Additional details
Whole chicken is one of the best ways to feed your family healthy, delicious meals without breaking the bank. Each bird includes all the parts—breasts, thighs, wings, drumsticks, and back—enough for a Sunday dinner or meal prepping for the week ahead.
The Most Economical Way to Buy Chicken
We've seen firsthand how buying whole transforms the way families eat. You get significantly more meat per dollar than individual parts, plus bones for mineral-rich stock. Use white meat for sandwiches, dark meat for tacos, and the carcass for broth. It's perfect for budget-conscious families who refuse to compromise on quality. Browse our pastured chicken collection for your family’s favorite cuts.
What You Get with a Whole Chicken
Each bird weighs 3.5-5 pounds and includes all parts: breasts, thighs, wings, drumsticks, and back. Comfortably feeds 4-6 people for a satisfying dinner. Note: organ meats and chicken feet sold separately.
From Ethically Raised Chickens
Our chickens are rotated on regenerative pastures seasonally, where they forage naturally. During the winter months, they have warm, safe shelters, with access to pasture. This natural lifestyle produces chicken with better flavor and more nutrients. We raise them without antibiotics, GMOs, or growth promotants, just the way chickens were meant to live.
Better Flavor from Ethical Farming
In our experience raising both conventional and ethically raised chickens, the difference is undeniable. Our birds develop superior muscle structure from outdoor activity, resulting in better texture and cleaner taste. Even the bones produce some of the most flavorful broth we've tasted, richer and more satisfying than conventional chicken. Try our Best of Chicken Box to stock up and save.
How to Cook a Whole Chicken
Roasting is straightforward: preheat to 425°F and cook for 1.5 hours until internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh. Try our Herb Butter Roasted Whole Chicken recipe—it's been a family favorite for years. You can also rotisserie for even browning, slow cook for tender fall-off-the-bone meat, smoke for deeper flavor, or spatchcock for faster cooking.
Whole Chicken vs. Chicken Parts: What's the Difference?
Whole chickens offer better value per pound and maximum versatility since you portion however you need. They require longer cooking time and basic carving skills, but the savings add up quickly. Individual parts like boneless chicken breast or ground chicken cook faster and need less prep, but cost more per pound. For families focused on value without sacrificing quality, whole chickens are the clear choice.
Versatility from Roasting to Stock-Making
We've always cooked this way on the farm: roast chicken for dinner, then transform leftovers all week. Shred meat for tacos and chicken salad. Simmer the picked-clean carcass with vegetables and herbs for bone broth, perfect for soups, cooking grains, or sipping on its own. It's practical, nose-to-tail cooking at its best.
High in Protein and Essential Nutrients
A 3-ounce serving provides 23 grams of protein plus B vitamins, selenium, and phosphorus. Dark meat offers more iron and zinc, while white meat is leaner. Our ethically raised chickens benefit from their varied outdoor diet of bugs, grass, and natural forage, which contributes to better nutrient density.
Perfect for Meal Prep and Batch Cooking
Cook once on Sunday, use all week. Portion and freeze cooked meat in meal-sized containers, save bones for stock, and you've made weeknight dinners infinitely easier. For busy families, this time-saving approach is invaluable and economical.
Clean, Ethical Chicken
We raise our chickens without antibiotics, growth promotants, or GMOs. They're rotated seasonally on regenerative pastures, with outdoor access to forage naturally. This approach respects the birds, supports soil health, and produces chicken that tastes the way chicken should.

Bruce's Take on Whole Chicken
"Our Whole Pasture-Raised Chicken offers a versatile, flavorful option for roasting, grilling, or slow cooking.

Raised on open pasture as seasons allow, this chicken reflects our commitment to quality and care in every bite." - Bruce (the 6th son)
