A free-range Christmas cockerel from Herb Fed in Yorkshire, slowly grown for succulent meat and full chicken flavour.

Fed a diet that includes over ten fresh herbs, these birds roam, graze and forage on Yorkshire pasture. Larger than an everyday chicken, they make a generous festive roast and a delicious alternative to turkey for a smaller gathering.

A proper Christmas chicken, with plenty of character.

Expect:

• Slow-grown, free-range chicken from Yorkshire
• A diet that includes over ten fresh herbs
• Succulent meat with rich chicken flavour
• Giblets and fresh Christmas herbs included

Perfect for:

• Smaller Christmas gatherings
• A festive alternative to turkey
• Serving with stuffing and all the trimmings
• Making rich gravy with the giblets and roasting juices

Cockerel, rooster or capon? Herb Fed calls these birds roosters - another name for cockerels. If you remember a large Christmas chicken being called a capon, this is a similar choice for the table, although these birds are not capons.

Each bird comes individually boxed with cooking instructions, fresh Christmas herbs and a stuffing recipe from chef and food writer Sabrina Ghayour.

Keep refrigerated. Follow the supplied cooking instructions, cook thoroughly and rest well before carving.

Produced exclusively for Christmas and available during Christmas week only. Numbers are limited.

Weights include giblets. Each bird varies naturally in size, so weights are approximate.
