Whole Chicken:
The breasts are a good-size that carve beautifully to give great slices of moist chicken. The legs have excellent meat content that makes them great for eating by hand & biting through the lovely crispy skin. This oven-ready whole chicken only needs simple seasoning with a few herbs to get the best from them, the natural flavour of the chicken will give great results every time.
At Sherwood, we supply restaurants with the same whole chicken because they only want the best quality meat for their customers, & the BBQ restaurants prefer our Spatchcock Chickens, these are the same birds, but just with the backbones removed.
Sherwood chicken has no added water & rich in protein, natural vitamins & minerals. The local chicken farms in the North of the Netherlands close to the production that supply us, meet the highest European standards to ensure that quality & safety are a top priority for our products. All the chickens are monitored 24 hours per day & given a consistent diet to help them grow into large healthy birds.
The process from farm to finished product is very humane & efficient under the strictest of conditions to produce consistent size & quality. Please see Sherwood Provenance page.
The size selection of the birds before production assures that your individual portions are all of a similar size when serving in your kitchen.

Recycling is important & we are always looking at new ways to reduce our impact on the environment through new packaging or using less. With this in mind, we only use clear recyclable pouches for all our chicken products. The Whole Chicken is packed in singles for easy storage at home.
One of the benefits of the packaging is the protection of your Whole Chicken in storage & delivery to ensure that it reaches your door in perfect condition. The chickens are vacuum-sealed within minutes of production to retain all its natural flavour & moisture in for your cooks. Freezing the Whole Chicken straight after sealing, to -18°C means that they stay as fresh from the moment they were produced.
We pack these so you can keep them frozen without the risk of spoiling the meat, & when you are bringing the meat up to room temperature, to prevent them from drying out. You can store these in the vacuum-sealed packs as they will be as fully protected from any other foods tainting the flavour of the meat. Please recycle the clear pouches responsibly at home & help us for a greener future.
