Organic Whole Chicken
Fantastic, fuss-free and always a winner
Whether you're keeping things simple or spicing them up with inventive flavours, a good, old-fashioned roast chicken will always satisfy. Combining crispy skin with succulent breast and flavoursome brown meat, there's plenty going on in a roast chicken to appeal to everyone's tastes. The fact that it's not hard to cook, but the results are second to none makes this a real win-win for Sunday lunch. Tempting leftovers are an added bonus, as are the carcass and giblets: perfect for creating light broths or tasty stocks and gravies.
Includes giblets in a separate package.

As a nation, we've grown used to eating a lot of chicken. It's tasty, lean and versatile so it's easy to understand why it's so popular. Unfortunately, popularity has encouraged intensive farming practices that are less than ideal for the birds and can result in low-quality meat for the consumer. At Coombe Farm Organic, animal welfare and top-grade products are both important to us. So we sell only organic, free-range chicken from birds that have had the liberty to roam, forage and roost according to their natural instincts. An active life keeps our chickens healthy and results in richly flavoured meat with well-defined texture.
- Supplied: Insulated box at -18°C

-
Our products are sent to our customers frozen because when we started the business we looked into convenience for our customers. We found that sending the produce frozen meant that they could order for instance a month’s worth of produce and could go into their freezer until they are ready to use it. It also meant that there was less risk to the meat whilst been delivered as fresh meat can be delicate and risky.
-
All of our meat is butchered in house. In December 2018 our in-house butcher was built which means that we have full control of what is cut and also means that we can accommodate more requests from our customers.
You will find all the ingredients on the relevant product pages.
-
We have a dedicated page which explains all the different cuts and where they come from. Find out more here www.coombefarmorganic.co.uk
Can't Find the Answer?
If you cannot find the answer to your question and would like to speak to someone contact us and we will be happy to help.
For ultimate ease, remove your chicken from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature. Pat the skin dry and liberally season with salt and pepper. Put into an oven preheated to 180˚C for 20 minutes to start the skin crisping, then reduce to 160˚C. A 1.4kg bird will take about an hour and a half in total, but start testing it a little bit earlier. You'll know it's ready when the juices in the thickest parts of the meat run clear when pierced with a skewer or when the legs readily pull away from the body. Let your chicken rest (wrapped in foil to keep it warm) for at least twenty minutes before serving. That'll give it a chance to reabsorb all the juices, making it beautifully succulent.

Maybe my portions are small but I always get way more portions out of these lovely big chickens. I find the organic meat more filling than flabby supermarket chicken.

Really lovely organic chicken. Made a Pollo alla Romano with it. Beautifully boxed and staff excellent especially George.

Beautifully boxed and staff excellent especially George. The only thing I would say is that I would have said the size was more of a medium size rather than a large. I did add a couple of organic chicken breasts to ithe dish and there were only 4 of us. Apart from that it was great .

Very tasty, very little fat, good texture to the meat. Reasonable value for money but same product can be bought cheaper at other retailers. Very tasty, very little fat, good texture to the meat. Reasonable value for money but same product can be bought cheaper at other retailers.

You can certainly taste the difference. Also when defrosted. It wasn't sitting in a pool of water and shrunk to half its size. It was still beautifully plump You can certainly taste the difference.
