Free-Range Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs from New Zealand (400g)
Choose options
Four to five boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a 400g (14.1oz) vacuum pack. The chicken is humanely raised free-range with absolutely no growth hormones, antibiotics, or GMO feed. Their authentic environment allows the chickens to grow up happy and stress-free at a natural pace, resulting in healthy, well-formed meat. These skinless thighs are a healthier option over thighs with skin.
Chicken thigh meat is darker, with more flavor and juiciness compared to chicken breast. Classic Teriyaki Chicken is made using chicken thighs for this very reason. Thigh meat is also great for slow cooking, baking, barbecue, and grilling. You can even bread and deep fry them. We love to marinate the chicken thighs with sea salt, black pepper, paprika powder, lemon juice, garlic powder or crushed garlic and olive oil. Fry in a pan and serve with rice and mixed veggies.
✔ Raised free-range in the rolling green hills of Waikato, New Zealand.
✔ Chickens freely forage, rest, and roam outdoors during the day. State-of-the-art barns provide shelter from the elements and predators at night, but chickens remain free to roam inside.
✔ Naturally slow-grown chicken. Meat is better formed, with higher quality and superior taste.
✔ No use of antibiotics or growth-promoting hormones.
✔ No GMO feed or pesticides
✔ Sustainably raised with the utmost care for the animals, the environment, and the consumer.

The local farmers who produce this product share a common desire to put their chickens first. The chickens' comfort is checked every morning, and they are free to explore vast open areas where they can forage, rest, and roam as they please. They also have state-of-the-art barns to find refuge in when weather or predators are threatening. Waitoa, the producers of this chicken, are SPCA certified for animal welfare practices and Toitu certified Net Carbon Zero for their commitment to reducing CO2 emissions, but they aren't resting on their laurels. They continue to minimize their environmental impact by striving to reduce water usage, waste, and energy consumption as they use sustainable practices to nurture their rich land for generations to come.
