Zaycon Chicken

If you are looking for a good price on chicken breast, check out Zaycon Foods.  They are currently taking orders for Arizona (and many other states).  For their chicken event, boneless, skinless chicken breasts are sold in 40 lb. cases.  The price for Arizona is only $1.69/lb.  They are taking orders from now until 10/2, or until they are sold out.

  • 100 % natural chicken with no added hormones, additives or artificial ingredients
  • Comes directly from the processor and has never been frozen
  • Sold by the case — 40 lbs in each case
  • Case dimensions—18 in. wide x 12 in. deep x 7 in. tall

 

I have ordered chicken from them twice and been very happy with the results.  The breasts are moist and tender.  Since they’ve never been frozen I cut them up and freeze them when I get them home.  If 40 lbs. sounds like too much chicken at one time, consider finding someone to split a case with.  I split a case with my mom.

The ordering process and pick-up is easy.

  • Once you sign up, go into your account and select the location where you want to pick up your chicken
  • Pay for the order online (via their secure site)
  • A day before the pick-up date, you will get a reminder email from them.
  • Drive over to the location of your choosing on the day/time of the pick-up.
  • You simply stay in your car, let them know who you are.They will verify your order and place the appropriate items in your trunk or backseat (whatever location you specify).
