This fresh British chicken is a whole halal bird, raised to Red Tractor standards, sold whole or jointed by Online Meat Shop. Every bird is Certified Halal, slaughtered by the non-stunned method, Antibiotic-free and Growth hormone-free. Take it whole for roasting, or jointed, skin-on or skin-off.
Whole or jointed — what's the difference?
Both come from the same halal bird; only how far it's broken down before it reaches you changes. Take it whole for roasting, or ask for it jointed into 2, 4, 8 or 9 pieces.
Every cutting style comes from the same Red Tractor bird — skin-on or skin-off, only the knife work changes.
How is this chicken cut?
Order it whole, or jointed into 2, 4, 8 or 9 pieces. For karahi and curries, ask for it diced — mid, 20-25g or 10-15g.
- Cuts: whole, 2 piece, 4 piece, 8 piece, 9 piece, mid diced, 20-25g diced, 10-15g diced
- Finish: skin-on or skin-off
- Packs: 1 chicken, 3 chickens or 5 chickens
How do I store and defrost this chicken?
Refrigerate this chicken and use it within a day or two, or freeze it on the day it arrives. Allow around 12 hours in the fridge to defrost it fully before you cook.
Cook it through to the bone before serving, whichever cutting style you've chosen.
Cooking this chicken on a barbecue or rotisserie
Can I rotisserie this chicken whole? Yes — a whole bird skewers well; keeping it skin-on lets the fat baste the meat as it turns.
Is it good for the barbecue? Jointed into 8 or 9 pieces, it cooks faster and more evenly than a whole bird — ready for a karahi finish on the grill.
Packs run from a single bird up to 5 chickens. The 1 chicken pack suits a small roast dinner; the 3 or 5 chicken packs cover a bigger gathering or a batch-cooked curry.
Refrigerate this chicken as soon as it arrives and use it within a day or two, or freeze it on the day it arrives.
From frozen, give it around 12 hours in the fridge to defrost fully before cooking.
Chicken Karahi: the small 20-25g diced cut cooks fast and clings to a tomato, ginger-garlic sauce — ideal for a quick karahi.
Rotisserie Roast: spit-roast the whole bird skin-on so the fat self-bastes the skin as it turns.
Grilled Joints: jointed into 8 or 9 pieces, it cooks evenly over direct heat and takes a smoky glaze faster than a whole bird.
Karahi, made with the mid or small diced cut for a quick tomato-based sauce.
Chicken biryani, jointed small so the pieces layer evenly through the rice.
A whole roast dinner, kept skin-on for a classic table bird.
Which cut works best on a rotisserie?
The whole bird, skin-on, is the one for a rotisserie — the skin bastes the meat as it turns and the shape sits evenly on the spit.
What's the best joint for a barbecue?
Ask for it jointed into 8 or 9 pieces; the smaller joints cook through faster and more evenly over direct coals than a whole bird.
Should I defrost it before grilling?
Yes — give it around 12 hours in the fridge to defrost it fully before it goes on the barbecue or rotisserie.
Can I barbecue diced pieces instead of joints?
Yes, the mid diced cut skewers well for kebabs on the barbecue, while larger jointed pieces suit a rotisserie or indirect heat.
