{"product_id":"whole-chicken","title":"Whole Chicken","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-intro\"\u003eCertified antibiotic-free whole chicken, raised without growth promoters or added hormones. Versatile enough for a Sunday roast, spatchcock on the braai, or slow-cooked in a potjie — clean, honest poultry that lets your seasoning do the talking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhole Chicken — Complete \u0026amp; Oven-Ready\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Whole Chicken arrives oven-ready — cleaned, trimmed and ready to roast, spatchcock or portion into cuts. A whole chicken is the most economical and versatile way to buy chicken: roast it whole on Sunday, use the leftovers for sandwiches and salads, then simmer the carcass for homemade stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA properly roasted whole chicken is one of the most satisfying things you can cook: golden, crispy skin, juicy white and dark meat, and a kitchen that smells incredible for hours. The dark meat (thighs and drumsticks) cooks at a slightly different rate than the breast, which is why techniques like spatchcocking (removing the backbone and flattening) produce the most even results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor classic roast chicken: pat dry, season generously with salt inside and out (ideally the night before), stuff the cavity with lemon and herbs, and roast at 200°C for 20 minutes per 500g plus 20 minutes. Rest for 20 minutes, loosely tented. For spatchcock: remove the backbone, flatten, and roast at 220°C for 35–45 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelivered frozen. Defrost in the fridge for 24 hours. Once thawed, use within 2 days. Remove giblets if present. Pat dry thoroughly before roasting for the crispiest skin — moisture is the enemy of crunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Biltong Chief","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48859583971580,"sku":"1808203","price":130.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6095\/5900\/files\/s-pure-whole-roast-chicken-hong-kong.jpg?v=1773712173","url":"https:\/\/www.biltongchief.com\/products\/whole-chicken","provider":"Biltong Chief","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
