HORMEL® FLASH 180™ Sous Vide Chicken

In November 2022, Hormel Foods introduced a game-changer to the culinary world: the HORMEL^® FLASH 180™ Battered Sous Vide Chicken Breast. This innovative, fully-cooked product promises to revolutionize how you prepare and serve chicken, offering unmatched quality, convenience, and customization for your restaurant.

Unlike traditional methods that can cause the batter to separate during cooking, this unique batter in bag, sous vide cook process ensures the homestyle batter of the HORMEL® FLASH 180™ Battered Sous Vide Chicken Breast adheres perfectly, locking in moisture and providing a consistent and delicious bite every time. This product is ideal for commercial operators aiming to offer something special and sophisticated to their customers but without the hassle of cooking from raw.

One of the standout features of the HORMEL® FLASH 180™ Battered Sous Vide Chicken Breast is its versatility. With the wet batter, chefs looking to create unique, signature flavors have endless customization opportunities. Want a spicier option? Add your preferred hot sauce to the batter. For a thicker, crunchier exterior, simply dip the chicken in a dry dredge before frying. This flexibility enables you to offer a differentiated product that stands out in the crowded (and popular!) fried chicken sandwich market.

With HORMEL® FLASH 180™ Battered Sous Vide Chicken Breast, chefs can create crispy, craveable chicken like never before.

With this product, chefs can serve superior quality with a quick and easy prep time.

• Faster Prep/Cook Time: Achieve perfection in approximately 3 minutes or less. The sous vide process and fry-from-thawed prep ensures a speedy transition from the fryer to the plate.
• Exceptional Scratch-like Quality: Thanks to the in-bag homestyle batter and sous vide cooking, enjoy a delightfully crispy exterior and juicy, flavorful chicken breast. The light batter provides the perfect coating-to-chicken ratio.
• Customizable: The wet batter allows you to season or adjust the ingredients before frying, offering endless possibilities for unique menu items.
• Food Safety: This premium, fully cooked product reduces the risk and cross-contamination that can come with cooking chicken from raw.

The HORMEL® FLASH 180™ Battered Sous Vide Chicken Breast product joins the Hormel Foods line of Premium Prepared Proteins. These products are crafted using time and skill-intensive preparation methods like flame-searing, slow-smoking, and globally-inspired flavors, which are typically challenging for operators to execute. Hormel Foods takes these complex processes off your plate, delivering scratch-quality, fully-cooked proteins that are ready to heat and serve, saving you valuable time and effort in the kitchen.
