Cooking & Serving Suggestions

There’s nothing quite like the smell of a beautiful roast chicken cooking on Christmas Day!

Season your chicken with salt and pepper, add a little butter and your favourite herbs, and roast until the skin is golden and crisp and the meat is thoroughly cooked.

For food safety, check that the thickest part of the chicken reaches 75°C, avoiding the bone when taking the temperature.

Allow the chicken to rest before carving.

Serve with crispy roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, stuffing and plenty of delicious homemade gravy.
