100% RSPCA Assured Oakham™ Gold chicken
We have more RSPCA Assured products than any other national retailer, including our slower-reared, Oakham™ Gold fresh chicken. The higher-welfare Oakham™ Gold birds are fed a multigrain diet and have more space to roam. Why slower reared? Well, we believe this more natural rearing approach means the birds have a much better quality of life, can be more active, and can express their natural behaviours better.
Meet our chicken farmer Andy
Andy farms in Somerset and is one of the proud M&S Select Farmers supplying us with Oakham™ Gold chicken. These chickens are naturally slower-reared for maximum flavour, and have 20% more space to roam than birds reared to the industry standard. They also have straw bales to perch on, room to spread their wings and even toys to play with. Plus, all M&S Oakham™ Gold chicken is 100% RSPCA Assured.
Winner winner, chicken dinner recipes
We've got so many recipes to try, from spicy chicken wings and Sunday roasts to simple one-pot dishes, traybakes and soups. Top chef Tom Kerridge has been busy working on a couple of dreamy recipes: the juiciest whole BBQ roasted chicken, and smoky buffalo chicken wings, which will both definitely please a crowd.
Tom Kerridge's juiciest whole BBQ roasted chicken
A roast doesn't just have to be for the winter months. Try Tom Kerridge's seriously succulent BBQ roasted chicken served with roasted Jersey royal potatoes and a crunchy Tom-style side salad. It tastes great the whole year round.
Tom Kerridge's smoky buffalo chicken wings
Everyone will love tucking into these chicken wings, which are liberally smothered in sticky, smoky buffalo sauce. Whip up a batch when you've got friends coming over for a film night and serve them with sweet and buttery corn on the cob.
