Cooking guidelines
Our fresh, free range cockerel makes a fabulous and great tasting centre piece for your Easter table. Each cockerel is given time to mature slowly and naturally on our family farm in rural Staffordshire. This allows for a beautiful depth of flavour to develop alongside moist, succulent, tender meat. Demand for our fabulous birds grows every year.
Award winning, with a fantastic 2-star in the Great Taste Awards – these free range cockerels are sure to make your Easter dinner just perfect.
Cook from chilled. Remove from fridge and allow a little time for your bird to come to room temperature before cooking, ensuring all packaging removed.
Preheat oven: 190°C / Fan 170°C / Gas Mark 5. Calculate cooking time based on 12-15 minutes per 450g.
Smear a little butter over the bird, season with salt and pepper amd cover the breast with streaky bacon. Put in a roasting tinand cover the top with foil.
Apx 40 minutes before the end of cooking time, remove te foil, discard the bacon, drain any excess fat (reserve this to make a tasty gravy), return to the oven and finish cooking to crisp up the skin.
To test the cockerel is cooked, insert a skewer into the thickest part of the thigh - the juices should run clear. If they are pink, return to the oven for a further 10-15 minutes and re-test.
When cooked, remove from the oven, place on a warm platter, loosely cover with foil and rest for up to 20 minutes before carving.
