1/23/26 TWICE AS NICE CHICKEN WITH RABBIT RIDGE FARMS

Join us Friday, January 23, 2026, from 6:00-8:00 pm for a cooking class with Angela and Alan Mahan of Rabbit Ridge Farms as they bring you Twice as Nice Chicken Night - a cozy and confidence-building cooking class where we turn one beautiful whole chicken into two delicious meals.

First, you’ll learn how to season, roast, and carve a whole chicken like a pro—no stress, no fancy equipment required. We’ll pair it with simple, crowd-pleasing sides you can easily recreate at home.  

Then we’ll take it a step further and show you how to transform the leftover chicken into a comforting, flavor-packed soup using a signature mix carried right here in the store. You’ll see how to stretch one meal into two while saving time, money, and ingredients.

You’ll leave with:

• Skills to confidently roast and carve a whole chicken
  
• Tips for getting the most out of your ingredients
  
• Step-by-step guidance for turning leftovers into something extraordinary
  
• Recipes to take home
  
• A delicious meal enjoyed together
  

This is a perfect for busy families, new cooks, or anyone who loves making good food go further!

Classes typically run for two hours and include all dishes you and the chef prepare.     

You will be provided with water to drink, and we do sell soft drinks, mineral water and some other beverages at Eggshells, but you are also welcome to bring any beverage of your choice.  

Reserve a spot by calling us at 501-664-6900 or checking out right here in our online store!

All ticket sales are final.  Due to food prep, planning, different chefs and food costs, tickets cannot be transferred to any future classes.  You may transfer your seat to someone else for the same date/class.

Farmer Alan is the engine that keeps Rabbit Ridge Farms running. A lifelong cattleman with a deep respect for the land, Alan raises cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep on pasture using regenerative practices that build soil health and create some of the cleanest, most flavorful meat you can buy. Known for his straightforward wisdom, dry humor, and big heart, Alan has become a favorite among visitors to the farm—especially kids who love hearing “Farmer Alan stories.” He believes farming should be transparent, humane, and grounded in old-school values, and everything he does reflects that. Alan’s specialty? Producing exceptional meat through low-stress, ethical care—and reminding people why knowing their farmer matters.
