Pasture-raised chicken leg & thigh with rich, dark meat and naturally juicy flavor. Perfect for roasting, grilling, or slow cooking, these cuts stay tender and flavorful thanks to the balanced fat and connective tissue in the leg.
About this cut
Chicken leg & thigh (often called a leg quarter) is one of the most flavorful parts of the bird. The leg and thigh stay naturally juicy during cooking thanks to the slightly higher fat content and connective tissue in the dark meat.
Our chickens are raised on pasture where they spend their days scratching, foraging, and moving to fresh grass regularly. That slower, more natural life produces chicken with deeper flavor and better texture than conventional poultry.
Each package typically contains two leg & thigh quarters, making it a hearty and economical option for family meals.
What makes our chicken special

Flavor & cooking notes
Legs and thighs are the most forgiving cut of chicken to cook. The dark meat stays tender and juicy even with longer cooking times, and the skin crisps beautifully when roasted or grilled.
Cook to an internal temperature of 175–185°F for the best texture — slightly higher than chicken breast, which helps break down the connective tissue and makes the meat especially tender.
Storage & keeping
Frozen and vacuum sealed. Best used within 6–12 months when kept frozen.
Thaw slowly in the refrigerator for best texture.
