It worked great - very easy, you don't even get out of the car. You just drive up, give them your name, they put a plastic bag down under the box for you and load it up and off you go. </p> <p>The biggest pain is cutting up and storing the chicken. I did a lot of research on how best to freeze chicken, and wound up wrapping each piece in plastic wrap, covering the amount I wanted in one bag with aluminum foil and then storing in a Ziploc freezer bag. With DH working with me, it took about an hour to get it all done. </p> <p>The chicken breasts are butterflied and very large. I wound up with about 12 ziploc bags with 3 pieces of chicken in each. We have made 2 meals and so far the chicken has been great and I will buy from them again.</p> <p>I'm with you, I worry more about preservatives and additives than buying organic in a lot of things, so this appealed to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ordered-from-zaycon#post-2088355 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 11:04:56 +0000 kiddosc 2088355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: Yea, they don't have any additives though. I feel like so much of the chicken available at the store is injected with some sort of "flavor enhancer" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ordered-from-zaycon#post-2088305 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 10:36:34 +0000 coopsmama 2088305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a couple of friends who have used Zaycon and love it. For them the only downside has been having to package the fresh meat into smaller packages before freezing it. </p> <p>It's all conventional meat though, so for folks who prefer organic, grassfed, non-GMO, etc. it's not a great option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ordered-from-zaycon#post-2088299 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 10:34:54 +0000 Alivoo01 2088299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ordered-from-zaycon#post-2088269 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 10:26:49 +0000 kiddosc 2088269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone ever ordered meats from zaycon foods? <a href="https://www.zayconfoods.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.zayconfoods.com/</a></p> <p>I guess the thing is that you can buy fresh meats in bulk at discount prices. You basically sign up for an "event", drive into a parking lot and pick it up. They're doing chicken breast events now for $1.99/lb! I see lots of positive reviews online, but I've heard that they pay for reviews, so I was just wondering if anyone has IRL experience with them. </p>
