Extra Large Roasting Chicken
Extra large ‘capon-style’ chicken. Dense, dark and flavour-packed meat from the ultimate in ethically farmed chicken.
Farmed by us within a few hundred metres of the butchery. The birds live in mobile housing designed to follow the farm’s pasture-fed cattle as they graze and fertilize the soil. This low-intensity rotational system acts to improve soil health whilst providing the chicken with constant access to outdoor space, new feeding areas and a natural and varied diet.
Our extra-large free-range chicken are reared to a minimum of 120 days, higher even than organic standards. Once fully mature the birds are processed and expertly prepared in our own butchery. By handling every step of the process of rearing and processing we are able to ensure our pastured whole chicken meet the highest possible welfare standards as well as delivering superior flavour.
Our extra-large roasting chicken come in a choice of sizes.
3.5kg – 4kg. feeds 6-7 people
4kg – 4.5kg. feeds 8-10 people
All our whole roasting chicken come with giblets – perfect when combined with the cooking juices to make a gravy to accompany your roast.
Soy-free pastured chicken are sold individually. We prepare, pack and ‘fresh-freeze’ them in small batches in order to guarantee they arrive in their best condition. They will be delivered frozen and once unpacked can either be placed straight into the freezer, or removed from the bag and allowed to defrost thoroughly in the fridge before cooking. Once defrosted they can be treated as fresh and should be cooked within 5 days. Any meal made using the defrosted chicken can be refrozen after cooking.
Available for Christmas delivery only. Our extra large chicken can be ordered for delivery on 22nd – 23rd December. For full details on how to order your festive meats can be found by vising our Christmas page here
