Our chickens come ready to roast but here are a few pointers to get the most out of your bird:
- Preheat oven to 220°C/ 430°F/Gas 8.
- Remove chicken from fridge an hour before cooking. Place in roasting tray & season. Insert Pop-Up Timer according to instructions.
- Our chickens have a lovely layer of fat so there is no need to add butter or oil.
- Pop your herbs into the cavity of the bird, or you could scatter half over the top.
- Place in the oven and cook for 20 minutes before reducing oven temperature to 180°C/360°F/Gas 4, cook for approx. 15 minutes per 500g.
- If using foil, remove foil 15 minutes before end to ensure crispy skin.
- Remove chicken from oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
