Join Meaty for Whole Chicken Butchery at Home: our virtual class on how to source, cut, and cook poultry.
Using a whole pasture-raised chicken sourced from a local farm, we’ll cover:
Sourcing - What to look for in farms, butcher shops, and grocery stores so that you can buy poultry that is flavorful and supports sustainable and humane farming practices.
Butchery - Guiding principles for at-home butchery, and a step-by-step, hands-on tutorial on how to cut a whole bird into 8 pieces (wings, drumsticks, thighs, and boneless breasts)
Cooking - Which parts are best for which kinds of recipes, and how to maximize the number of meals you can get out of a single bird.
If you live in the Boston area, our farm partner, Stillman Quality Meats, will deliver your chicken the week of the class, or you can pick it up at a local farmers market. Your ticket includes both the cost of the class ($60) and the cost of the chicken ($25), which we pass through directly to the farmer.
If you live anywhere else, we’ll send you tips for finding a well-raised chicken close to home, and you’ll only pay for the cost of the class.
Either way, you’ll leave class with a freshly-cut chicken parts ready for a quick, delicious dinner and newly-formed butchery skills essential for any home cook.
