This whole British Free-Range chicken is Certified Halal and slaughtered by the non-stunned method, sold anywhere from a single bird up to a 5 Chicken pack. Cut to order — whole, jointed or diced — and left skin-on or skinned, it's a solid base for a roast, a curry or a tandoori marinade.
Does This Chicken Only Come as a Whole Bird?
Not here: the same bird comes Whole, or jointed into 2 Piece, 4 Piece, 8 Piece or 9 Piece portions, or diced Mid, 20-25g Small Diced or 10-15g Very Small Diced.
Pack size ranges from 1 Chicken to 5 Chickens, so a big jointed order and a single roasting bird are really the same product, just specified differently at checkout.
Cuts, Finish and Pack Sizes
Pick the joint at checkout — Whole, 2 Piece, 4 Piece, 8 Piece or 9 Piece — or ask for it diced Mid, 20-25g Small Diced or 10-15g Very Small Diced.
- Finish: Skin-On or Skin-Off
- Pack: 1 Chicken, 3 Chickens or 5 Chickens
A 9 Piece bird works well for a mixed grill, and the 10-15g Very Small Diced cut sears fast for a tandoori pan.
How Is This Chicken Sourced?
Every bird is slaughtered by the non-stunned method, reared Antibiotic-free and Growth hormone-free, and sold as a Free-Range, British bird throughout.
These standards hold across every pack size and every cutting style listed above, not just the whole bird.
Order by bird count rather than weight — a 1 Chicken pack suits a small household roast, while a 5 Chicken pack covers a large gathering or a batch-cooked curry.
A jointed 9 Piece bird splits into enough portions for a family meal from a single pack.
Give it around 12 hours to defrost fully, ideally in the fridge rather than at room temperature.
Once defrosted, cook it promptly rather than refreezing raw poultry.
Tandoori spatchcock: marinate a Whole bird overnight, then grill or oven-roast until the skin blisters.
Karahi diced: the 10-15g Very Small Diced cut sears fast in a hot pan for a quick weeknight curry.
Skin-off traybake: Skin-Off 8 Piece portions roast nicely with root vegetables for a lighter finish.
This bird suits tandoori chicken, chicken karahi, biryani and a simple Sunday roast, depending on the joint or dice size you choose.
A 9 Piece jointed bird also works for a mixed grill or bbq platter — Skin-On for extra char, Skin-Off for a lighter plate.
What can I do with the carcass after carving a Whole bird?
Simmer the frame with the neck and wing tips for a stock base — handy for a karahi or soup before the next tandoori-style meal.
Do the jointed cuts still leave bones for stock?
The 2 Piece and 4 Piece joints keep the main bones, so they work for a slow braise or stock just like a Whole bird.
Is there a carcass at all with the diced cuts?
Mid, 20-25g and 10-15g diced portions are boneless pieces cut from the bird, so there's no frame left to simmer once that style is chosen.
What about the carcasses from a multi-bird pack?
Frames from a 3 Chicken or 5 Chicken pack can be frozen and combined later for a bigger batch of stock rather than used one at a time.
