Great chicken

5 stars

Great chicken, always a long date. Very tasty. Never had a problem and don’t understand the bad reviews.

Disappointing

1 stars

I had a free to roam chicken[doesn't seem to be available now.] It was rotten the smell was awful went straight in the bin. In these tricky times its difficult to complain in person

Required for next Sunday's Lunch please check date

Required for next Sunday's Lunch please check date is ok

Disgusting old and inedible chicken

1 stars

this chicken was a substitute for a roast in the bag one, I have never seen a more sad looking chicken in my life, all floppy and not good colour. Reluctantly I went ahead and cooked it for our Sunday lunch but when it was cooked I could not bring myself to eat it, the meat was not nice and the smell was horrible - this went straight into the bin I will never buy chicken from Tesco again. I feel as if I have bought a chicken that was old and that should not have been for human consumption I didnt even give it to my dogs! Very very disappointed. Suggest Tesco look for a new supplier of their chickens and check the environment they are living in.

XL size is large-ish & Use By date too soon

3 stars

Good taste thought the size of the XL been dropping in recent weeks to what I would call a Large-ish & the Use By date is nowhere near 4 days: I cook it as soon as it arrives. This is the downside of online shopping: in-store I would choose a bigger one & a better Use By date, in which case I might have given this 5 stars.

Chicken was out of date in 1 day

1 stars

The web site shows that the product (chicken) will be OK for 4 days plus. I've gone to put it in the oven today, 3 days plus to find that it went out of date on the 4th which was only one day after the order was delivered. I will be very reluctant to buy a chicken from Tesco again online.

This is the second time I have had a Tesco chicken

1 stars

This is the second time I have had a Tesco chicken that smelt off from Tesco. I now have to scramble around for something else for tea. Will not buy again

This chicken is plump, juicy, tasty and a much better buy than the size down.

Check product weight

Good tasty chicken but marked as XL and sometimes below the stated weight range.
