Flat Cut

Bone-In Flat Cut

Bone-In Flat Cut Chicken

Neck removed and bird is cut lengthwise through the back only, giving a butterfly effect allowing for even cooking on the grill / barbecue or in the oven. If you're feeling adventurous, it'll work on a campfire, too!

The remaining bones protect the meat from drying out when cooking with higher temperatures.

Standard packaging is individual birds in a vacuum sealed package.

When ordering this cut for multiple birds, backs will be packaged 2 per bag unless requested otherwise.
