Whole Chicken – Perfect for Roasting & Family Meals

Succulent, full of flavour and wonderfully versatile – a proper whole chicken for a delicious family roast.

Nothing brings people together quite like a beautifully roasted whole chicken. At The Black Farmer, we believe in quality meat, great flavour and good food enjoyed around the table.

Our Whole Chicken is a versatile kitchen favourite, offering tender, juicy meat that's perfect for a traditional Sunday roast, hearty family dinners or preparing several delicious meals throughout the week.

Roast with garlic, lemon and fresh herbs for a classic British favourite, or bring a little Caribbean spirit to your kitchen with a bold jerk marinade. However you choose to cook it, this whole chicken is a brilliant centrepiece for any occasion.

Why Choose Our Whole Chicken?

  • Tender & Full of Flavour – Perfect for roasting to golden perfection with deliciously succulent meat.

  • Ideal for Family Meals – A versatile centrepiece for Sunday lunches and everyday dinners.

  • Excellent Value – Enjoy a traditional roast, then use any leftovers for sandwiches, soups, curries or salads.

  • Versatile Cooking Options – Roast whole, spatchcock, slow-cook or season with your favourite Caribbean-inspired spices.

  • Suitable for Freezing – Ideal for stocking up and planning meals ahead.

Cooking Inspiration

For a traditional roast, season generously with sea salt, black pepper, garlic, thyme and butter before roasting until golden and cooked through.

For something with a little more attitude, coat your chicken in jerk seasoning, leave to marinate and roast until beautifully browned. Serve with coconut rice and peas, fried plantain and fresh slaw for a Caribbean-inspired family feast.

Storage: Keep refrigerated and follow the use-by date on the packaging. Suitable for freezing in accordance with pack instructions. Always cook thoroughly until the thickest part reaches 75°C, with no pink meat remaining.

Always ensure the chicken is fully defrosted before cooking. Cook until piping hot and juices run clear.

Oven Cooking (from chilled):
1. Preheat oven to 190 °C / Fan 170 °C / Gas 5.
2. Remove all packaging and place the chicken joint in a roasting tin.
3. Lightly brush with oil or melted butter and season as desired.
4. Cover loosely with foil to retain moisture.
5. Roast according to weight:
• 1.2 kg: 1 hour 40 minutes
• 1.5 kg: 1 hour 55 minutes
• 2.0 kg: 2 hours 15 minutes
• 2.5 kg: 2 hours 35 minutes
6. Remove foil for the final 20–25 minutes to allow browning.
7. Ensure the core temperature of both chicken and stuffing reaches 75 °C.
8. Rest for 10–15 minutes before carving to keep it moist and tender.

Keep refrigerated between 0°C – 5°C.
Once opened, consume within 24 hours.
If frozen, defrost thoroughly in the refrigerator before cooking.
Do not refreeze after defrosting.

Vacuum-packed/pouched for freshness. Recyclable packaging. Please rinse and recycle where possible.
