French (Airline) Chicken Breast
The airline chicken breast is the cut professional chefs reach for when a standard boneless breast will not do. It is a skin-on, bone-in chicken breast with part of the drumette (the first joint of the wing) still attached, while the rest of the breast remains boneless. The result is a cut that stays juicier during cooking, develops a beautifully crispy skin, and plates with the kind of elegance you typically only see in restaurants.
Also known as a Frenched chicken breast, Statler chicken, or chicken suprême, this specialty cut has been a staple of fine dining kitchens for nearly a century. The attached bone slows heat transfer to keep the meat moist, while the skin protects and bastes the breast as it roasts. It is one of the most forgiving chicken cuts to cook at home, and one of the most impressive to serve.
New to this cut? Read our complete guide: What Is Airline Chicken? The Chef's Cut You Should Be Cooking. It covers the history behind the name, why chefs prefer it, and a simple pan-seared recipe with lemon and fresh herbs.
Each cut is prepared fresh to order by our butchers after you place it, so final weights may vary slightly as part of our commitment to quality and real, made-to-order butchery.
