Our pastured Chicken Leg Quarters boast the richest flavor of any cut on the chicken. Raised in small batches by a network of dedicated Amish and Mennonite growers, our poultry are moved to fresh pasture daily where they roam and forage freely -- which means their muscles get some exercise and develop great flavor and texture. They are fed exclusively GMO-free grain, never any hormones, antibiotics or animal by-products. For best results, roast your Chicken Leg Quarters low and slow (300F for 60-90 minutes) or until meat is tender. Also great braised or in stews. *Price per pound is an estimate for comparison purposes only. Click on the "Details" tab to learn more.

About this cut
Our pastured Chicken Leg Quarters boast the richest flavor of any cut on the chicken. Raised in small batches by a network of dedicated Amish and Mennonite growers, our poultry are moved to fresh pasture daily where they roam and forage freely -- which means their muscles get some exercise and develop great flavor and texture. They are fed exclusively GMO-free grain, never any hormones, antibiotics or animal by-products. For best results, roast your Chicken Leg Quarters low and slow (300F for 60-90 minutes) or until meat is tender. Also great braised or in stews.
Basic Cooking Technique:
Roast, braise, or grill. Turn the temperature down and increase cooking time to give the muscle fibers time to relax -- we find about 60-75 minutes at 300-325F is ideal.

Additional Info
Products are packed with coolant during their journey to ensure they arrive in great shape. Meats will arrive frozen or refrigerated. Most of our products are shipped frozen; occasionally, due to a very quick turnaround between when the meats arrive at our freezing and distribution facility and when they are delivered to you, meats may be shipped fresh. Meat that is cold to the touch can be refrigerated for immediate use, or frozen for later use. Learn more.

Why The Feathers?
The size and taste are good but for this price it would have been nice to receive the parts clean of feathers. Note from Grow and Behold: Thanks for the review! So glad you enjoyed the chicken, sorry about any feathers. Kosher cold-water plucking can sometimes leave pin-feathers, but we always do our best to remove feathers.

Products came in good shape but foam container was cracked open
Not enough dry ice in container so container was slightly crushed but contents were OK. Note from Grow & Behold: Thanks for the review! So glad you enjoyed the chicken. Boxes can become damaged due to FedEx handling but that is not related to the amount of refrigerant in the package. Rest assured, we always send with plenty of ice to keep things nice and cold!

Perfect for slow cooking!
I love these leg quarters and put them in every order. I typically slow cook them on low for 5-6 hours with a rub made of olive oil, za'atar, garlic, and lemon zest, putting olives and dried fruit underneath them to soak up the schmaltz. I knocked a star off because sometimes the skin still has feather fringe on, but for the most part these are delicious.

The chicken leg quarters are delicious
I liked the way you used to package them better, 2 leg quarters sealed separately
How Many Pieces Will I Receive?
Our frozen meats are packaged in vacuum-sealed packages. Most packages contain one piece (ie, one Brisket). Some packages will contain two pieces (ie, Lamb Chops). Packages of smaller items, such as Chicken Wings or Pepper Steak, will contain multiple pieces.
For red meat items and multi-pack poultry items, vacuum-sealed packages may be packed in a cardboard box. If there is an option to choose how many packages you'd like in the box, you'll make that selection under "Customize Your Order." Then you'll choose your preferred weight (that is, the combined weight of all the the packages in that box.) If only one choice is showing in a green box, you do not need to make any selection.
Example: Lamb Chops
Let's say you're ordering Lamb Chops and you select the following:
You've chosen: 2 packages, ~1.1 lb, and the price shows $39.99.
You’ll receive 1 box, with 2 packages of lamb chops inside.
Each package will contain 2 lamb chops. You’ll have 4 lamb chops in total. We always try to pack similar-sized items, but you may find that some chops are slightly larger and some are slightly smaller.
How Much Does It Weigh?
We use weight ranges in order to keep our fulfillment system practical and manageable for items with variable weights (for example steaks. Packages of deli meats which are not sold by weight range as we can pack them by exact weight). The ranges are as small as practically possible to minimize the variation between the Selected Weight and the actual weght you receive. Because of this, if the price per pound is shown as "price/lb*", the *" indicates that it is an estimate for comparison purposes only, since the price associated with the selected weight is the price for all items within that weight range.
This chart shows the potential weight variance for selected weights on our site:
| Selected Weight | Potential Weight Variance |
|---|---|
| under ~0.95 lb | +/- 0.15 lb |
| ~1 lb to ~3.9 lb | +/- 0.25 lb |
| ~4 lb to ~10 lb | +/- 0.5 lb | over ~10 lb | +/- 1 lb |
For example:
- An item with a Selected Weight of ~1.5 lb could weigh as much as 1.75 lb or as little as 1.25 lb
- An item with a Selected Weight of ~5 lb could weigh as much as 5.5 lb or as little as 4.5 lb
We keep the ranges as small as practically possible to minimize the variation you might receive. Sometimes you will receive a bit more than the listed weight, and sometimes a bit less. Our customers find that on average they receive what they are expecting. But if you find that your actual weights in an order are all below the listed average, please snap a picture of the weight labels and send it over to us, and we'll be happy to make things right.
