Chicken Special!

  • We have 1/2 Chicken Special on!
  • Cooking Coopers Chicken;
    • Be considerate with cooking to 170 internal.
    • Our chicken is very lean and does not have water/salt filler in them like the grocery store.
    • This means if you cook it too long, it will get very dry.
  • Our Favourite Way to Cook our Chicken:
    • Thaw Chicken Night Before
    • Remove so it becomes room temperature before cooking
    • Light drizzle of olive oil then season as desired
    • BBQ: 
      • Get really hot so you can sear each side of chicken
      • Sear each side 3 minutes
      • lower temp and cook until internal 155. (If you don't have a thermometer, GET ONE.)
      • You can always cut into bird to check pinkness.
      • Remove, plate, & enjoy!

New Steak; Picanha Steak

  • Picanha steaks will be available in the swap area.
  • These is consider the best part of the top sirloin. 
  • There is a very limited amount so get there quick!
  • There are also Denver steaks available. These were newly included a couple weeks ago

XL Brisket Available

  • If you love smoking, we recommend trying our large briskets!
