Chicken & Black Bean Tapas Tray
Chicken & Black Bean Tapas Tray is a bold, flavour-led raw display that adds impact and value to the butcher’s counter. It offers strong visual appeal, global flavours and a premium finish, all with minimal preparation time. This makes it ideal for customers who want something different but still easy to cook at home.
Chicken inner fillets form the base of the dish. They deliver consistent size, quick cooking and wide consumer appeal. The fillets are coated in Verstegen World Grill Korean and Verstegen World Grill Ginger, Lemon & Chilli. These oil-based World Grills cling well to the meat and give excellent coverage. They create vibrant colour and help the product stand out in the raw display.
The Korean World Grill brings savoury depth and gentle sweetness. The Ginger, Lemon & Chilli World Grill adds freshness, citrus notes and light heat. Together, they create a balanced flavour profile that feels modern but remains familiar to customers.
The tray sits on a generous base of Verstegen Black Bean Sauce. This sauce adds contrast, richness and umami depth. Its dark, glossy finish enhances the overall presentation and lifts the chicken visually in the counter. When cooked, it delivers a restaurant-style eating experience that encourages repeat purchase.
A simple garnish of sesame seeds and sliced spring onion completes the tray. These ingredients add texture and freshness. They also give a clear visual cue to the Asian-inspired flavour profile.
For butchers, the Chicken & Black Bean Tapas Tray is practical and profitable. It is quick to assemble and holds well in the display. The format suits tapas sharing, midweek meals or barbecue occasions. It also supports trade-up by offering a premium, handcrafted look. Overall, this tray showcases creativity while highlighting the versatility
