• Raised By Family Farmers

Our chickens are raised by people who know what’s best for chicken. Family farmers, trained service representatives and local veterinarians all share in the care of our chickens, making sure they’re humanely treated and kept healthy.  

Furthermore, we believe in using antibiotics only when absolutely necessary to maintain bird health and ensure humane care. 

• Raised on Premium Chicken Feed

Gold’n Plump mills its own feed from locally grown corn, soybean meal, vitamins, minerals, and other natural ingredients. Our proprietary nutritious feed recipes are created with the help of a nutritionist—and balanced to meet the changing dietary needs of growing chickens.

• Inspected and Graded for Quality

Under our USDA-approved HACCP Plan, our chicken products must pass numerous quality inspections before packaging. Once packaged, it’s kept cold and delivered quickly to grocery stores, grocery delis, restaurants and other places that use our premium chicken.

• Stamped for Freshness, Food Safety

Every package of our fresh chicken is stamped with a manufacturer’s freshness date code that includes important usage and product identification information to ensure freshness, proper handling, and food safety.

• Labeled Per USDA Standards

Gold’n Plump Poultry follows all labeling regulations as mandated by the USDA-Food Safety & Inspection Service (FSIS)—the agency responsible for ensuring the truthfulness and accuracy of labeling for meat and poultry.  Every Gold’n Plump Product Label is reviewed and approved by the USDA-FSIS to ensure that all product claims are accurate and truthful.  

Nutrition?

When mom said, "Eat your chicken soup. It’s good for you!" she wasn’t kidding around. There are few foods so naturally good for you as chicken. According to the American Dietetic Association, a baked chicken drumstick with the skin removed has less fat than the same portion of sirloin steak, beef tenderloin, pork chop or salmon. Consider these nutrition facts about chicken:

Power Packed
Chicken is a significant source of daily requirements of protein, niacin, B-6, B-12, vitamin D, iron and zinc.

Low Fat, Zero Carbs
Ounce for ounce, skinless chicken is one of the lowest-fat meats around. Although breast meat definitely has the lowest fat content, even skinless dark meat is comparatively low in fat and high in iron and other essential vitamins and minerals. Plus, a good portion of the fat it does have is unsaturated — the good kind of fat. Prepared the right way, chicken is low in calories, cholesterol and has no carbohydrates.

Complements Any Diet
Chicken is the perfect ingredient in today’s most popular diet plans. Some diets, such as Atkins or South Beach, emphasize protein consumption and low-carb intake. Others focus on fat and cholesterol. Compared to popular cuts of steak, chicken (even with the skin on) has lower fat, and similar levels of protein, iron and minerals. And zero carbs!

I've purchased and eaten Gold'n Plump chicken legs. We cooked them with the skin taken off. They were delicious and nutritious. And you don't have blood spots in the chicken.

Yeah, baby, it's worth the few extra bucks for this chicken!
