IGP Volailles de Janzé can be conserved for a few days in the refrigerator, wrapped into their purchasing paper and stored in the coldest compartment. It can be cooked in different ways depending on the cut chosen and is useful to prepare a lot of dishes. It can be roasted, stuffed or not, or roasted in slices in oven.
