This jointed whole organic chicken is cut into ten pieces - ideal for casseroles.
This is how chickens tasted in days gone by when they foraged naturally for their own food, nipping the tops off grass and even munching the odd insect. Truly free-range, our organic chickens are an old fashioned slow-growing breed. The unique Laverstoke way of farming really makes this chicken taste incredible with a rich depth of flavour and a firm, meaty texture that's distinctively different and very morish.
Serving : 5 - 6
Pieces per-pack : 10
The chicken is good quality, however my mistake was to order the small chicken ready jointed - I was disappointed with the cutting, as I like to keep the breast whole and it is cut across. Breast meat needs far less cooking than the leg, thigh and wing joints. It was, however, well-flavoured, so I will order again, definitely, but with the proviso that I will order the whole chicken and cut it myself. Flavourwise, excellent but I have given 'good' because of the cutting.
We were quite shocked when the chicken arrived as it is literally meat clevered into what seem random bits with the bone attached.
keep reading as HOWEVER..i think we were shocked due to our institutionalised expectations of getting meat all neatly packaged with a lable on it that we normally get from our supermarkets.
After our initial shock we became quite excited. We portioned up, took the bone of the breasts, bagged and popped it most in the freezer. We set out to make chicken stew and some nice stock. We have currently made 4 meals and we still have a massive bag of legs and thigh in the freezer. I THROUGHLY recommend this chicken, its MASSIVE and you can just tell it was a happy clucky chook. Thanks for listening!
This has been re packaged and placed in the freezer. the joints are huge the chicken looks plump well looked after while being reared and I am certain it will be excellant eating.
I am much more than pleased with the entire order I purchased
Now I have found Laverstoke park Farm I will not be purchasing meat from anywhere else
