Corn-Fed Spatchcock Chicken, Fresh, +/-1.5kg

Introducing Our Corn-Fed Spatchcock Chicken!

Spatchcock chicken is a butterflied bird, whose backbone has been removed (saving you the bother of a skilful and tedious job) to allow quick cooking. Our Corn-fed spatchcock chicken boasts a distinctive flavour profile and texture that sets it apart from conventionally raised poultry.

The diet of corn lends the chicken a subtly sweet and buttery taste, enhancing its natural flavours. This diet also contributes to the bird's golden-yellow skin, which crisps up beautifully when cooked. The meat itself is tender and succulent, with a juiciness that can be attributed to the even distribution of fat throughout the muscle. This ensures each bite is flavourful and moist, providing a delightful eating experience that is both rich and satisfying.

Corn-Fed Spatchcock Chicken Cooking Suggestions

• Grilling: Grill over medium-high heat for a smoky, charred finish while keeping the inside juicy.
• Roasting: Roast at 425°F until the skin is crisp and the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
• Pan-Seared and Oven-Finished: Start by searing the chicken in a hot skillet to brown the skin, then transfer to the oven to finish cooking.
• Spit-Roasting: Use a rotisserie for even cooking and a self-basting effect, which keeps the meat tender.
• Sous Vide and Sear: Cook sous vide at 145°F for several hours, then sear in a hot pan for a crispy exterior.
