Chicken Necks – Pasture Raised

• Price: $6.28 per pound
• Average weight: 1.25 pounds
• Great for soups, broths, or stews.

Pasture-raised chicken necks come from chickens raised in open pastures, where they have the freedom to roam and forage naturally. This humane and sustainable farming practice often results in meat that is healthier, more flavorful, and of higher quality.

Chicken necks are a great source of nutrients, including some key vitamins:

• Vitamin B12: Essential for energy production, nerve function, and the formation of red blood cells.
• Niacin (Vitamin B3): Helps convert food into energy and supports healthy skin and the nervous system.
• Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): Important for energy metabolism and maintaining healthy tissues.

They also provide minerals like calcium and phosphorus, especially when cooked in a broth, as the nutrients from the bones and cartilage are released. Using chicken necks in soups or stocks is a flavorful way to enjoy their health benefits!

Chicken necks are a versatile cut commonly used in soups, broths, and stews to add a rich depth of flavor. Their combination of tender meat and connective tissue makes them an excellent source of gelatin, which contributes to a hearty and nutritious dish. They can also be roasted or slow-cooked for a savory, satisfying result.
