Description
The Whole Chicken, 1300g, SEARA, is the classic choice for anyone who prefers cooking the bird whole, whether roasted for a Sunday family meal or cut into pieces depending on the day’s recipe. It comes from select chicken, with tender, juicy meat that works just as well for a special occasion as it does for any weeknight menu.

Coming whole, it lends itself to several cooking methods: fully roasted in the oven with herbs and vegetables, spatchcocked for the grill, or cut into pieces for stews, soups and stocks. It’s a versatile bird that yields several servings and works both for a family meal and for portioning out across different meals during the week. Tying the legs together before roasting helps it cook more evenly and gives it a neater presentation once it’s ready to serve. Setting the carcass aside after cutting it into pieces is a simple way to make the most of the whole bird by simmering a homemade stock.
Keep it frozen, and thaw it in the refrigerator before cooking, never at room temperature, to keep the product safe. Since it’s a single 1300 g bird, it’s worth planning to use it all in one large preparation, or cutting it into pieces after thawing to spread the meat across several separate meals, whichever suits your household better. Thawing it a day ahead on the lower shelf of the fridge makes it easier to plan the meal without a last-minute rush, and avoids resorting to faster thawing methods that can affect the meat’s texture.
