The Quick Facts...

  • Air-chilled, hand-cut poultry
  • Free range, all natural and hormone free

  • 2x legs per package

Our chicken legs are air chilled and always juicy. Butcher Shoppe chicken legs include the drumstick and thigh, with the back removed. This makes for a generous, protein-rich portion without any waste. Like all of our fresh poultry, these chicken legs are hand cut the old fashioned way—to order.  

Goes Great With...

Look for a seasoning mix or rub consisting of garlic, sea salt, and butter, or make it yourself! It’s the PERFECT seasoning to rub into your chicken legs before cooking.

Our Preferred Preparation...

Try throwing your chicken legs into a big cast iron pot with rice and chicken stock for a really moist, flavourful chicken and rice dish.

How It Ships...

Our chicken legs are air chilled and hand prepared, then sent to your door.

Glad you asked! Our chicken is sourced from local Ontario chicken farms without exception. 

Prepare or freeze your Butcher Shoppe chicken within five days of receiving them. You don’t need to wash raw chicken! This will only spread juices to other surfaces. Instead, wash hands before handling and use a separate cutting board for your raw chicken protein. Otherwise, the key is to avoid drying the chicken out during cooking.

Chicken breast is the health nut’s choice for a reason: a four-ounce serving contains just about 100 calories and almost two dozen grams of protein. It’s lean, it’s healthy, and it’s incredibly easy to make.

“Made from 100% locally raised Ontario chicken.”

It doesn’t get much better than hand-cut chicken sourced from local Ontario farms. Air-chilled chicken, that is. While most Ontario-sourced chicken is water chilled, ours is air chilled, helping to retain that beautiful colour and big natural flavour without any extra water weight. All Butcher Shoppe chickens come from free-run farms in the local area. It’s fresh, all-natural chicken right from your own backyard.

From the Head Butcher’s Counter

“Where you get your chicken matters. From the farm the chickens are raised on, to how the meat is chilled, we really scrutinize every last detail, which you’ll find in the juicy tender flavor of Butcher Shoppe chicken.”

On the Grill

Grillmasters love to boast their own proprietary grilled chicken recipes. We like to keep it simple. Throw together your favorite marinade in a ziploc bag—say, oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, and lemon juice?—add your chicken breasts, and let it sit for a couple of hours. Once the grill is hot, give it a couple minutes on each side and bingo.

Using a Broiler

Get your broiler going on high. Slice your chicken breasts in half (lengthwise) before rubbing them down with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a cajun spice mix of your choosing. Place your chicken breasts on the rack and broil them 4-5 minutes on each side.

In a Pan

We like to pat the chicken breast dry, then coat it in a mix of flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Then we heat a generous drizzle of oil in a pan on medium heat before searing the protein 4-5 minutes on each side.
