Free Range Chicken Paupiette - a succulent roasting joint for two to three servings

Allowed time to mature naturally

We take great care in selecting our Free Range Chickens only from farms where the highest standards of animal welfare are practised and that rear their birds in the traditional way - being free to roam and forage, fed on an additive-free natural diet, free from growth enhancers - and allowed time to mature naturally - to yield the most moist, deliciously flavoured meat​​​​

Slow grown

The Label Anglais Special Reserve is a truly Free Range Chicken which is slow grown and fed on a natural diet - with a rich flavour - quite unlike any other Chicken. 

Full maturity

Special Reserve Chickens are grown to full maturity of 70-80 days - using a slow growing breed of Chicken carefully selected for its ability to thrive outdoors, and live for almost twice as long as commercial Chickens.

Amazing eating quality

This gives them a longer and happier life scratching around in the fields and this is reflected in the amazing eating quality of the bird.

Straight from the field

The diet contains Maize, but also Whole Oats straight from the field - and also whole Apples fed separately.

Stays moist during cooking

You should see a small fat layer beneath the skin, which is a very stable fat put down mainly by the Whole Oats. This will help this extra special Chicken stay moist during cooking and not just disappear into the pan

A combination of the best of the old, with the best of the new. Simply incredible in taste and texture, quite unlike any other

Succulent roasting joint

Very popular in France - our Chicken Paupiette  comprises the Leg and adjoining Breast of a Free Range Special Reserve Chicken with the Wing bone left on - ready to be stuffed - or left as it is - for a succulent roasting joint for two to three servings

Best roasted - but often - when stuffed - pan-fried or braised - or baked in Wine or Stock.
