Packington Free Range Whole Chicken– “This was a delicious chicken. There was a good flavour, the legs had good texture, and the bones were well developed and were worth using later for stock.”
Frenchbeer Farm, Super Small Whole Turkey – “I really enjoyed this small turkey. It cooked well, and the skincrisped had a really good flavour, with the meat having a pretty subtle, but a nice gamey, turkey flavour.”
Lidl Birchwood, Roast in Bag Garlic & Herb Chicken – “This had good cooking instructions that actually worked! The chicken retained a good chicken flavour, with the marinade working to enhance this. A delicious chicken easy to cook and perfect for a busy family.”
