The Chicken in a Barrel Fundraiser is held annually the first Saturday in June, at the Murphys Community Park. All proceeds from this much-beloved local tradition benefit the children of Michelson Elementary School.
Our chicken is a family-favorite. This is the most juicy, tender and rich tasting chicken you'll ever have. Everyone is raving about Pit Barrel® chicken!
