That’s the case for supermarket own-brand chickens, including organic chickens – farm-raised chickens do a much better job. They provide better taste and quality. The approach to preparation is key in getting optimal outcomes. To season our chickens we use a proprietary blend of sea salt and sunflower oil to roast these chickens. This organic technique lets their delicious, earthy flavors stand out.
You progress through the stages, beginning with high heat to achieve a beautiful caramelized color. Then drop the temperature down for a long, low, tenderizing finish that adds deep flavor. This process not only brines the meat, but it keeps all of the juices and tenderness locked in. After roasting, let the chickens rest under clean tea towels for a minimum of 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring optimal tenderness.
