Cooking Tip

Fresh Chicken

Less than fresh chicken cannot hide its age. Look for chicken breasts that are plump and bruise free.

Cooking Tip

Chicken Freshness

Don’t be overly concerned about the differences in color of chicken breasts. Flesh should always be pinkish tan in color, but the color will vary depending on what the chicken was feeding on.
