Whole Chicken Legs (Thigh & Drumstick)

Whole Chicken Legs — Thigh & Drumstick

A Whole Chicken Leg keeps two of the best dark-meat cuts together — the thigh and drumstick — for a large, juicy portion with plenty of skin to turn beautifully crisp.

Each package contains 2 Whole Chicken Legs and averages about 1.75 pounds. They're excellent roasted, grilled, smoked, braised or cooked low and slow.

From Our Slow-Growing Heritage Chickens

The chickens we raise for individual cuts are intentionally grown larger and given nearly 3 months to develop. They're raised outdoors on pasture and moved to fresh grass twice every day, where they forage naturally through grasses, clover, bugs and other plants and insects.

They're supplemented with a nutritionally balanced organic feed made without corn or soy and raised without antibiotics, hormones or vaccines.

Simple Cooking Method

Season generously with salt, pepper and your favorite herbs or spices. Roast at 400°F until the skin is deeply browned and the chicken is cooked through. Whole legs also work especially well on the grill or smoker, or braised slowly until tender.

Want to Separate the Thigh & Drumstick?

Lay the leg skin-side down and locate the joint between the thigh and drumstick. Cut directly through the joint. If you meet resistance, move the knife slightly until you find the natural space between the bones.

Package size: 2 Whole Chicken Legs, approximately 1.75 lb average package weight.
