This NOT a large chicken!! Won't be buying again

Dreadful

1 stars

A Tesco Customer28th March 2021

Call this a large chicken dread to think what the small one is like had this on home delivery would never have brought this had I been in the store ( had to date one star otherwise couldn't post review deserves none)

Believe the bad reviews for this chicken

2 stars

A Tesco Customer26th March 2021

Like other people have said. I have been having this chicken for along time now, but in the last 3 weeks, (as I buy this chicken on a weekly basis) I have noted that it is bruised and bloody, and some of the meat isn't a good colour. Very off putting. For the chicken to be like this, I believe they have been cruelly treated. I will NOT be buying this chicken again, and will probably end up paying more at the local butcher.

Shrinking chuck.

3 stars

A Tesco Customer18th March 2021

I have been ordering these chickens for a long time and although they have a good flavour and juicy meat the average weight has reduced. The weight I receive now is usually just over 1.6Kg, as the price is the same for all weights 1.5 -1.9Kg I do feel a little short changed to say the least. I always order online and have the shopping delivered.

Misleading shelf life promise again.

A Tesco Customer4th February 2021

Advertised as 6+ days, the chicken delivered had only 2 days before the use by date. This arrived on Thursday, so we can't even keep it for a Sunday roast. This has happened with our deliveries before. Product shelf life promises from Tesco just can't be trusted.

Have been unable to get any free range/corn fed/ro

A Tesco Customer2nd February 2021

Have been unable to get any free range/corn fed/room to roam chicken for many months now. Bought one of these and the skin was battered and bruised and tasted poor. Why is Tesco not providing higher animal welfare options?

Should have noted product reviews

1 stars

A Tesco Customer2nd February 2021

Very disappointed, expected a large chicken and received a small one. Guess who is having yet another veggie roast dinner ☹️

Lovely chicken
