Product information
Free range - happy and healthy, complete provenance & traceability.
Roast or Air-Fry and serve as a traditional roast for a hearty Sunday lunch or cook with a lemon and herb marinade, salad and new potatoes for a lighter twist.
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,
This see's our farm in various environmental schemes, which helps encourage the biodiversity on our farm, in fact a RSPCA survey on our farm in 2012 showed that the number of different bird species had increased by 300% over a 5 year period!
We have also installed solar panels 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, often lost in today's intensive farming methods. We know you'll enjoy it.

very tasty chicken
Makes very flavoursome chicken soup. I usually cut in half and freeze one part. One star less because of some big feathers left, mainly under the wings. I had to clean it thoroughly. I will definitely buy again especially on the offer.
best chickens
been buying these for years now, always consistently good chickens. makes a great roast and always make stock from the bones.
huge and delicious
Received a 2.7kg chicken - reading the reviews others have received quite small ones so size varies quite a bit. It was absolutely delicious and fed 8 hungry adults. Very impressed with the quality.
excellent quality
This chicken was excellent, huge, moist and tasty. Made a roast and then a pie with the leftover meat. Great value on a flash sale.
Excellent chicken
We really like Packington Chickens and have been buying them regularly when on offer. At 2.5kg this is a BIG chicken. But, I have a sharp paring knife. The boneless and skinless breasts weigh about a lb once removed and will make a curry for 4 each. We roast the legs and wings and use the carcass for stock. Highly recommended... and if you ever see them on a flash sale they are an absolute bargain.
Very Good!
One of the best chickens we've had in a while. Good size, juicy and full of flavour. It was a real hit with the family so will be buying again!
