Are you on team dark meat? If so, leg quarters are the perfect cut for you!
Chicken leg quarters consist of the thigh and drumstick. They are sold bone-in and skin-on which means extra flavor. This dark meat cut is full of protein, iron, and zinc.
Our chickens spend their entire lives on pasture, being moved from field to field every day. They eat grasses, seeds, and worms with supplemental Organic feed. The fresh air, all natural diet, and large amount of exercise result in a full-flavored, nutrient-rich meat that’s unlike any chicken in the grocery store.
Leg quarters need to be cooked low and slow in order to become tender. We recommend slow roasting them in a low oven for an hour or two, or braising them in a dutch oven, Instant Pot, or slow cooker.
If you like chicken thighs, you’ll love the extra meat found on a leg quarter!
Each package of Harris Homeplace Farm leg quarters weighs roughly two pounds and will feed three to four people.
