In reply to Kelli.

I’ll agree there was a bit more skin than I expected to see. I’m not sure how much mine weighed in at after trimming and such, but most of them were decent looking. I did have a couple that looked a bit strangley like you said.

I recieved my chicken yesterday in Clearwater! A little disappointed at the fact they were supposed to deliver in St. Petersburg, had a place picked and then changed it to Clearwater the day of, but besides that am loving it!

Can’t wait for them to send some beef and fruit this way!

A little disappointed with my chicken from Zaycon. After trimming the skin (a couple had full skin still on them) and fat and dumping the “chicken juice” I only got about 35 lbs of chicken. Several were “chewed up”, they looked like someone cut them up who had never used a knife before. Ended up being about $1.70 a pound, but not sure it was worth the traffic and hassle.

Thanks for the ideas. When I went to pick it up today, it was Sanderson Farms Chicken breasts (Boneless,Skinless), packaged 3-4 breasts per pkg. for $1.69/lb. I did place each container in a gallon freezer bag to help prevent freezer burn, because the plastic wrap around the chicken and tray is somewhat thin, thought this would help keep it longer. My freezer is getting all filled up with meat because of all the great sales lately. I’m definately not complaining!!!

I normally buy in bulk from a company in clearwater and was going to try this one. I buy freezer bags and cut off any fat or excess skin/hair left of the breast(my only complaint about buying from the market is it sometimes requires extra work on my part) and freeze them 1-2 breast in a bag. The ones I get are huge and 2 breast will feed my family of 4. I have a pressure cooker so I can cook them quickly right from the freezer if I need them quickly. I also buy chicken legs the same way and I freeze them 6 to a bag. Last time I ordered ordered chicken in April I got 40lbs of boneless skinless breast and 40lbs legs for $89.

I’m buying 40 lbs of boneless skinless chicken breasts tomorrow at our local meat market for $1.69/ lb. I knew this was a great price, but have never bought chicken in bulk this way. How do you put up and freeze your chicken? Do you cook some of it for quicker meal prep in the future? We have a family of 6, and I love buying hamburger meat in bulk and browning it and freezing it in 1 lb ziploc bags for easy meal prep. It saves a ton of time for me on busy weeknights. Any ideas would be so helpful, thanks so much for all you do!
