I have said this before and I'll say it again. Asda meat quality isn't great. Often pumped with stuff to bulk it up. Also the origins often cannot always be traced.
The Aldi one is much better quality, 100% fresh British chicken, guaranteed every time. It tastes much nicer and is more tender and juicy, just like proper chicken should be.
So in summary, don't just look at price.. also look at quality.
On that note, I'll get my coat...

Sorry to be a snob but m&s do three chickens for a tenner - it's the smaller ones weighing 1.1 kilos but for quality you can't go wrong - it's the Oakham ones. That's 3.33 a chicken! It's an ongoing deal with them - I picked up 3 today.

Yes that is a little snobbish. However, you are also paying 4p more per chicken. This site is for the best deals and therefore there is no competition with getting the chicken 4p cheaper even if it's of slightly inferior quality.
With kindest regards.

The M&S 3 for £10 are for intensively farmed low welfare chickens, and are small making them poor value.
They are also not organic as stated above. People need to be meticulous when reading the labels to make sure the content is actually what they're after.

When did I ever claim that they were free range? I think you'll find I didn't. Having eaten lots of different types of roast chicken I find the m and s ones to be the tastiest and all I was doing was giving an alternative. Please get your facts right.

This thread is for Free range, you are the one comparing ordinary chicken with fre range, not me!

I was mentioning another option I wasn't comparing - just in the off chance that someone might benefit - people getting too precious for my liking.

Where's the cooking directions/suggestions? What would this go well with?
Is this suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
firstofficer to 360finder

I'm not sure that its suitable for vegetarians actually - something that you wold need to ask the store manager about.
That said, its almost certainly suitable for vegans as its quorn-derived - so rest assured, and stock up!
As for cooking directions, its simple - just slam it in the micro, full power for 20 min. PING. Done.
While stocks last. :grin:

Quorn is actually not vegan. Has egg in it. Free range though. Because baby chicken embryos are cool to eat. Just not the adult birds!

I'm ever-so-sorry - 360 - for having to correct you slightly once again... may I possibly draw your attention to the following link, which is self-explanatory..
Hope this serves to educate you a little bit more on Quorn and the concept of veganism.
With the kindest of regards and warm wishes...

This deal for £3.29 per kilo isn't a deal because it is the regular price. I usually buy 3 a time to turn into breast meat, thighs, drumsticks and wings. The bones get turned into stock and used with the thighs for Spanish chickpea and chorizo stew. I have found it's the best welfare/quality chicken available in the supermarkets for the price. Voted hot even though it's normal price because more people should eat higher welfare chicken when given the choice.

The posting was not wrong. Some chickens are £3.29 each, making it perfectly valid..

I think this is one of the tastiest supermarket chickens out there. Very tasty and a huge difference between the normal chicken and the free range

I think this is the standard price for Aldi free range whole chicken. Nice price anyway, and we buy them regularly.

The packaging states 100% British chicken. I'm unsure how I feel about my chicken being wrapped in chicken rather than sealed in someway. Is this even hygienic?

They aren't £3.29 each, rather £3.29 per kg, the average size is 1.3kg - 2.1kg, so your talking around £4 - £6.50 per whole chicken.

Yes, as stated in the opening line.
The chicken may cost £3.29 if it happens to weigh 1kg, which the small chickens do.
With kindest regards.
