Get the Most Out of Your Chicken
A Whole Chicken Workshop with Shady Hill Homestead
📍 CREW, Mount Jackson | 📅 June 21
We raise pasture-raised, non-GMO chicken for our community—and you all love it! One of our most popular products is the whole chicken. It's the best bang for your buck, but we know it can be a little intimidating.
What size do I need?
Do I just roast it?
How do I even cut it up?
We want you to feel confident buying and using a whole bird. This class is all about giving you the tools, knowledge, and inspiration to get the most out of your Shady Hill chicken.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
🍽️ Understanding chicken sizes (and what’s right for your household)
🔪 How to break down a whole bird into parts
🍲 Making stock (freezing & canning tips!)
📦 Storage tips & tricks
🍽️ Meal ideas and cooking inspiration
📦 How to decide if buying in bulk is right for you
Whether you're new to whole chickens or want to brush up your skills, you’ll leave this class ready to make the most of every bite.
