Mountaire is a vertically integrated farm that controls every aspect of production from hatcheries to feed mills, grow-out barns to processing. They are known for sustainably producing jumbo birds. They are also One Health Certified; a program designed by Iowa State University and recognized by USDA which focuses on animal welfare and disease prevention. To create party wings, chicken purveyors break down the whole wing, first removing the tip, then dividing the meat into the drumette and the flat. This makes for faster, more consistent cooking, whether roasting, grilling, or frying, as well as easier serving.
