Country Chicken Pickle with Bone

Why eat country chicken?

Country chicken or Natu Kodi are mostly grown on smaller scales where they are set to roam freely. Country chickens contain less fat and more muscle in comparison to conventional chickens as they roam rigorously which helps in burning the fat. Not just that, country chickens are allowed to mature naturally without any medications. Unlike conventional chicken that is made to mature in 30 days, country chicken or Natu Kodi matures naturally in 3 months.

If you are someone that has consumed natu Kodi before then you would know the difference. Conventional chicken is tender as they are put in one place all their lives with no place to roam. These contain more fat as there are bred in more numbers in small spaces. This is not the case with country chickens.

Besides, country chickens are way healthier than conventional ones as they are not medicated which can disrupt their hormones.
