Bulk Fryer Chickens, 5 packages (Whole, 2-3lbs each)
This is a bulk option for 5 fryer chickens for $125.
These birds are not of the conventional Cornish breed, and there are some key differences to note. Our heritage cross birds are usually smaller, producing smaller cuts of meat. They also have open pasture to roam, which keeps the chickens healthier and stronger, giving the meat more texture. We also go the extra mile to feed our birds an organic, local, diverse grain and bean blend, that we soak, ferment, and cook for our birds to increase digestion and nutrition absorption in our birds. You heard that right, we cook for our chickens!
Cooking Tips:
1. Don't overcook! This is especially important for quick cooking methods like oven roasting, pan frying, or grilling. Use a food thermometer and stop when the chicken reaching 165 degrees.
2. Adjust cooking time to the weight of your chicken! Recipe cooking time is based on the weight in the recipe, so double check with your weights because our chickens tend to be smaller than conventional birds.
3. Baste or cook with liquids! We can't recommend cooking methods like slow and pressure cooking! These liquid cooking methods always come out incredibly tender! If you're using a quick cooking method, make sure to baste with juices, broth or butter every few minutes to increase tenderness.
