When it comes to chicken, you want to feel good about what you’re eating. That’s why we went to Arkansas to visit Cooks Venture, the only vertically integrated chicken producer in the country that breeds through selection and not genetic engineering. With a passion for thoughtfully sourced, great-tasting meat, we learn first-hand about some of the positive strides being made in the industry.

Chances are you cook chicken on a weekly basis. But, are you cooking it correctly? We break down the top mistakes home chefs make, plus list our favorite chicken brands you can get delivered to your door or find at your  grocery store, trusting what you put on the table. Confused by the labeling? We also list all the different terms, and what they really mean for your poultry.

Finally, add some variety to your routine chicken dishes with four approachable and equally delicious recipes from Cooks Venture.
