking liquor that customers expect from a premium Chasseur-style dish.

French-trimmed chicken legs give a clean, professional finish that stands out at the counter. Scoring down to the bone allows flavour to absorb more effectively and supports even cooking. This improves consistency and helps deliver a better eating experience at home.

The chicken is coated in Verstegen World Grill Spanish Harbour, adding warm paprika notes, gentle garlic, and subtle smokiness. The flavour is bold but controlled, allowing it to complement the Chasseur sauce rather than overpower it. This balance is key when selling a raw, oven-ready product.

Presentation plays a major role in this dish. Cherry tomatoes on the vine, whole garlic, and fresh herbs add colour and freshness. A light garnish of Verstegen Decoration Blend France completes the look and reinforces the French influence. In a smooth-wall foil tray, the dish looks generous, indulgent, and ready to cook.

For butchers, Garlic Chicken Leg Chasseur is practical, consistent, and easy to scale. It assembles quickly and holds well in the display. Most importantly, it offers customers a complete meal solution that feels premium, familiar, and worth trading up for, supported by trusted Verstegen products throughout.
