Where To Buy Whole Chicken

There you are again: standing slack-jawed and confused in the chicken section of the grocery store, squinting under fluorescent lights and shivering from the cold. How is it possible that there could be so many different kinds of chicken, each characterized by different incomprehensible words. Organic. Cage-free. Air-chilled. What does it all mean
At this point, we know that the best chickens are the ones that have the freedom to run around fields, eating worms and bugs and all that good stuff. They taste better, have more developed muscles, and a generally higher quality of life. If you can buy a top-notch whole chicken from your farmers market, specialty butcher, or trusted grocer, that's amazing. But they can get expensive, and sometimes you just want a damn chicken for dinner without all the work of hunting down the perfect bird.
That familiar USDA Organic logo means that the chicken you're looking at was fed organic feed and at least had access to the outdoors. That's cool! As a general rule, we like to keep chemicals out of our food as much as possible, so we seek out organic chicken whenever possible. That's the way nature wanted you to enjoy chicken. Probably.
Regardless of your religious beliefs, you've probably eaten kosher or halal meat, and when it comes to chicken, kosher and halal birds are pretty easy to come by. Kosher and halal chickens are raised, slaughtered, butchered, packaged, and prepared in accordance to Jewish and Islamic (respectively) culinary laws. If you aren't at a specifically kosher or halal butcher shop, the distinction will be clearly labeled on the package. What's important to remember here is that the words kosher and halal are not necessarily an indication of quality on their own. Some might be better than your average bird, some might be just whatever, so it's still a good idea to read the other words on the package.
Natural can mean whatever you want it to mean. There aren't any regulations on using the word, so it doesn't really tell you anything. The chicken was raised in nature Natural. The chicken was raised on a diet of organic, handmade pasta Natural. The chicken was born with a gift for basketball A natural. This means everything and nothing at the same time.
In the best case scenario, you're going to walk away from the grocery store with an organic, antibiotic-free, air-chilled, free-range chicken. But if your grocery store isn't packing that kind of heat, at the very least, you should buy air-chilled chicken. That's an absolute must for us in the wide world of chicken. Oh, and your whole chicken should clock in at between three and four pounds. That size gives you the best chance of success for a tender, flavorful, manageable bird. And that's what life's all about, right
Food, particularly meat, has become more expensive, thanks to the pandemic. Supply chain issues, packing plant outbreaks, it just adds up over time. Buying turkey pieces for stock last week, I experienced some sticker shock. Seriously, $4 per pound for turkey necks For a couple dollars more than the price of a few necks or two wings, I bought a chicken. That episode reminded me home cooks everywhere need to learn how to cut up a whole chicken.
Leave the breast on the bone and bake either in a microwave or toaster oven. Quickly pan-sear or stir-fry a boneless breast for dinner. Thighs are great for braising, the legs are great in air fryers. I collect wings and freeze them, then thaw out when I have enough for a sports game snack. The remaining meat can be used in a seemingly endless parade of dishes: salads, pasta, burritos, casseroles sandwiches and so on, virtually any recipe that calls for cooked chicken.
As Rodgers notes, you not only get the eight chicken pieces, but all the bones, the back and the giblets, too. Given that popular brands of stock average about $2.50 per quart and remnant bones from just one chicken can yield up to two quarts, one chicken can provide about five bucks worth of stock.
The whole chicken is a great source of protein and contains high levels of niacin, riboflavin, thiamin, vitamin B6, folate, selenium, phosphorus, zinc, and potassium. Whole chickens are often roasted or fried, then cut up into individual parts such as the breast (the white meat on the underside of the chicken), the leg (the meaty part of the thigh), and the wing (the meaty part of the wing).
Note: The above guidelines are only guardrails. Ovens and birds vary, and so to achieve a perfectly cooked whole chicken, check the internal temperature of the bird intermittently when the oven timer reaches the above time frames.
You can defrost the chicken in the fridge or use a leakproof plastic bag and a bowl of cold water. To thaw the chicken in the fridge, keep chicken in its original Crowd Cow packaging, and place the chicken into the refrigerator - letting it thaw overnight. If you choose to thaw using cold water, keep the chicken in its original vacuum-sealed packaging and place in a bowl of cold water.

So every now and again I like to pick up an item that seemingly no one is talking about. This is a product I had to do a bit more research into to see if there is a bit of a difference. From everything I've put together, most commercial chickens are raised quite quickly. Heirloom on the other hand supposedly tastes more like the way chicken did a long time ago (before even I was born in the 1980s). They are smaller and have spent their lives in a pasture.
For $2.99 per pound, this is much cheaper than other heirloom chicken I've seen referenced. The bummer here is that it doesn't reference what type of breed it might be. If you are interested in learning more about breeds, you can check out this article by Modern Farmer.
I kept things pretty standard at 350F. This chicken weighed just about 3 lbs so that was about an hour in the oven with be stopping at 45 minutes to brush the fat that had rendered onto the skin. At the end of the hour and a quick temperature check, there was a very necessary 10-minute rest.
Prepping this was pretty standard: I dried it with a paper towel and generously salted and peppered the skin. I also used a whole lemon, halved, and put that in the cavity to put the bird more upright and will lend a mild citrus flavor, and ensure more even heat distribution.
Otherwise, what came out of the oven was moist and had more chicken flavor than regular chicken. Yes, it still tastes like chicken. The breast meat had a much more pronounced flavor than regular chicken cutlets which I oftentimes feel are pretty close to flavorless.
Would I buy this again Yes, I would buy Trader Joe's All Natural Heirloom Whole Chicken again. Even though there was a slight premium it was worth it. Just don't expect those huge chicken breasts, this is a more evenly proportioned bird.
Just cooked this last night and it was sooo good. I stuffed the cavity of 3.5 lb chicken with lemon, garlic and shallot. Buttered, salted and peppered entire skin. Cooked for 15 min at 425, reduced heat to 350 and cooked for 1 hr 10 minutes. It was amazing!!! Very moist and really rich flavor. Move over Costco chicken! Knowing this is a humanely raised chicken factors in as well. This is a definite repeat dinner.
At Crescent Foods, we see the process through from Farm to Fork. It all starts where our birds are raised humanely and free to roam on these farms. They are antibiotic free and are fed an all vegetarian diet free from animal by-products. Processed and packaged using state of the art technology, we bring quality products to your table.
NOTE: Always feed under supervision. To minimize inherent risk, feed in a location where multiple pets will not be in competition for food, causing gulping/swallowing without chewing. Holding one end while your pet learns to chew on the other end can help reduce gulping risk when first introducing this to your pet.
All our chickens are now air-chilled which means NO added water or whatsoever, in fact the birds lose on average 5% of it water weight during the chilling process, this means you get nothing but tasty, Tayeb chickens and more meat for your dollar spent. 59ce067264
