Omaha Steaks has made it easier than ever to cook your favorite bird of choice. Our air-chilled chicken is slowly cooled with air, giving you a more tender, juicier, and flavorful chicken. Then, it's masterfully de-boned by our expert butchers, leaving just the wingettes attached for added flavor.
This is a critical step in the process because by removing the bones first, it allows the marinade to soak deeply into the meat. This also ensures the split bird has more surface contact for your grill or skillet, which ultimately speeds up your cooking time.
Because they're split, our Air-Chilled Half Chickens are perfect for grilling, broiling, or cooking over the hot grates of a grill. And because each chicken delivers a breast, wing, leg, and thigh, you're guaranteed to have both mild white meat and flavorful dark meat for your family to savor.
Flash-frozen to preserve freshness, they're also conveniently packaged to ensure easy preparation. So, don't wait another minute - add the best tasting, juiciest chicken of your life to your next grill out.
