Tyson® brand declares chicken the official bird of Friendsgiving
Springdale, Ark. - November 16, 2021 – Please pass the…chicken! As Americans kick-off the holiday season, many are also gearing up for Friendsgiving – a moment to appreciate our friends that matter most. And this year, friends are choosing chicken as their Friendsgiving centerpiece.
