Ian and Elizabeth raise our Red Ranger chickens on real green pasture in Dundas, MN, moving them to fresh ground all season. Red Rangers are a heritage breed, and they take about 12 weeks to reach processing, nearly twice as long as most chickens you'd find anywhere. This is the same Red Ranger breast as our original, boneless and with the skin removed.
- Real flavor and texture, more like a perfectly cooked steak than the soft, watery chicken most people are used to
- Noticeably darker, firmer meat, built by extra time on pasture and by active birds that forage and move the way chickens are supposed to behave
- Fed certified organic and transition-to-organic grain, non-GMO feed, no antibiotics
Red Ranger breasts are smaller than what you'd find in the grocery store, and that's a feature, not a bug: this breed wasn't designed to grow an oversized chest. This one averages 0.58 lb.
It comes frozen, so keep it in the freezer until you need it and thaw it overnight in the fridge. The meat is lean and firm, so cook it to 165°F and take it off the heat right there, since an overcooked breast dries out fast.
At TC Farm, the Red Ranger is part of why Jack started the farm in the first place. When Betsy and Jack first tried Red Ranger breasts on their hobby farm, they were genuinely shocked at the difference. Ian and Elizabeth were among the first farmers to join us and have raised chickens in Dundas since our earliest days. No shortcuts. Just a slower, better chicken.
Common Questions
Why are pasture-raised heritage chicken breasts smaller than grocery store chicken breasts?
Our TC Farm Red Ranger breasts are smaller than grocery-store breasts because the Red Ranger breed wasn't designed to grow an oversized chest. Most supermarket chicken comes from fast-growing broiler breeds bred for very large breasts and processed in roughly six to seven weeks. Our Red Rangers take about 12 weeks to reach processing, nearly twice as long as most chickens. They spend that time foraging and moving the way chickens are supposed to behave, which builds dense muscle. Our boneless, skinless Ranger breast averages 0.58 lb.
Does heritage breed chicken taste different from regular chicken breast?
Yes. Our TC Farm Red Ranger breast eats more like a perfectly cooked steak than the soft, watery chicken most people are used to. The extra time on pasture makes the meat noticeably darker, firmer and more flavorful. When Betsy and Jack first tried Red Ranger breasts on their hobby farm, they were genuinely shocked at the difference, and the breed is part of why Jack started TC Farm in the first place.

They forage and move the way chickens are supposed to behave, and ours live on real green pasture, moved regularly to fresh ground all season.
Is the TC Farm Ranger Skinless chicken breast boneless and skinless?
Yes. Our Ranger Skinless is a boneless, skinless Red Ranger chicken breast. It is the same as our original Red Ranger breast, which is sold skin-on, with the skin removed. This size averages 0.58 lb and is priced at $12.39. We also offer the skinless breast in larger sizes, averaging 0.80 lb for $16.79 and 0.97 lb for $20.39.

How should I cook a Red Ranger chicken breast with its firmer texture?
Our Ranger Skinless breast is sold frozen, so thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before cooking. With no skin and a small size, it cooks quickly, so a hot pan or oven works better than a long, slow cook. Pounding it to an even thickness helps it cook evenly. Cook it to 165°F internal, rest it a few minutes, then slice across the grain, the way you'd treat a steak.
