Perfect for large gatherings and commercial kitchens, Perdue Stuffers are specially selected whole chickens averaging 57 pounds per case, designed specifically for stuffing and roasting applications. These generously sized birds from trusted poultry producer Perdue offer exceptional value for feeding crowds while maintaining the consistent quality the brand has delivered to American tables for decades. The larger size makes them ideal candidates for traditional stuffed chicken preparations, holiday entertaining, and institutional cooking needs.
Perdue Stuffers excel in classic American comfort food preparations, particularly traditional bread stuffing recipes that benefit from the spacious cavity these birds provide. Their substantial size allows for creative stuffing combinations using rice, herbs, vegetables, sausage, or cornbread mixtures that cook beautifully within the chicken while staying moist from the natural juices. These chickens work wonderfully for Southern-style preparations, New England holiday traditions, and contemporary fusion dishes that combine stuffing techniques with international flavors like Mediterranean herbs, Asian-inspired rice mixtures, or Mexican-seasoned ingredients.
When preparing Perdue Stuffers, ensure proper cooking temperatures by using a meat thermometer to verify both the chicken and stuffing reach safe internal temperatures. The larger size requires longer cooking times, making them perfect for slow Sunday dinners or make-ahead meal preparation. Consider pairing with seasonal vegetables, cranberry sauce, or gravy made from the natural drippings. Beyond stuffing applications, these chickens can be spatchcocked for faster cooking, broken down into parts for multiple meals, or used for hearty chicken and dumplings that serve a crowd.
