Free-Range Chicken Breasts: Skin-On for Maximum Flavour
Free-range chicken breasts need little introduction, so let’s cut straight to the juicy facts. These premium breasts are left skin-on, perfect for recipes that celebrate one of the great culinary pleasures: crispy, golden chicken skin.

Lean, tender breast meat offers remarkable versatility, making it a staple in kitchens across the country. Whether it’s a quick midweek stir-fry, a comforting family favourite or a show-stopping dish for special occasions, these free-range chicken breasts deliver on flavour, texture and quality every time.

For dishes that call for smaller pieces, we also offer diced chicken breast, ideal for stir-fries, curries and quick midweek cooking.

Inspiration from Chef Val Warner
"Crispy chicken skin is a favourite and when left on the breast should be celebrated.

Achieve the crispness by gently frying skin side down in plenty of butter until becoming a deep golden orange. Only then turn it over and finish the rest of the cooking in a hot oven. Slightly undercooking it and allowing it to finish as it rests, will give juicy results every time.

Cooking breasts brick-style, having beaten them out flat and then weighing down with a cooking iron, will give a quicker cook with a super crispy skin. This is delicious with fresh garlic, fresh parsley and lemon butter and pommes purée.

Sliced and with crisped skin, I love a cream sauce made with homemade chicken stock, dessert wine, the plate served decorated with peeled grapes and toasted almonds.

Try also a very gently grilled breast made with a delicious white sauce containing wine, steamed and picked fresh mussels, and garnished with fresh chives; absolutely wonderful.

Crisped skin is not a necessity however. Try a quick soy chicken, with the breasts rather than the whole bird and, once cooled and sliced thickly, eat with chopped fresh spring onion, garlic and ginger in groundnut oil as a condiment alongside crispy chilli sauce."

"These are large, generous chicken breasts that make you fear they will be dry but are the complete opposite! The meat is tender, juicy, and as moist as can be, and carries a deep savouriness. The skin is crisp and caramelised, paper-thin and delicious to eat. Full of flavour and potentially the perfect star of plenty of dishes.

This is a neat-looking, well-butchered large piece of chicken. The aroma is rich, meaty, and clean. The skin crisps up well and the meat is succulent and tender and has plenty of sweet, fresh meaty flavour.

The juiciness of these golden-skinned chicken fillets was visibly evident, and swiftly confirmed by the taste. Moist, umami-driven, with an impressive depth of flavour, this is evidently high-quality meat, handled with immense care."
