If 10,000 NY Biters eat a locally sourced chicken dinner once a week instead of regular chicken, we'll keep the weight of about 500 farmers in CO2 out of the air.

The average American eats about 80 lb of chicken every year.

Cutlets Au Natural

The Bite

Disappointed to find your "natural" breasts are actually falsies? Guarantee the real thing. Murray's Chicken let's you check where your fowl (breasts and otherwise) comes from. Just log onto the website, click Farm Verification, then enter the code printed on any MC's chicken or turkey label. Up pops the details on the fam-run Penn farm that raised your bird (even the kids chip in to help raise the cluck-clucks at Burkholder Farm), and you can see exactly where your food came from and how it was raised, cage-free sans antibiotics. Bonus: MC now uses only Styrofoam-free packaging (so there's no cancer-causing benzene or toxic styrene in the mix either). You're bound to get a little lift from knowing your food's not unnaturally enhanced.
