Whole Chickens, ready to ORDER NOW, will be available for pick-up after Nov. 5.
If a whole chicken is too much for you for one meal, put the leftovers in a zip-loc freezer bag and have ready-made cooked chicken for a fast meal prep later!
Get the MOST out of your wonderful chicken: Use the leftover bones and odd parts for making bone stock, that gut-healing, body-nourishing, flavor-enhancing miracle food! Seriously!! Soup, rice, and beans NEVER tasted so good before using BONE STOCK!! Watch for the blog post that details how to make it, and what to do with it!
Did you know that you can roast a whole frozen chicken, straight from the freezer starting midday, and have it for supper? Brown it breast-side down at 500 degrees for 20 min. Turn it over and roast another 15-20 min. Season, cover, and continue to roast at 200 for 3-4 hours, depending on size and how many are in your roaster. I often do two at a time, because they fit in the roaster pictured in the photo, and because I can have roasted chicken for supper, cooked chicken ready for another meal like Chicken Enchiladas, and still more for the freezer for another time. I love leftovers, don't you?!
Alternatively, I thaw the chicken out and cut it apart to use the dark meat separately from the breast. Just keep the unused parts in a covered container in the fridge until you're ready to use them. Click here for a picture and recipe of how you can fit all of the dark pieces on a baking sheet and perfectly roast them in half an hour!
Our chickens are fed non-GMO corn rations out on pasture.
