The company website describes a family business that has supplied fresh, all-natural specialty Asian-style chicken to Chinese and Vietnamese communities in Southern California for 30 years. According to the site, the owners' parents came from Vietnam, missed the rustic flavor and firmer texture of farm chicken there, partnered with a local farm, and opened a first specialty chicken shop in San Diego called Wing Lee Poultry & Meat. Later stores followed in Orange County and then a larger poultry company outside Los Angeles. Products are sold under the Wing Lee and Wenglee brands, including a Wing Lee Signature Brown Chicken described on the site as its best chicken.

Contact numbers differ between records. The federal record lists (909) 536-1886, while the website's wholesale page lists telephone (909) 628-2888, fax (909) 628-6588, and email addresses chickens@wingleefarms.com and chickens@wenglee.com. The website names Wenglee Farms as the exclusive distributor of Wing Lee and Wenglee chickens. Hours, pricing, and any custom or on-farm processing arrangements are not stated in the sources on file.

Halves, quarters, bundles, online ordering, and direct home delivery are not mentioned in the sources.

If you are buying a half or quarter animal, the plant is where the animal is processed; the farm sells you the animal. Read how to buy a half cow for the sequence and the math.
