Never over 1.9kg

3 stars

The chicken is fine as poor mass farmed chickens go. What my 'review' is about is I do purely online shopping and have ordered this chicken a goodly amount of times. I have never ever received one over 1.9kg. I always specify in the notes section that I would like the largest, at least 2kg, but alas.. I doubt they have any over 1.9kg Anyone ever got one?

Never had bigger than 1.97kg

3 stars

It was fine but very one is only just over the minimum weight. Over four orders the biggest was 1.97kg

Always on shopping list.

5 stars

Great taste great value. A fabulous find as it feeds 4 adults and always some left for a sandwich.

Wasn’t until I took it out the packaging to cook ,

1 stars

Wasn’t until I took it out the packaging to cook , did I find it still had feathers on it. Poor quality and customer service to say the least. Having to remove feathers before roasting for Sunday lunch meant it was binned.

Large amount of water injected

Cheap.

Dry and tough. Even slow cooked was disappointing.

Tasty

4 stars

I only have chickens from Tescos. I have one every week .They are very tasty and succulent, but you must follow the cooking guidelines. My only fault finding is the 'Use by date'. So frustrating when you have to cook it on the following day!! No good if you want it for a Sunday roast. In all fairness I rang Tescos and they credited me with the cost of the chicken. Thats very good of them, but it still means I have to freeze and defrost the chicken so it will keep until the Sunday. Still would recommend and its great value.

Great chicken

5 stars
