Don't buy if you like roast chicken

1 stars

If this is the Stock basted version don't buy it. The amount of (stock?) injected into the chicken was unbelievable. Over half a pint left in the tray which wasn't all chicken juices. On top of that the taste was, well let's just say if you buy it you will only do so once. Very, very, disappointing.

Tastes wonderful - natural ingredients & moist.

5 stars

Excellent. Delicious subtle flavour tastes just like a good home made chicken and it was moist without being soggy. A nice crispy skin and moist flesh. Love the ingredients are so simple - no chemical additives or problematic ingredients. I don't like cooking things in plastic so I took it out of the bag and roasted it at 175C in a fan oven for the time on the bag turning it over for the last half hour. I checked the temperature with a thermometer to make sure it was properly cooked. Next time I won't use the foil tray that came with it as I think it slowed down the cooking of the bottom of the chicken. Next time I will put it in my own roasting tin. Quite a lot of juices came out of it and they were wonderful for making a lovely gravy. Very good value and my husband commented on how good it was. He thought I'd prepared and seasoned it myself and that is (though I say it myself) high praise indeed. Served five portions and was nice the next day cold in a chicken salad sandwich in my home made keto bread. Have just put another one in this week's basket.

disappointing !

2 stars

Disappointed give previous reviews - followed instructions to too and chicken browned nicely but it didn't fall off bone but was chewy as though an older chicken and din't like the taste either - wouldn't buy again!
