OUR CHICKEN AND DUCK
SHOP FREE RANGE CHICKEN AND DUCK
At Woolworths, our poultry is sourced from the best suppliers around the country. Independent audits ensure that every supplier complies with strict hygiene, people ethics and animal welfare, which means we deliver on our promise of quality. Here are 5 other reasons why our chicken meets the quality difference:- Chicken feed
Our chickens feed on a diet that is free from animal by-products and consists only of grains and pulses. - Matured for succulence
Our skinless breast fillets are matured on the bone for a minimum of 8 hours to ensure that the meat is tender and succulent. When we mature the breast fillets, the enzymes naturally present in the poultry meat, start breaking down the proteins and tenderise the meat so that you get juicy chicken breasts, every time. - Air-chilled chicken
At Woolworths we air-chill our chickens, rather than water chill. Air chilling helps to maintain the natural juices and flavour of the chicken with no excess water absorption. This means you're only paying for chicken, and not water. - Perfectly trimmed
At Woolworths, we are perfectionists when it comes to removing unwanted excess fat, skin and bone. This happens before the chicken is weighed, which means you're getting great value and aren't paying for the things you don't want to eat. - Guaranteed freshness
We do extensive microbial testing on the chicken we sell to you, which means we guarantee its freshness and safety, every time.
NEED TO KNOW: FREE RANGE CHICKEN
At Woolworths, our free range chicken is free from animal by-products, antibiotics, and hormones.
HOW OUR FREE RANGE CHICKENS LIVE
After hatching, free range chicks are kept indoors for about two weeks. They are then given the opportunity to experience the outdoors and are allowed to move around unrestrained between the protective shelters and the outdoors through pop holes in the chicken houses. They have constant access to a natural diet, enjoy plenty of fresh air and sunshine and they naturally migrate back to their shelters at night.
