Our chicken backs will last about 1 year in the freezer. You can slow thaw in the fridge or quick thaw in a bowl of cold water. Once thawed, it will last 1-2 days in the fridge.

Roast the backs until they are golden brown and fragrant, then put in a pot with aromatics, cover with water, and boil for up to 24 hours. For an easier process, make your stock in an Instant Pot or slow cooker!

Our chickens forage for countless seeds and bugs in the regeneratively farmed pasture. They are moved often in mobile coops. They are given free access to a feed, which contains a specially formulated blend of wheat, peas, barley, fishmeal (from sardines), flax seed, kelp, vitamins, and minerals.

What breed are your chickens?
Cornish Cross.

During processing, what is your chicken washed in?
No bleach, citric and lactic acids, or yucky chemicals here. Our chicken is washed in organic apple cider vinegar as a microbial to kill any salmonella, and then is air chilled.

What is air chilled chicken?
In air chilling, the birds are hung on a conveyor and moved through a series of cold air chambers (near freezing, around 28–34°F) for roughly 2–3 hours until the internal temperature drops to 40°F or below.

Why is your chicken air-chilled?
Air chilling allows for healthier and safer chicken by eliminating the risk of shared bacteria. When a product is air chilled, there is no added water weight, so you are getting exactly what you paid for. No added chemicals or water are used during the air chilling process, therefore a full and robust flavor is found when our chicken is served.

What is "pastured chicken"?
Miller’s pastured chicken comes from birds that are allowed to forage for countless seeds and bugs in the pasture, in addition to the corn/soy and gmo free feed. They live in mobile coops in pasture for as long as the weather allows them, giving them space and freedom to run.
+
The chicken is packaged in HDPE plastic, which is the most environmentally stable of all plastics. It does not contain BPA, phthalates, heavy metals, harmful fumes, or allergens. But all plastic has the potential to leach chemicals.
