Collection: Pasture-Raised Chicken

Pasture-raised chicken from Pamplin Poultry, moved onto fresh grass and raised without antibiotics. Whole birds, breasts, thighs, leg quarters, wings, ground chicken and bone broth.

It is not the same bird as the supermarket one

A pastured chicken grows slower and moves more, so the meat is firmer and the flavor is stronger. The legs and thighs in particular taste like something, where a commodity bird tends to taste like whatever you put on it.

Because it is firmer, it wants slightly gentler cooking than you may be used to. Roast a whole bird a little lower and a little longer, and rest it properly.

Buy the whole bird if you can

It is the best value in the case, it gives you two meals and a carcass, and that carcass makes stock that sets to jelly in the fridge.
