Exploring Chicken Neck: A Culinary Delight
What is Chicken Neck?
Chicken neck is a lesser-known yet flavorful part of the chicken. It is often discarded in many recipes, but it is packed with taste and can add depth to several dishes. Because of its unique texture, chicken neck is not only affordable but also versatile. Many cultures around the world celebrate its use in traditional recipes, making it a hidden gem for adventurous home cooks.
Cooking Methods for Chicken Neck
There are numerous ways to prepare chicken neck, including braising, grilling, or slow-cooking. For instance, braising chicken neck can render it tender and infuse it with the flavors of spices and vegetables. You can also grill them for a smoky flavor or use them in hearty soups to enhance the broth. Using chicken neck in your meals not only adds delicious flavors but can be a healthy alternative to more processed meats.
Delicious Recipes Featuring Chicken Neck
Incorporating chicken neck into your meal prep can be exciting! For example, you can make a rich chicken neck soup with herbs and spices, or stir-fry the necks with fresh vegetables for a quick and nutritious dinner. So, next time you visit the grocery store, consider picking up some chicken necks! They are not only budget-friendly but also provide unique taste profiles that can elevate any dish.

Here are the rules:
Cleaned | Quartered | On Ice
Our butchers are easy to work with, they ask that when you bring your game, it is:
- In an iced down cooler that keeps the meat below 41 degrees
- Skinned, gutted, and quartered
- Clean and free of all foreign debris and residue - including hair, bullets, arrowheads etc.
Always, bring your game to us in an iced down cooler - we always check receiving temperatures. Our butcher will receive and store your game in our freezer with a freezer bag for the period that we hold it. We don't keep coolers. When you return for pick-up, please come back with your iced cooler for safe and acceptable transportation back home.
It is very important to keep the temperature of the meat below 41 degrees to prevent decomposition, bacterial growth, and any contamination.
We do not keep coolers in our premises due to limited space and in order to meet and maintain acceptable storage temperatures of the game inside the cooler.
