I aim to buy chicken that is never given antibiotics or added hormones, pasture raised, humanely raised and USDA organic. When you eat meat you are also consuming whatever the animal was fed or medicated with. So do your research to know how the chicken was cared for. To simplify things, I've been purchasing my meat from ButcherBox for years so that I always have the highest quality meat right in my freezer. It makes meal prep super easy!
