  • The renowned chef and Avianza, the Spanish Interprofessional Association of Poultry Meat, have joined forces to carry out a cooking workshop to highlight the benefits of grilled poultry meat
  • This master class took place on July 7 at the SUA by Triciclo restaurant and had some exceptional students, including journalists and gastronomy and lifestyle bloggers.
  • Goya, a specialist in embers, developed the workshop addressing the entire process to make a good poultry barbecue: from the preparation, the type of cooking and temperatures of the embers, to the different cuts and carvings, to finish with the plating and the different culinary combinations. 

Madrid, July 8, 2022.- Summer is the barbecue season par excellence. Family and friends gather around the embers to enjoy gastronomy and outdoor leisure. With the aim of continuing this tradition in the healthiest way possible, Avianza, the Spanish Interprofessional association of poultry meat, and the grill expert chef Javier Goya, wanted to join together to highlight the benefits of poultry barbecue.

For this, Goya has given a masterclass in his restaurant SUA by Triciclo, aimed mainly at journalists and bloggers specialized in lifestyle and gastronomy, where he has revealed his secrets to making a top-level poultry barbecue. For more than an hour, the chef addressed the entire process: from preparation, the type of cooking and temperatures of the grill, to the different cuts and carvings, to finish with the plating and the different culinary combinations. 

The menu that the attendees prepared and tasted, made by SUA by Triciclo with Javier Goya, consisted of Free-range chicken wings stuffed with pickled mussels and grilled; grilled smoked turkey salad, anchovy emulsion, old mustard and aged cheese and J.grilled quail erk.

After this presentation as a workshop, the association will publish a downloadable and completely free ebook with the history of grilled chicken and different and tasty barbecue poultry recipes. Anyone interested in obtaining this digital book will soon be able to find it on the Avianza website.  

“With these actions and with the collaboration of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and Nutrition of Spain, at Avianza we want to continue promoting consumption in our country. Spanish poultry meat is healthy and of high quality, which is why we have to continue spreading its benefits with actions like this," said Jordi Montfort, general secretary of Avianza, and added that "Spain is, in addition, one of the main producers of poultry meat in Europe, where more than 750 million birds of Spanish origin are consumed each year. We have a growing sector that we have to be proud of.”
