Chicken Thighs are a dark meat cut from the upper section of the leg, between the breast and the drumstick. Owing to the presence of connective tissue, they are tougher than white meat when raw, but because of the higher fat content, they become particularly tender as the fat breaks down when cooking. They are generally considered the most flavorful cut of chicken.
Our organic chickens come from a small organic farming collective in the Shenandoah Valley where they’re fed an all-vegetarian, GMO-free blend of corn and soybean meal. In addition to their feed, they’re free to roam during the day where they can forage for bugs, grubs, worms, and tasty greens in their pasture. They have constant access to outdoor grassy pastures with ample shade. And, of course, they never receive antibiotics, steroids or hormones.
