My Meat Man

This is for someone who cares about where their chicken comes from.

New Zealand free range chicken has a reputation for exceptional quality — cleaner flavour, better texture and a more ethical approach to farming. Turk's is one of New Zealand's most respected poultry producers.

In my view, if you're going to roast a whole chicken, it's worth starting with the best bird you can get. This is that bird.

Premium provenance, exceptional results.

What makes this stand out

Not all chickens are the same.

Turk's free range chickens are:

• raised free range with access to the outdoors

• grown more slowly for better flavour development

• naturally leaner with a cleaner taste

• sourced from New Zealand's pristine farming environment

That means:

• more flavour in every bite

• better texture — firmer and more satisfying

• a result that genuinely tastes different from supermarket chicken

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 overnight

• 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 fresh 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 homemade stock

Serving Ideas

• Classic Sunday roast with roasted vegetables

• Served with gravy and mashed potato

• Carved over a warm grain salad

• Leftover chicken in sandwiches, wraps or salads

• Carcass used for a rich homemade stock

One bird, multiple meals.
