Whole Chicken

About the Cut:
Our fresh whole chickens are sourced from trusted local farms, where animal welfare and quality come first. These birds are slow-grown for a naturally fuller flavour and succulent texture — the kind of quality you only get from your local butcher.

Best Uses:
A whole chicken is one of the most versatile and economical choices for family meals. Roast it for a traditional Sunday dinner, portion it into breasts, thighs, and drumsticks for midweek dishes, or use the carcass to make rich homemade stock. Every bit can be put to good use.

Cooking Tips:

• Roast: Rub with butter, herbs, and seasoning, then cook at 190°C for around 20 minutes per 500g plus 20 minutes. Rest before carving for juicy, tender meat.

• Portion: Use the breasts for quick weekday meals, thighs for casseroles, and wings for snacks or stock.

• Storage: Keep refrigerated and cook within 2–3 days, or freeze on the day of purchase.

Why Buy From Us:
Prepared fresh in-store by our butchers, our whole chickens are sourced locally for unbeatable flavour and quality. Buying from Evans Family Foods means supporting local farms and enjoying honest, traceable produce — the way good food should be.
