Gold'n Plump, distributed nationally by St. Cloud, Minn.-based GNP Co., now includes Pesto and Mesquite flavors.

"Today's consumers are looking for more flavor variety and product versatility to make great tasting meals easily for a good value," says Sara Danforth, new product development manager. "Offering on-trend new seasonings of our premium whole chickens in no-touch, convenient, bake-in-bag packaging minimizes preparation and cleanup to maximize family time.”

The Pesto seasoning features a combination of garlic, basil and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese flavors that come to life in a Pesto Chicken and Zucchini Supper Frittata or Cheese Tortellini with Pesto Chicken. The smoky seasonings in the new Mesquite are the perfect complement in a Chicken Chili Mac or Fast Chicken Taco Salad.

On shelf now at grocery stores nationwide, fully trussed and highly trimmed 3.25-pound Gold'n Plump seasoned whole chickens are allergen- and gluten-free and come with a suggested retail price of $7.49.
