My Meat Man

This is for someone who wants a proper roast without the fuss.

A whole roast chicken is one of the most satisfying meals you can put on the table — impressive enough for guests, simple enough for a Tuesday night.

In my view, this is one of the best value proteins you can buy. One bird feeds a family, produces leftovers for the next day, and the carcass makes an exceptional stock.

This is home cooking at its most rewarding.

What makes this stand out

Steggles is one of Australia's most trusted poultry brands, known for consistent quality and reliable results.

A whole chicken gives you:

• breast meat — lean and clean

• thigh and drumstick — richer, more flavourful dark meat

• wings — crispy and delicious

• carcass — perfect for homemade stock

That means:

• multiple meals from one bird

• something for everyone at the table

• outstanding value per kilogram

How to Roast a Whole Chicken

The key to a great roast chicken is: high heat to start, then lower to finish

Step 1 — Thaw and prepare

• Thaw fully in the fridge (allow 24 hours for a large bird)

• Remove from fridge 30 minutes before cooking

• Pat dry inside and out

• Season generously with salt, pepper and olive oil

Step 2 — Roast

• Preheat oven to 220°C

• Roast at 220°C for 20 minutes to crisp the skin

• Reduce to 180°C and continue roasting

• Allow approximately 20 minutes per 500g

Step 3 — Check doneness

• Internal temp at thickest part of thigh: 75°C

• Juices run clear when pierced

Step 4 — Rest

• Rest for at least 15 minutes before carving

• Keeps the juices in and makes carving easier

Pro Tips

• Dry the skin thoroughly before roasting — moisture is the enemy of crispy skin

• Stuff the cavity with lemon, garlic and herbs for extra flavour

• Baste every 30 minutes for a golden, even finish

• Don't skip the resting step — it makes a significant difference

• Save the carcass for stock — it's liquid gold

What you can make

• Classic Sunday roast with vegetables

• Chicken and rice

• Leftover chicken sandwiches or wraps

• Chicken salad

• Homemade chicken stock from the carcass

One bird, multiple meals.

Wine Pairing

Our friends at My Wine Man recommend pairing this roast chicken with the 2025 Shaw + Smith Sauvignon Blanc — a vibrant, crisp white with bright citrus and herbaceous notes that cut through beautifully and lift the rich, golden flavours of a perfectly roasted whole chicken.
