Description

Our Free Range Whole Chicken is a Barlows staple – a fresh, plump bird of approximately 1.6kg, sourced from free range producers and prepared by our fourth-generation Nottinghamshire butchers with the care and attention that quality poultry deserves. Free range chickens are raised with access to outdoor space and a more natural diet, resulting in a bird with noticeably better flavour, firmer texture and superior eating quality compared to intensively reared alternatives. At Barlows, we believe welfare and quality go hand in hand – and our whole chicken is proof of exactly that. For a perfect Sunday roast, season generously inside and out with salt, pepper and Butter, stuff the cavity with a halved lemon, fresh thyme and a bulb of garlic, and roast at 200°C for approximately 20 minutes per 500g plus an extra 20 minutes. Always rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. Serve with roasted potatoes, seasonal vegetables and a rich gravy made from the roasting juices. A free range bird, roasted properly – Sunday dinner perfection from your trusted Nottinghamshire family butcher.
