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!

Followed the instructions, but gave it extra time

2 stars

Followed the instructions, but gave it extra time in the oven once the bag had been removed. Found that the juices were running pink and lots of watery liquid came out and it was still undercooked. It had to be returned to the oven for a further 25 mins, by which time I did not want to eat it.

Excellent value and beautifully moist.

5 stars

I was very surprised how moist this chicken turned out to be. I followed the instructions until the end where I added an extra 5 minutes on cooking with the bag cut right off the top to expose all the skin and I also put the temperature up to get a nice crispy skin. There was a fair bit of juice/water so don’t put into to shallower dish in case the bag splits and it spills out. Excellent value for money.

Worth a try(especially if on offer)

4 stars

It was tasty, too much water added to chicken, but adjust cooking to suit and make a good curry with the leftovers.

For a roast in the bag chicken I thought it was ex

5 stars

For a roast in the bag chicken I thought it was excellent. Didn’t bother to carve it as it was so tender, had the breast meat hot with veggie gravy and vegetables and the rest cold in a salad.

Cut the bag earlier and remove excess water

3 stars

I bought this at a large discount so I'm overall satisfied, however it was the first time, so I underestimated how much water/chicken juice you end up with. I see why people say it may look a bit disgusting. What I would do next time is after 40 mins go, remove the bag overall, pour out 90% of the juice and crank up the grill function on the oven so the bottom doesn't come back like it's chicken from soup vs. from your grill.

No crispy skin

2 stars

Followed the instructions to a T and chicken was so full of water that the skin just would not crisp up. Even left the chicken in oven for half an hour more and it still had soggy skin which was a real shame as was looking forwards to a nice crispy roast chicken. however meat inside was nice and moist

yes, it's a good buy
