Our chicken comes from the Voltigeurs farm, a family farm well-known in Quebec for its natural products and animal-friendly farming practices. The chickens are raised to roam freely in enclosures and are fed exclusively with vegetable grains, which makes a protein-rich meat.
The chickens are air-cooled, not water-cooled: the majority of chicken products consumed in Quebec are cooled with water. This process means that the chickens are immersed in chlorinated water basins and gorge themselves with that water, for a maximum percentage of 12%. The air-cooling process consists of suspending the chickens and letting them air-cool in sanitized cool chambers. This way, the chicken loses less water while cooking and keeps its shape, appearance, texture and freshness.
