Free
range chicken, slow grown to high welfare standards on our family farm in
Staffordshire.
We remember how chicken used to taste when we were
kids, and it’s a standard we’re committed to bringing back. Chicken that is
full of flavour, delicious and tender - we're bringing back the best!
All Packington Free Range Chickens roam free on established English
pasture, consisting of various grasses and clovers, with strategically placed
perches and shelters offering shade, food and water. It’s an idyllic setting
and one which every Packington Free Range bird experiences. Reared longer,
for a great taste, consistently.
Ethical family business, with complete provenance and traceability.
Ensuring high welfare, and environmental sustainability.
Free range – happy and healthy, always.

Preparation and Usage
Cut
from the juicy and flavourful part of the chicken, our thighs are versatile
and easy to cook. Whether you grill, bake, sauté, or fry them, they come out
moist and packed with flavour. They're perfect for family dinners, but also
work well in salads, sandwiches, and casseroles.
Cook from chilled. Remove from fridge 20 minutes before cooking.
Preheat oven: 190°C / Fan 170°C / Gas Mark 5.
Place the chicken on a roasting tray, season, cover loosely with foil and
cook for 25-30 minutes.
To check the chicken is cooked, insert a skewer into the thickest part of
the portion. If the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked. If they run
pink, return to the oven for a further 5 minutes and re-test.
Remove from the oven and rest for 10 minutes.

At Packington Free Range we firmly believe that what is good for the
animals and the land will naturally be good for us and better for our
customers. This is the philosophy of our great grandfather before us and we
believe passionately in provenance, sustainable and ethical farming which
fuels our drive to create an environmentally sound and welfare orientated
farm.
Our farms are in various environmental schemes, and we believe in farming
in a way that increases regeneration and biodiversity, all having a positive
impact on the land and on the animals. Regular surveys on our farms show that
the number of different birds and wildlife species increases year on year. We
have installed solar panels and use bio-mass boilers to help further reduce
our carbon footprint. All of this allows us to continue to farm the land
here, in Staffordshire, for generations to come.
It's this simple philosophy that enables us to produce the most succulent,
richly flavoured meat that we know you'll enjoy.

Opened these 2 days before the use by date and they had a smell that meant I didn't feel comfortable eating them. I'm starting to think that Ocado are unable to supply food that hasn't gone off.
I got these as they were on offer and we really noticed the difference from our usual choice much more meat and if really good quality. One might expect that, paying the higher cost for organic meat but- I always do, and its definitely not always this good!
