What makes it different
Eight to ten weeks
That is how long we grow our birds. A conventional broiler goes to market at six or seven. The extra weeks are why the meat has texture and why a leg tastes like something.
Why butterflied
The bone is out of the way and the meat lies flat, so it cooks evenly and the skin crisps all over rather than only on top. It also means a leg is done in the time a breast takes.
Dark meat is forgiving
Legs and thighs carry more fat and more connective tissue than breast, so a few minutes long does not ruin them. This is the cut for when you are not watching the clock.
Dark meat wants to go past done. 165°F is the safe number, but legs are better nearer 175°F, where the connective tissue has actually softened.
FROM THE FARM
We raise our birds on pasture here in Monticello, Kentucky and have them processed at a USDA-inspected poultry plant. We grow them eight to ten weeks, which is two to four weeks longer than a commodity bird, and it is the single biggest difference you will taste.
How to cook them
1
Pat them dry and salt them. If you have an hour, salt them and leave them uncovered in the fridge — dry skin is crisp skin.
2
Skin side down in a hot pan, or skin side up on a 425°F sheet pan. Do not crowd them — steam is the enemy of crisp.
3
Twenty-five to thirty minutes in the oven. 165°F is done, but dark meat is better around 175°F.
4
Rest five minutes before cutting. The juice under the skin needs somewhere to go.
