Shop Chicken & Other Poultry

At Woolworths, we make it easy to enjoy premium chicken at home. Our Poultry range includes free range whole chickens, skinless breast fillets, drumsticks, thighs, marinated options and ready to cook meals. You can find everyday essentials and special cuts for any occasion.

Free Range Whole Chickens

Choose a free range whole chicken when you want a hearty family meal. Roast it, carve it and serve it straight from the oven. Free range chickens have natural flavour and firmer texture. Whole chickens can also be used to make the heartiest soups.

Skinless Breast Fillets and Premium Cuts

Choose skinless breast fillets for lean, quick cooking meals. Grill, bake or stir fry them for salads, pastas or mains. We also offer premium cuts, such as cocktail chicken wings and thigh fillets, for added variety. Fillets also make delicious kebabs and delicious butter chicken curry.

Drumsticks, Thighs and Portions

Select drumsticks, thighs or mixed portions for flavourful, budget friendly meals. Braai, oven bake or slow cook them to enjoy chicken in many ways. Chicken is versatile and needs little to make it taste amazing!

Marinated, Crumbed and Easy Meals

Shop marinated chicken, crumbed schnitzels, kebabs and ready to cook options. These meals offer you convenience and flavour when you want a quick, tasty dinner.
