Ocado Organic British Chicken Drumsticks. Fresh class A. Skin on.
Our Ocado Organic chickens are reared on British farms, with the freedom
to forage outdoors and an enriched environment in their shelters. They
are fed on a non-GM, certified organic diet.
Because our chickens
are active, explore the outdoors and are reared for longer, they
develop a firmer texture with fuller flavour.
There may be a
slight odour on opening which will quickly disappear. This is normal and
does not affect the quality or flavour of the chicken.

I've found these chicken legs to be consistently good and tasty. Plus they're produced to Soil Association standards, which means that the chickens have got even more space to roam than with other organic standards.
The packet of these I received were very boney legs with little meat. I normally get around a 50-60% meat yield by weight, but these were only around 40%.
The other thing I noticed, which I've not experienced with other brands (organic or not) are little brown blood clots throughout the drumstick. I'm wondering if that's the "brown blob" referred to in an earlier review. They're fine, and safe etc, but still strange to see them and doesn't feel like the butchery was done with care.
Like a lot of Ocado's organic chicken, the meat was tough. The flavour was okay, but really lacking compared to other brands' offerings. I guess you get what you pay for, as the other brands are a bit more expensive.
I got this on a flash sale so it was good value. I cooked the chicken in a stew and found the meat tender and flavoursome. But then again it could be the stew!
