Free Range Whole Chicken

A free-range whole chicken is a versatile centrepiece for a traditional roast, family dinner or a batch-cooking session. Find it at The Butcher’s Blade in Sandbach, Cheshire, for a classic meal that can be enjoyed hot and used in plenty of ways afterwards.

How to roast: Follow the cooking instructions for the bird’s weight and ensure it is thoroughly cooked and piping hot throughout. Rest before carving for easier serving and juicy meat.

Make the most of it: Serve with roast potatoes, vegetables and gravy, then use leftover cooked chicken in sandwiches, salads, soups, curries or pasta dishes.

For quality poultry from your local Sandbach butcher, a whole chicken is a practical choice for everyday cooking and Sunday lunch. Check the label for storage and cooking advice.
