I am very particular about the food my family eats, particularly when it comes to chicken. I want my family to have only the best free from anything extra. I like to know where our chicken comes from and know that it was raised in a natural environment. I choose cage free chicken that has had antibiotics and has been fed a vegetarian diet with no animal by-products.
Basically, I want chicken like my ancestors had chicken. Fresh. Natural. Simple.
Eat Like Your Ancestors.
One of my kids most favorite chicken recipe uses two of our very favorite ingredients – in addition to chicken of course – bacon and maple syrup.
