Tough and tasteless

Disappointing as I love Black Farmer sausages. Over-developed legs and under-developed breast, no discernible flavour.

Chicken as it ought to be

I bought this mainly on the basis that it was free-range, properly reared and a slow growing breed - and all these features surely contributed to its wonderful flavour and succulence. It was excellent & I'll certainly be buying again.

Great chicken

Nice flavour, lovely and tender, and weight was about what I expected. Definitely worth paying the extra, as with the rest of the Black Farmer products I've tried

The most chickeny chicken I have had in ages

I am surprised by the negative review as I have had this a number of times and it is consistently good. I just cook it with half a lemon and some garlic inside, salt and pepper on the skin, and it comes out crispy on the outside, and falling off the bone. Worth the premium

Tough as old boots

The worst chicken I have ever bought - rubbery and tough - glad I did not serve to guests.
