An industry study of 1,000 Argentines in 2024 reports a near‑universal preference, with regular weekly consumption at home and beyond.

  • CEPA’s third‑edition qual‑quant study, disseminated by Cincap, found 99% of respondents named milanesa as the most consumed chicken preparation.
  • At home, 86% reported preparing it, outpacing roast chicken at 72% as the next most mentioned option.
  • Consumption is frequent: 52% eat it one to three times per week, 14% four to six times, and 5% nearly every day.
  • Outside the home, about 39% choose chicken dishes, and milanesa tops preferences in restaurants and takeout settings.
  • The research segments consumers into four profiles—familieros (17%), prácticos (22%), cocineros simples (21%) and ahorradores (19%)—and highlights versatility across cooking methods and breadings.
