Triton frozen meat — chicken leg and mince for home cooking
The TM «Triton» catalog has frozen meat for home cooking: chicken leg (rear quarter) frozen and chicken mince frozen. This is raw material for daily cooking — cutlets, meatballs, baking, stewing, broths. Shock freezing preserves the flavor and structure of the flesh. Long storage period — up to 6 months in the freezer. Delivery by Nova Poshta to any city in Ukraine with temperature control.
Frozen meat is a separate Triton category for those who love to cook at home by «grandmother's» recipes. Unlike ready boiled-smoked poultry, this is raw material: you choose how to cook it — bake in the oven, stew with vegetables, pass through a meat grinder for homemade dumplings. Raw materials from a verified Ukrainian manufacturer, with shock freezing at -25…-35 °C immediately after processing. This is a guarantee that with proper defrosting, the meat will be just as tasty as fresh.
Types of frozen meat in the catalog
Two key items — for daily home cooking.
Chicken leg (rear quarter) frozen
Chicken leg (rear quarter) frozen MX is the lower part of the chicken: thigh + drumstick together, with bone and skin. A large, meaty portion of 350–500 g each. Classic raw material for oven baking with vegetables, stewing with potatoes, preparing rich chicken broths. Fattier and juicier than breast, with a rich flavor.

Universal raw material for homemade cutlets, meatballs in tomato sauce, dumplings, cabbage rolls, stuffed peppers. Less calorific than pork, with high protein content. Convenient packaging 500–1000 g — for 2–3 preparations.

Frequently asked questions about frozen meat

The catalog has two key items: chicken leg (rear quarter) frozen MX is a large meaty part of the chicken, ideal for baking, stewing, as the base for broth. Chicken mince frozen MX (code 394) is a ready-to-use mince for cutlets, meatballs, dumplings, stuffing.

What does «rear quarter» of chicken mean and what is it good for?
The rear quarter of chicken is the lower part of the bird: thigh + drumstick with bone and skin, together. This is a fattier, meatier part than the breast, with a rich flavor and juicy texture when cooked. Perfectly suitable for baking in the oven with spices, stewing with vegetables, preparing rich chicken broths. Usually, the rear quarter costs less than separately bought thighs and drumsticks, so this is also an economical option.
Can frozen mince be used without defrosting?
It depends on the dish. For most dishes (cutlets, meatballs, dumplings), it's better to defrost the mince in the refrigerator for 8–12 hours. For some stews or soups, you can add it frozen — in this case, increase the cooking time by 20–30%. It is categorically not recommended to defrost mince at room temperature or in hot water — this can lead to bacteriological spoilage.
How to properly defrost chicken leg?
The best way is gradually in the refrigerator at +2…+6 °C for 8–12 hours (for one leg) or 12–18 hours (for a package of several). A faster way is in cold salted water (1 tablespoon of salt per liter) for 2–3 hours in packaged form. Do not use a microwave (for complete defrosting) — the meat becomes dry. Categorically do not defrost at room temperature — this spoils the product.
How long does frozen meat keep?
In the freezer at -18 °C — up to 6 months without loss of quality. At -25 °C and below — up to 9 months. The exact production date and expiration date are indicated on the package. Do not refreeze after defrosting — this destroys the meat structure and is associated with the risk of bacteriological spoilage. Defrost only the amount needed for one cooking.
What dishes can be cooked from Triton chicken mince?
Chicken mince is a universal base for many dishes: classic chicken cutlets, meatballs in tomato sauce, homemade dumplings, cabbage rolls, stuffed peppers, pâté, tortilla, lasagna, bolognese for pasta.
