Carving Instructions To ensure your chicken looks as good as it tastes, here are some useful tips on carving. All you need is a sharp knife and a carving fork to hold the bird safely in position. 1. Lift one end of the drumstick and use it to pull the whole leg away from the body., then cut through the joint between the thigh and the body. 2. Turn the chicken so the neck is facing you. Slice the breast meat evenly, carving into long slices parallel with the breast bone. 3. Hold leg by end of drumstick, slice through joint to separate drumstick and thigh. 4. Drumstick meat can be carved off in a vertical direction. 5. Using carving fork hold thigh in place and carve meat either side of the bone.

I got this in the flash sale. My husband said it was so tasty. I had some flavour, but full of cold, so not best judge, but everyone who had it , enjoyed it. So will buy again.
After cooking there was no chicken flavour as such, just a strange taste. It was a mistake buying this on flash sale. Will continue to purchase organic chicken & just have less of it because of the price.
Amazingly large chicken and so tasty and tender.
l have to admit I cook it in my totally trusted enamel roasting tin, with streaky bacon over the top until its time to crisp the skin, which turns out beautifully and feeds loads plus chicken stock broth in the slow cooker with the bones
