Special “Oyster Cut” Meaty Chicken Legs:
The chicken legs are made up of Drumsticks & Thighs both have different textured meat. The thigh is soft & the drumstick is a little coarser, the drumstick has a richer flavour & the thigh has a more delicate flavour. The colour of the meat is lighter in the thigh than the drumstick as the drumstick is a harder working muscle. Our butchers make sure all feathers are removed & there is no bruising on the meat before packing.
The term “Oyster Cut” comes from the way the butchers remove the thigh from the main carcass. These are scooped out round the end of the Femur Bone taking only the soft meat from the carcass & leaving the spine bones behind. In this video you can see where the “Chicken Oysters” come from, & how tender the meat is. This is better because there is less chance of any bone fragments & the result is more meat less bones.
Sherwood Whole Chickens are separated into 3 different sizes before any cutting because this enables us to create more equal sized portions for easier home cooking. The quality of our chicken is A Grade as we have it produced locally from better run farms, & we DON’T add any water to the meat to increase weight.
The Chicken Legs are 3 per pack which is an ideal size for feeding the average family, this also helps to reduce food waste at home. As there are only 2 main bones in our Chicken Legs, this will be the only waste from them. The skin protects the main meat from drying out, but it is delicious when Crispy Golden Brown, so nothing is wasted.
Chicken has always been the more affordable meat, & buying our Chicken Legs online as part of your regular food shopping saves you time & money. These are a great price & delivered to your door next day means one less item to buy from the supermarket.
Making “Restaurant Quality Food” at home that is tasty & nutritious for your family is very important, but not always easy… especially when we all have busy lives.
Chicken is an excellent source of minerals, vitamins & protein, eating chicken as part of your regular diet is a great, natural way of enjoying healthier food. The quality chicken is the best way to start making better home cooked meals that have improved flavour & nutrition. The well-prepared legs are a cheap way of creating delicious food for your family.
All our chicken is vacuum sealed to preserve the natural flavour & moisture of the meat. The clear pouches we use for our packaging are fully recyclable helping towards a Greener Future. To reduce our use of plastic we now have thinner, stronger bags saving us approx 15% in plastic weight. We are always trying to find safe, commercially economical alternatives to plastic to try to get a biodegradable packaging.
When receiving any meats from Sherwood Foods we ask that our customers Recycle Responsibly at home or in your restaurants.
Through packing our Chicken Legs 3 per pack we use less pouches & it keeps your meat as fresh as the day it was produced. All our chicken is packed within a few minutes of cutting, & then frozen down to -18°c giving it a very long shelf life of 18 months. The packaging protects your meat from any external flavours or contamination from other foods when stored in your fridge. Freezer burn is common in most supermarket packaging, vacuum sealing stops this from happening.
All our production plants are BRC / IFS approved & operate under the strictest of conditions. Constantly supervised by on site health vets to ensure all cutting & hygiene processes are adhered to. The temperature controlled cutting rooms with filtered air means we can reduce natural bacteria growth & produce safer products with a longer shelf life. The process from farm to finished product is a very humane & efficient.
Sourcing all our chicken locally to the production plant enables us to have access to good quality chicken with sustainable supplies. Having built up relationships with local chicken farmers, the chickens supplied very consistent in size & quality, & able to meet our demands for higher volumes when needed.
All the local farms that supply production meet the highest European standards as quality & safety are our main priorities when buying our chicken. The chickens are checked & monitored 24 hours a day in temperature-controlled environments. The Chicken Sheds are very large & well ventilated so that the chickens have room to move about. With a controlled diet the chickens grow to healthy sized birds that produce a good yield.
Chicken legs are a great favourite for cooking on the Barbecue for that extra special smokey flavour, many people buy these as a common go to food that is a “no fuss” cook. The skin is gorgeously done a little crispy & the meat loves the modern great Barbecue rubs that are now available. These give great results when turning every 5-10 mins for around 30 mins & using a meat thermometer you want to aim for an internal temp of 75°c in the thick part of the thigh.
Alternatively, these are simple to season wrap & place in the oven to bake for 20-25 mins at 200°C, finish unwrapped to crisp the skin for a few mins. Always make sure the juices run clear before serving because it shows that the meat is cooked thoroughly, preventing food poisoning.
Sharing delicious meals as a couple or with friends & family is a very social thing to do. With this is mind, we love sharing your cooks you make at home on Social Media.
