Happy National Hot Dog Day! 🌭

Here's something a lot of people don't realize: unless it's labeled "all beef," there's a good chance your hot dog contains chicken, helping to make possible one of America's favorite icons.

Just don't put ketchup on it unless you're under the age of 18.

@MeatInstitute There's a really good video out there about proper hot dog etiquette.

Nuggets aren't just for kids anymore. From protein-packed frozen options to farm-fresh, whole-grain varieties, today's chicken nuggets are proving comfort food can grow up too. At some brands, more than half of nugget buyers are adults without kids at home. 🦕https://t.co/5lM1aCz8ah via @taste_cooking

44% of adults are trying to increase protein intake — and chicken checks every box: affordable, versatile, real-food credibility. Catch the full conversation on winning the protein moment at the 2026 Chicken Marketing Summit, July 27-29 in Palm Harbor, FL 👉 https://t.co/z72gQCsv7B @WATTAgNet

We are saddened by the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham. As a longtime member of the Congressional Chicken Caucus, he understood the importance of poultry to South Carolina and to America's farm families. Our thoughts are with his family, staff, and the people of South Carolina during this difficult time.

Thank you @SecRollins, @DepSecVaden for planning to address 3 Biden-era regulations that threaten to dismantle an efficient and successful industry model that rewards farmers and helps keep chicken affordable for American consumers: https://t.co/zZrxRt54bk

🍗Happy National Fried Chicken Day! 🇺🇸And what better way to celebrate than cheering on the @USMNT as they take on Belgium in the World Cup Round of 16 tonight!

Crispy, juicy, American fried chicken + soccer = the perfect match-day combo. Fuel up and root hard for the Stars & Stripes. Let’s go USA! Bring home the win. #NationalFriedChickenDay #USMNT #GoUSA

[National Chicken Council 🍗 @chickencouncil]

Appreciate you bringing this up. Woody breast is a known quality issue in a small % of birds. It makes the meat tougher and stringier, but it’s 100% safe to eat. We’re pouring serious money into research right now (working with universities and USDA) to understand why it happens and how to reduce it further. Processors catch & divert most of it before it hits shelves. More here: https://t.co/Vnhkd5Hw4S

This Fourth of July marks 250 years of American independence. We’re grateful for the farmers, workers, and families who help fuel the cookouts and backyard celebrations — one wing and drumstick at a time. From all of us at NCC, Happy 4th — and Happy 250th, America! #ChickenUSA

[National Chicken Council 🍗 @chickencouncil]

The big number this weekend is 250. When you're at the grill, the magic number is 165°F — the safe internal temp for chicken. A few grilling reminders: always marinate raw chicken in the refrigerator, and never put cooked chicken back on the plate that held it raw. Safe grilling, happy 4th! 🇺🇸🍗More tips: https://t.co/GNj7ecFSOD

Thank you @CongressmanGT for working to expand & modernize the H-2A ag guest worker program. Among other provisions, the Securing Agriculture’s Workforce Act would expand eligible ag activities to include portions of meat harvesting & protein processing: https://t.co/u7X1urjiPe

.@SenateAg last week released an initial draft of its Farm Bill proposal. When debate begins, we're hopeful that an amendment is introduced & adopted that would make rotisserie chicken eligible to SNAP recipients. The same amendment passed in the House version by an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 384-35. #FarmBill
