At Premier Meat Company, we believe that air-chilled chicken offers a superior taste and texture when compared to conventional water-chilled chicken.<\/p>\n<p>The vast majority of chicken products available in supermarkets across the United States have been chilled using conventional methods. Chickens are cooled down all together in a vat of chlorinated ice water. Some of this communal, chlorinated water is absorbed and the added moisture makes up 2-12% of the chicken\u2019s total weight. Not only do you end up paying more on water and less on chicken per pound, but this process dilutes the flavor of the chicken and can spread bacteria.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/premiermeatcompany.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/WebRes_PMC_070215_10.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2492\" src=\"https:\/\/premiermeatcompany.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/WebRes_PMC_070215_10-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Premier Meat Company air chilled chicken free range poultry delivery order online free shipping Los Angeles\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Premier Meat Company\u2019s chicken products are chilled with cold air.
