Although parts of a chicken's wings, thighs and breasts are commonly served as the main part of a meal, this new product from Micarna emphasizes portability by offering a [bite-sized diced poultry snack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilled-tender-bites). The low-fat, [high-protein snack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tyson-simple-ingredient-nuggets) is also noteworthy for its unique flavor, which includes cherries and honey. As such, it is positioned as a sweet and satisfying alternative to a variety of other high-sugar snacks.
