Go the Classic Route with Fried Chicken

Craving a full feast with fried chicken as the centerpiece? Try this crispy, crunchy, mouthwatering pasture raised chicken and grass fed beef tallow recipe. Beef tallow’s high smoke point is ideal for frying and key to a juicy bird and golden brown skin. 

Grilled chicken wings with sauces and sides, highlighting pasture-raised, nutrient-dense meat prepared for a meal.

Start with a whole nutrient rich chicken free of corn and soy or use individual cuts like legs, thighs, wings, and breasts. Next, whip up a buttermilk brine to marinate the chicken for a few hours.

After brining, remove the chicken from the buttermilk and shake off any excess before dredging in a flour-and-spice mixture. Melt your beef tallow in a large pot or deep fryer, and drop the chicken in small, similar-sized batches until golden and cooked through.

Quiche It Up

Savory or sweet? With quiche, the answer is completely up to you! All you need are a few staples like eggs, milk, cheese, pastured proteins, and veggies for your pastry crust, filling, and custard mixture. For an ultra-flaky, savory crust, mix beef tallow into your mixture!

Keep it traditional with a timeless bacon and cheese quiche, featuring smoked bacon and grated Gruyère. Or spice it up with Spanish-style chorizo sausage or chicken and Manchego cheese.

Stacked roast beef sandwich with melted cheese, featuring high-quality pasture-raised meat in a hearty serving.

Keep It Simple with Sandos

No picnic basket is complete without a few handheld options like refreshing, hit-the-spot sandwiches. Try a cold Cobb chicken salad sammie packed with hard-boiled egg slices, pasture raised chicken, bacon, and your choice of toppings.

Or for a grilled favorite that uses up any leftover frozen corned beef from St. Patrick's Day, whip up a Reuben sandwich with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing.
