CHICKEN

Chicken breast with the skin on is packed with flavour from the skin and when pan fried makes one of the simplest meals. These free range chicken have smaller breasts as they have plentiful exercise and a natural life and this results in a far superior texture and taste to commercially reared chickens. The difference is stark.

Our chicken stir fry strips are made from slices of our chicken thighs. These thin strips are designed so they can be cooked very quickly over an intense heat. When stir fried these strips have a large surface area and so colour really easily without having to over cook the middle of the chicken. We use thighs for our stir fry strips as these are less prone to drying out in the heat of a wok and have much better flavour. These stir fry strips can take a strong marinade. Due to the way they are sliced these absorb and coat easily in any sticky liquid you stir fry them in. A great meal in minutes.

Our free range chicken thighs we think are really special. Our chickens spend almost all their lives wondering around diverse pastures and native hedgerows. This life on their legs leads to them having strong and well worked legs that creates such spectacular thigh meat. Our chicken thighs are so diverse and brilliant for anything from the barbecue to slow braising. These are also great value and we think the best of all chicken cuts. Our go to!

Our free range chicken wings are superb value and amazing on the barbecue. Marinate overnight for a flavour packed treat. Wings make a great finger food as well and are perfect for any dinner party. These slow grown chickens are free to roam and use their wings often and so have developed proper muscles and thick skin that make these so good for crispy chicken wings. The difference eating a proper chicken makes is well worth it for the perfect barbecue.

Spatchcocked so it cooks evenly and fast, and marinated in a proper fiery peri peri - bird's eye chilli, garlic, lemon and paprika. This is a marinade that needs a chicken with enough flavour of its own to stand up to it, which is exactly what our slow grown free range birds have. Cook over hot coals, turning regularly, or roast hard in the oven. Serve with something cooling alongside.

Superbly simple supper and capable of producing a show stopping dinner party centrepiece. These skinless chicken breasts are great for a light and low fat meal. Perfectly tender and yet packed full of flavour our free range chicken breasts are fine grained. Most supermarket chicken is wet, bland and flavourless and ours are completely different to that. The dark redder colour to the meat is proof that our chickens are not pushed to grow fast and given a proper diverse natural diet. The proof is in the eating.

Drumsticks are a properly underappreciated cut with a great bone to meat ratio, which means flavour from top to bottom. Ours come from free range birds that spend their lives on their legs, so the meat is firm and full of flavour rather than soft and bland. Marinated in soy, honey and mustard - salt, sweetness and a bit of sharpness, which is everything a drumstick wants. Roast or barbecue, turning regularly until caramelised and cooked through.

Whole free range chickens with the giblets. The thicker yellow skin, that is the sign of a healthy chicken, is the secret to getting a great crispy outside. This is real chicken as it really should be. Our slow grown chickens are given the time to develop and this creates the perfect bird for a great Sunday roast or a delicious casserole for a comforting winter meal. Chicken like this is extremely rare nowadays and we are extremely proud to source the very finest chicken we think the UK has to offer. Free range, we think, is a massively overused term and we want to show the difference between what people call free range, and what we call really free range. Try this and you'll see this is nothing like any supermarket chicken.
