Chicken - More Than Just Big Breast

Chicken breast is by far one of our most popular selling products.

It's easy to see why people gravitate towards this delicious, simple cut. Chicken breast is easy to cook, can be used for various meals, and almost always turns out moist and juicy.

But there are more parts to a chicken than just the big breast portion.

They have meaty dark thighs and delicious drumsticks. 

I want to take a minute to reintroduce the rest of the chicken...

Let's start with the wonderfully delicious and juicy drumsticks:

I'm not quite sure why drumsticks are not as popular. They are great finger food, are moist and juicy, and have fabulous dark meat. Drumsticks are a hit among kids since they love eating with their fingers!

We cooked up a batch of drumsticks the other day.  A super simple meal that made everyone happy. We were all fighting for the last drumstick!

Next are the chicken thighs:

If you are looking for a very satisfying meal, chicken thighs will fit the bill. Chicken thighs have an abundance of dark, juicy, flavorful meat on them by leaving the skin on your lock in all that moist and savory chicken flavor. 

Finally, you have the humble chicken wings:

Chicken wings have become very popular in the last decade. They are great finger food for game day or a family BBQ. 

All these cuts are the "forgotten" parts of the chicken. I argue that they are more favorable than chicken breast. And, these are significantly more economical than the popular chicken breast.

You are in luck. Right now, all these alternative cuts are nicely discounted as we make way for our new batch of chicken. It is the perfect opportunity to stock up a bit while giving some overlooked cuts of our premium pastured poultry a test drive. 

You won't be sorry!
