How-to Roast Best Tasting Chicken!

We raise chickens for flavor! We promise you'll notice the difference in taste between our birds and a supermarket chicken.  Because most commercial chicken is grown in less then 7 weeks, and we feel flavor only starts to develop after 10.  So we pasture-raise them for at least 12 weeks in large open-air paddocks. Each paddock gives the birds plenty of room (14,000 sqft for 200 birds!) where they scratch for roots and chase moths around.  These two factors; proper growing time, and natural lifestyle give our birds an outstanding flavor and texture. 

So this is how we enjoy a Slow-Grown Skinny Kitty Farms Chicken

  • Preheat Oven to 325
  • Generously coat bird with oil and herb mixture (we sell a great herb mix for these birds)
  • Use either a dutch oven with lid, or a roasting pan with a tin-foil tent over the bird- This will even the heat around it and keep the ends of the drumsticks from burning.
  • Begin cooking and check the internal temperature of the bird every 20-30 min.  This will give you an idea of how long it will take to cook, as well as give you a chance to turn the bird around so it cooks evenly.
  • You can boost the heat to 375 if it's going slowly
  • Once the internal temp reaches 140deg, remove the lid/ tent and crank the oven to 400.  This will finish off the cooking and crisp up the skin nicely!
  • Remove once the juices are no longer pink or the internal reaches a temp your comfortable with (we take it out around 145-150)
  • Let rest for at LEAST 20 min before carving up.
  • We recommend eating the breast meat that day and pulling the rest of the meat off the bones once it's cooled.  This gives you meat for the week, and a carcass to make stock with.
  • ENJOY!
