This is one of my families favorite and most used cuts of meat we eat on a daily basis.
Let me tell you why we love it so much.
Since it's made with our pasture-raised chicken thighs and drumsticks, it...
is super flavorful and tender
contains tons of healthy fats, vitamins and minerals
has higher quantities of iron, zinc, amino acids, and B vitamins
great for immune system, metabolism, brain function and so much more
makes it easy to get all the nutrition of dark meat with the convenience of cooking ground meat.
Also...
It's SOOO versatile!
Use it for burgers, tacos, stir fry, meatloaf, spaghetti, chili, soups.
Basically, any recipe you would use ground beef for you can use our Savory Blend Ground Chicken.
Plus, did you know this is what's used for all our chicken sausages?
You can take our Savory Blend and add whatever spices you like to make your own custom chicken sausage if you like.
Below is my family's favorite meatball recipe.
I hope you love it as much as we do.
PS- I'll be adding more recipes to this blog in the future using our Savory Blend Ground Chicken.

Slowly add broth 1/2 cup at a time as you continue to whisk until smooth.
