Free Range Airline Chicken Breast

Unlike regular commercial chickens which are confined to tiny pens, Mary’s Free Range chickens live their entire lives in small groups in pastured farms in sunny, beautiful California, with access to shade in outdoor areas, areas to hide and play, and enough space to move, bathe, and have a normal, chicken-y life! This chicken has never been given antibiotics, hormones or animal by products in the feed – just air, sunshine and healthy food. Airline Chicken Breasts are the preferred presentation of chefs and restaurants - with the wing joint attached, which makes for an elegant presentation and results in juicier meat as the bones allow for the fattier sections of meat to cook more evenly. Allow for a bit of additional time for cooking due to the extra mass of the airline chicken breast. 

When it comes to processing, forget supermarket chickens bloated with water and moisture! Mary’s free range chicken breasts are processed using an “air chill” system, which produces a chicken with loads more flavor than water chilled chicken. There’s no watering down of the juices and flavor, no shrinking when cooked, less risk of bacterial contamination – just a healthier, more flavorful airline chicken breast for you an your family. 

Mary’s Chickens are raised the old-fashioned way, naturally, seeking to bring a pure, simple and ultimately healthier and more flavorful product to your table. Mary’s is a family owned company that’s been operated by three generations of farmers since 1954. They adhere to the 5-Step Animal Welfare Rating Standards Program with Global Animal Partnership, a program that commits to better, more humane rearing for the animals.
