Chicken Recipes

Flavorful, moist, buxom marinated chicken breasts. Unbelievably juicy and tasty turkey. Mouth-watering duck. These recipes will win you a prize at the local competition or amaze your tailgate crew at the big game.

It is estimated that we average 26 chickens per man, woman, and child per year.
