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.

Naf’s Tips
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.
Cooking Methods
- Grill: Start the pieces over direct heat to crisp the skin. Don’t move them for at least 5-6 minutes, until the skin releases easily. Flip and cook the other side. Once seared, move the chicken to the cooler section of your grill, cover, and let them continue to cook gently for 10-15 minutes more, or until the bone moves freely from the meat when wiggled gently, or the piece is tender to the touch.
- Oven/Roast: Braise or roast at 325F until tender, about 50-75 minutes.
