About this Cut
Our chickens are sourced from sustainable family farms that allow the birds to move freely and grow healthy. They contain no hormones and no antibiotics, which translates into a healthier chicken and higher quality protein. Our chicken breasts are air chilled which sears in its natural juices, tenderizing the meat and eliminates the need for chilled chlorinated water that most producers use. Each pack contains two 8oz breasts.
Cooking Method: Ideal for grilling, baking, or pan-frying. Season as desired and cook on medium heat until juices run clear.
Recommended Temperature: 165°F (74°C) for safety.
Free-range Chicken
All of our chicken is raised 100% free range. Free-range chicken is raised with the freedom to roam outdoors, which not only enhances the quality of life for the poultry but also benefits the flavor and nutritional value of the meat. These chickens typically have access to a more natural diet, resulting in a richer, more robust flavor compared to conventionally raised birds. The increased activity levels help develop firmer, leaner meat with a better texture. Additionally, free-range farming practices are often associated with higher animal welfare standards. Choosing free-range chicken supports sustainable farming methods, providing a healthier and more environmentally friendly option.
Antibiotic and Hormone-Free Chicken
All of our chickens are raised without the use of any hormones or antibiotics. This practice ensures that the meat is as natural as possible, reducing consumer exposure to these substances. The absence of antibiotics in the raising of these animals helps prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, a significant benefit for public health. Additionally, hormone-free meat often has better taste and quality. By choosing antibiotic and hormone-free meat, consumers support more natural animal husbandry practices and contribute to a healthier environment, while also enjoying safer and more flavorful meat.
Air-Chilled Chicken
All of our chicken is air-chilled, which refers to a method where individual birds are cooled using cold air, instead of the traditional water chilling. This process minimizes the absorption of water, preventing dilution of the chicken’s natural flavor and resulting in a firmer, more textured meat. Air chilling also enhances the skin’s ability to crisp up when cooked, making it ideal for roasting or frying. Additionally, because there’s no water absorption, the natural flavor of the chicken is more pronounced and the meat is typically more tender. Air-chilled poultry is also considered more hygienic and environmentally friendly, as it reduces water usage and potential cross-contamination in the chilling process.
