Free Range Chicken
Free Range Chicken Breast Skin On
Chicken breast with the skin on is packed with flavour from the skin and when pan fried makes one of the simplest meals.
These free range chicken have smaller breasts as they have plentiful exercise and a natural life and this results in a far superior texture and taste to commercially reared chickens. The difference is stark.

Defrosting
Best: leave it in its vacuum pack on a plate on the bottom shelf of the fridge. Portions take about 12 hours; a whole bird can take 24 hours or more.
Quicker: keep it in the vacuum pack and submerge it in cold tap water, changing the water every 30 minutes. Cook it straight away once defrosted.
Never defrost poultry at room temperature.

Cooking
Always cook poultry thoroughly. It's ready when it is steaming hot all the way through, the juices run clear and there is no pink meat, including near the bone.
Don't wash raw chicken: it splashes bacteria around the kitchen. Rest a whole bird for 15 minutes before carving.
