We are delighted to bring you chicken backs from our friends Lawrence and Livia of Outryder farms in Interlaken, NY. They are raised with the same care for the land and the livestock as we have for years on our farm.
These chickens are raised by Outryder Farms in collaboration with the Finger Lakes Cider House
Their birds are humanely raised outdoors on pasture every day, without antibiotics, hormones or steroids. They are fed organic grains and never fed any animal by-products. You can see and taste the difference!
These are very special gourmet chickens. They are called Red Rangers. They perform better on pasture than the classic white leghorn birds that everyone else raises. These birds take longer to raise and they absolutely delicious and you won't find them in the grocery store.
Chicken backs consist of the spine of the chicken along with a bit of skin, fat, and meat. There are two backs in each package.
Roast chicken backs in the oven until golden brown before adding to a stock pot with water and your favorite seasonings. Cook at 190 degrees for at least 12 and up to 24 hours to make rich, flavorful chicken bone broth. You can use an instant pot to concentrate flavor without having to leave on the stove on all night.
