All of our Whole Chickens follow Higher Welfare guidelines so that you can be sure you receive meat that has incredible taste and flavour, while safe in the knowledge you’re purchasing a hen that has lived a happy life.
Before cooking, season with salt, pepper and a choice of herbs and spices to get the best tasting Whole Chicken.
Loved for its versatility and subtle flavours, whole chicken provides a variety of cuts, each suited to different cooking methods – whether you prefer grilling, roasting, pan-frying, or deep-frying, getting familiar with chicken cuts can improve the flavour and quality of your meals!
Nothing beats a classic roast, and our 1.9kg Whole Chicken is just the bird for the job. Sourced from trusted, higher-welfare farms and prepared by our expert butchers, it’s plump, juicy, and packed with natural flavour. Roast at 180°C for around 1 hour 40 minutes, or until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 75°C. Always let it rest for 15–20 minutes before carving, it helps keep everything tender and juicy.
Want to take it up a notch? Rub the skin with butter, garlic, and herbs, or stuff with lemon and rosemary for added flavour. Serve with roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and a rich gravy for a guaranteed family favourite.
Leftovers are just as versatile! Spare chicken is ideal for sandwiches, salads, or simmering into homemade stock. Keep refrigerated for up to 2 days, or freeze on arrival to enjoy later.
Whether it’s a Sunday lunch or a midweek roast, this is proper chicken done right, every time!
