Nothing says summer like food on a stick. Well, maybe a few things do. But food on a stick is always fun with little to no cleanup required and, best of all, you can eat it with your hands. So why not kick off the summer cookout season with a platter of chicken kabobs this weekend? Kabobs are fast to grill and fun and delicious to eat. Plus with our various marinades, there’s a kabob for everyone at your table – even the kids! On Friday, May 27 – for one day only – all U.S. Whole Foods Market stores will have marinated and plain chicken kabobs on sale for $3.99/pound (limit 10 per customer). Made in-house with fresh veggies and chicken, these aren’t just any kabobs. With our chicken, you get great-tasting meat from animals raised with care:

• No antibiotics, ever.
• No animal byproducts in feed.
• 5-Step™ Animal Welfare Rated to certify our producers' animal welfare practices.
