REGAL CREST FARMS® NATURAL RESERVE CHICKEN 

Our all natural* chicken contains no artificial ingredients. It is process verified by the USDA to have No Antibiotics Ever and be 100% vegetarian fed. Plus, all of our poultry is humanely raised** and cage free in an open area environment. The result is natural* chicken that tastes great, and that you can be proud to feature on your menu. 

No Antibiotics EVER!! 

To prevent diseases in cramped quarters and cages where chickens are raised, traditional chickens are injected with antibiotics. This makes them more resistant to disease but can also make them a carrier for antibiotic-resistant superbugs that spread to humans, making antibiotics less effective when we need them. 

Our chickens develop better immune system through better animal management and nutrition, thus, they are more adaptable and resistant to diseases. They are grown in clean environments; therefore, they don’t need antibiotics to keep them healthy. These processes ensure that Regal Crest NAE chicken is something you can be proud to serve to customers.  

No Artificial Growth Hormones 

Fully grown chickens can weigh 9 pounds, but the average chicken only weighs an average of 2 pounds. The reason for making chickens grow so quickly and reach unnaturally large sizes is to meet the demand for poultry. But keep in mind that a big and fat chicken doesn’t naturally reach that size in just a few weeks. All-natural chickens are not given growth hormones to grow faster.  

All-natural chicken does not get hormonal treatments like growth hormones and steroids, because farmers let them grow naturally at their own pace. With Regal Crest Natural Reserve, there's no need to worry about excess hormones in your food.  

Cage-Free 

Chickens raised in cage-free environments have more space to walk around and carry out natural behaviors, including perching and laying eggs in a nest location of their choosing. 

When compared to conventional cage environments, this leads to higher animal welfare. Additionally, since the chickens have greater room to avoid one another, cage-free systems often lead to fewer illnesses and injuries. 

If you are looking for the best in your kitchen, start with Regal Crest Natural Reserve.

Pineapple Salsa: Pan-fry 24 chunks of pineapple on medium-high heat in a non-stick pan. Toss occasionally; remove from pan when 2–3 sides have picked up some color. Mix fried pineapple with diced avocado, red onion, jalapeños, lime juice, and cilantro. Refrigerate for at least one hour.

Preparation: Preheat oven to 400 °F. Remove chicken from marinade. Heat one teaspoon olive oil on medium-high heat in an oven-proof skillet or frying pan. Pan-fry chicken for one minute, then flip and immediately put in the oven for 10–15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 °F.
