Most chickens are sold without giblets these days, but we include them so you can make the absolute best stock for gravy. Roast dinner heaven!

The best chicken I’ve ever tried – delicious and obviously properly reared
How to prepare
For a 1.8kg chicken, brush with olive oil or butter, season well inside and out, and roast in a 190°C/Gas 5 oven for 20 mins per 500g + 20 mins (until the juices run clear). Baste several times during cooking. Alternatively, poach with stock vegetables for 80 mins.
Storage
Keep refrigerated below 5°C. Once opened, use immediately for best quality. If not required immediately freeze as soon as possible and always within the use by date. Once frozen use within 1 month. Defrost in a fridge and use same day. Do not refreeze.

Reared by Ross Gardner, Blackdown Hills, Devon
Ross Gardner knows a thing or two about how to keep a bird happy. For almost 50 years, his family has reared poultry on the banks of the River Otter in the Blackdown Hills, East Devon – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We enjoy Ross’s plump organic ducks throughout the year, and look forward to his traditional turkeys and geese every Christmas.
