What is a spatchcock chicken?

The spatchcock method allows the chicken to cook faster, more evenly and results in crispier skin. You'll never want to make a whole chicken another way!

The term “Spatchcock” is derived from an old Irish abbreviation of “dispatching the cock”. It’s a processing method involving cutting out the backbone of the chicken so it cooks flat, resulting in a faster, more evenly cooked chicken with crispier skin.

When you spatchcock a chicken it makes it lay flat, and therefore all the meat cooks more evenly.

With a whole roasting chicken, the breasts usually cook first, and then become dry while the rest of the chicken is cooking. By spatchcocking the chicken, you eliminate this issue.

This is great for your family, especially if you don't have time to turn the carcass into broth or soup - you don't pay for stuff you won't use (the chicken backbone).

BellMar Ranch & Gardens Pasture Raised Corn & Soy Free Chicken

Why Pastured Chicken?

We raise our chickens (and all of our other animals) in a way that prioritizes quality over quantity, nutrition over cheapness, craft over assembly lines, and our health as top priority.

The method is quite simple - raise the chickens the way they were put on Earth to be raised, and their meat quality will reward us with delicious flavor and enhanced nutrition.

Ninety-nine percent of the chickens raised in Canada are in dark barns, fed GMO grains, given drugsdipped in chlorine, and kept behind closed doors from the public eye to see.

We only sell chicken raised the the best way possible – outdoors on fresh pasture, supplemented with NON-GMO corn-free and soy-free grain, no antibiotics, no chlorine baths, and frozen and vacuum sealed at the peak of freshness –  the quality won’t disappoint.

  • Pasture Raised On real pasture - that's why pasture raised chicken is known to have more Omega 3's compared to organic, barn-raised chickens, because they are eating grass/forage
  • Raised Outdoors - Grocery store chickens (even the organic ones) never see the outdoors 
  • Actually Free Range - Not crammed in a chicken barn “free range” like most “free range” chickens are (organic or conventional) 
  • Non GMO Fed (in addition to the grass and bugs they graze on) 
  • Humanely Raised - Our birds are raised in large mobile floorless pasture coops that get moved every day. They have the critical shade to withstand any hot Alberta days, and open tarps on the back that have the ability to roll down if a storm rolls through.  
  • Frozen & Vacuum Sealed at the peak of freshness (no sticky chicken juice hitting your veggies in your grocery cart)  

Your Reservation is essential for us to get to work raising your chickens. It helps cover the labor, time, and upfront costs involved to raise chickens the right way. Because of this investment, the *Reservation is non-refundable* Thank you for making this system possible!
