Savor the buttery taste and texture of our delicious, award-winning organic chicken—the first chicken on the market ever to be certified by the USDA as free-range organic. You’ll never be able to eat grocery store chicken again!
Our chickens are also free-range. In order for poultry to be certified free-range, it must be raised in specific conditions: access to the outdoors and natural light, ability to forage naturally and a minimum of minimum of 1.5 square feet of space per bird when indoors. In addition, they must be raised to 8 weeks of age, as opposed to 5 or 6 weeks, which is standard for commercially raised chicken.
The result is a healthier, leaner bird with a distinctively rich flavor. Ariane always says that, “A happy chicken is a tasty chicken,” and this is proof on the plate. D’Artagnan organic chicken tastes the way chicken should--and the way it did before factory farming. The old-fashioned, robust flavor and moist meat means you’ll need little in the way of highly-spiced sauces or rubs. Instead we recommend that you enjoy the true flavor of the bird itself, with simple preparations.
Enjoy this fine organic chicken roasted with herbs, cut into pieces and fried, poached in broth, or however you like your chicken. When buying a whole chicken, remember to stash the bones away in the freezer after you’ve eaten the meat to make stock with later. Chicken stock is one of the secrets of great chefs—they use it in place of water in many recipes, as a base for sauces, and to impart umami to vegetable dishes. We are firm believers in using the whole animal—from beak to tail—and even getting the flavor and nutrition right out of the bones.
