In our never-ending desire to seek out the best in quality and local products, Pepper’s is going “all in” with an outstanding regional chicken producer, Murray’s Chicken. In a tasting panel of 15 Pepper’s palates, an overwhelming thumbs up went to Murray’s for taste and moistness.

Murray’s Chicken is fed an all-natural, all-vegetable diet of 100% soybeans and corn. Many people do not realize the amount of antibiotics, growth hormones and drugs that are in most chicken feeds. In our humble opinion, this is simply not right. Humane conditions are also important to us. The chickens at Murray’s are never caged—they have plenty of room to stretch their wings, and enjoy access to sunlight and fresh air. We strongly believe that this makes for a much healthier, tastier chicken.

Murray’s Chicken is the first chicken certified as ‘lean’ by the American Heart Association, and the only chicken to be labeled ‘lean’ by the USDA. A Murray’s chicken is a hormone and antibiotic-free heritage chicken. Their quality of life eliminates the need for antibiotics, as unsanitary and inhumane conditions are generally the reasons why birds develop and carry the types of diseases that call for antibiotics in their feed.

Murray’s Chicken is a true leader in sustainability—in fact, you can actually trace a Murray’s chicken back to the hen house where it was raised using Google Earth.

Pepper’s is proud to feature Murray’s chicken on every Pepper’s menu with a dish containing chicken. We know that when you taste it for yourself, you’ll certainly agree.
