"This is an impressive-looking product, with lots going on. The chicken itself is moist, with a satisfying mouthfeel that demonstrates its quality. The stuffing has a good, bold flavour with clear chunks of bacon, tasty herbs and good levels of seasoning."

Please note: this needs defrosting for 24 hours in the fridge before cooking.
For the sauce:
Whilst the chicken is resting remove the sauce from the freezer. Decant the sauce into a small saucepan, cook on a medium heat and stir continuously for 5 mins until it has defrosted. Turn the heat up slightly and cook for an additional 1 min 30 secs until piping hot.
- We use higher welfare chicken to make our cushions and stuff it with a higher welfare sausagemeat from Speldhurst Butchers, local to our Kitchens in Kent.
- We also use an English sparkling wine which really sets the sauce apart - it's a stand out ingredient which gives a really delicate flavour, making the overall dish a very special one.
- The sauce is made from English sparkling wine from Kent, shallots and orange.
Try It With
- Try with roast potatoes.
- Great with some of roasted carrots and Peas & Leeks.
- An oaked Chardonnay is the classic pairing for roast chicken, but a Pinot Gris is a brilliant match, too. Don’t be afraid to break the white-wine-with-white-meat rule and try it with Pinot Noir.
