At Perdue Farms, your health and well-being are our top concerns. In the past few days, we’ve experienced heavier than normal call volume as customers reach out with concerns about sourcing of our products and quality control measures we’ve put in place to guarantee the freshness and safety of the foods we ship. We want you to know that we hear you, we thank you for reaching out and we want to reassure you in every way possible that we’re putting your health, safety and well-being first.
In light of concerns over Coronavirus (COVID-19), we’d like to share the following:
COVID-19 is Not Considered a Food-Borne Pathogen
Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), COVID-19 is most commonly spread between those who are in close contact with each other, and through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It may also be possible for a person to contract COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching his or her own mouth, nose or possibly eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. We have strict biosecurity protocols throughout our farms and entire supply chain, including proven sanitation methods which minimize the risk of contaminated surfaces.
Perdue Farms Takes Food Safety Protocols Seriously
We have the highest standards of biosecurity and food safety, and fully sanitize our facilities every 24 hours. We are closely monitoring affected areas and reiterating our biosecurity policy to help minimize the potential to transport possibly contaminated surfaces. The staff at the onsite Wellness Centers at 19 of our facilities are trained on how to protect our associates from, and identify and respond to, symptoms of COVID-19. These professionals follow standard operating procedures as defined by the CDC for infectious diseases. The Wellness Centers are available to all associates and their families. We are taking every precaution to protect our associates, communities, customers and business partners, and ensure the continuity of our business.
All of our animals are born/hatched, raised, harvested and processed in the U.S. As with most large businesses, we source some (non-food) elements of our supply chain from countries outside the U.S. We are closely monitoring affected areas and reiterating our biosecurity policy to help minimize the potential to transport possibly contaminated surfaces.
Thank you for being a loyal Perdue Farms customer. Please reach out to our Consumer Relations team, should you have any additional questions or concerns.
PREP TIME: 1hr 30min COOK TIME: 40min
Serves 6
2 cups buttermilk
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. salt
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. black pepper
Vegetable oil for frying
Step 1
Marinate
Cut whole chicken into 8 pieces. In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, add chicken and buttermilk. Refrigerate 1 hour or up to overnight.
Step 2
Shake
In another resealable plastic bag, combine flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder and black pepper. Shake to mix well. Move one piece of chicken at a time from marinade into flour mixture. Shake well to coat completely. Place on rack and continue with remaining chicken.
Step 3
Fry
Heat 1 inch vegetable oil in large deep skillet over medium-high heat until deep-fry thermometer registers between 350°F and 375°F. Fry chicken a few pieces at a time so oil doesn’t cool down. Turn chicken to brown evenly and remove when golden and cooked through. Wings should take 10 to 15 minutes, drumsticks 15 to 20 minutes, breasts and thighs 20 to 25 minutes. Chicken is done when meat thermometer inserted in center reaches 170°F. Drain on wire rack to keep chicken crispy.
TIP
TIP: Don’t have a deep-fry thermometer? You can tell when oil is hot enough with a wooden spoon. Stick spoon into oil so that handle touches bottom of pot. Oil will bubble around handle when it’s hot enough for frying.
Step 4
Serve
Serve hot. Or cool chicken to room temperature. Place it in a sealed container and refrigerate to enjoy the next day
