While pork is the heart and soul of our operation at Woody’s Bar-B-Q – from our Smokin’ Spare Ribs and Signature Baby Backs to our Sliced Bar-B-Q Pork and Carolina Pulled Pork, our expertly seasoned, slow-smoked Bar-B-Q Chicken has been a major contender from the start. And with good reason…

  • Chicken Can Improve Brain Function: Chicken is packed with vitamins and minerals that can have a positive impact on our health. Where the brain is concerned, Vitamin B-12 and Choline can help improve cognitive performance in older adults and aid in brain development in little ones.
  • Chicken is a Mood Booster: According to the National Chicken Council, chicken contains the amino acid tryptophan – which raises those “feel-good” serotonin levels in the brain.
  • Chicken Builds Muscle and Strengthens Bones: An excellent source of high-quality protein, chicken can help you build, maintain and repair muscles while benefiting bone health. This is particularly good news for women. Of the estimated 10 million Americans with reduced bone mass through osteoporosis, more than 80% are female. Phosphorous found in chicken also supports the health of your teeth and bones.
  • Chicken Can Aid in Weight Loss and Management: Another great aspect of being a source of high-quality protein is that it can make you feel full faster – helping you manage your weight and maintain healthy blood sugar levels. The Vitamin B6 found in chicken can also improve metabolism. To get the best benefits from chicken, remove the skin. Our ½ smoked chicken dinner portion is roughly 640 calories, but if you remove the skin, you can cut the fat and caloric intake significantly. And our Classic Tossed Salad – topped with slices of our Mesquite Grilled Chicken Breast – is only 200 calories before you add the dressing of your choice.
  • Chicken Supports Heart Health: Eating lean chicken can aid in the reduction of LDL cholesterol levels, in turn, lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease. As an added benefit, eating lean chicken breast suppresses and controls a body’s homocysteine amino acid levels which, if left unchecked and climb too high, can lead to heart disease.

And that’s not all! The niacin found in chicken helps guard against cancer and its retinol, alpha and beta-carotene, and lycopene all support eye health. Perhaps one of the best things about chicken – besides its health benefits and flavor – is its versatility. It can be prepared in a wide variety of ways. At Woody’s Bar-B-Q alone, we have an astounding thirteen chicken items on our menu. Here are the highlights…

Chicken Tenders – A big hit with kids of all ages, our tasty chicken tenders are served with your choice of dipping sauce.

Woody’s Wings – Our slow-smoked wings come tossed in your choice of Mild, Hot, Cajun Ranch or Dallas sauce.
