Hand-cut
Our heritage · Est. 1983

Forty-three years of hand-cut.
Still family-run.

G&T Chickens started in 1983 as a single Melbourne shopfront — a wholesaler and retailer of chickens and schnitzels, hand-cut and crumbed fresh every morning. Forty-three years on, we're one of Australia's leading hand-cut schnitzel manufacturers, supplying professional kitchens across Victoria and nationally. The facilities have grown — the family, and the way we cut, haven't.

Our craft
Fresh daily · no shortcuts

Sourced & made with care

We source only the finest poultry from trusted suppliers, including Hazeldene's, Ingham's and Baiada, with RSPCA Approved, free-range and Halal-certified options available. Prepared in our fully HACCP-certified facility and delivered on our own refrigerated fleet, our products are handled with care from start to finish.

The hand-cut difference

We don't machine-slice.
Every fillet, cut by hand.

Machine-sliced

The industry shortcut
  • Torn, ragged edges and wasted off-cuts
  • Inconsistent weights & portion sizes
  • Crushed fibres — wetter, looser texture

Hand-cut by G&T

Every fillet, since 1983
  • Clean, even cuts with full plate coverage
  • Spot-on, consistent portion weights
  • Intact fibres — firmer bite, better yield
The range

Everything we make

Hand-cut schnitzels to whole birds, every breast & thigh cut, free-range, duck, portions, offal and eggs — 190 products across 13 categories, all cut fresh to your spec.
