In 1958, Jamaicans would raise chickens in their backyards and sell live birds to neighbours, family and friends. The idea of buying a chicken that was already plucked and cleaned—‘dressed’ and ready for seasoning—was unheard of.
Sydney Levy’s dream was to change all that and provide the convenience of dressed chickens to all Jamaican households.
The idea soon caught on and Jamaicans began to request the succulent, tasty and economical ‘dressed’ chicken by name, giving birth to ‘The Best Dressed Chicken’ in town!
The Best Dressed Chicken has grown over the years, always remaining true to the core values of integrity, fairness and commitment to serving our people at the highest standards and with quality products. We are grateful to the Lord for His guidance and favour over the years and look forward to a bright future with our team members, families, communities and our beloved nation.
