Free Range Chicken Cushion with Chestnut, Cranberry and Apple Stuffing

This Free_Range Chicken Cushion comes from a carefully chosen poultry supplier, Creedy Carver, based at Merrifield Farm in Crediton, Devon. Peter and Sue Coleman pride themselves on producing top_quality chickens whilst maintaining a very sympathetic approach to bird welfare. From one day old, their chicks remain in temperature_controlled brooder units; at 28 days old they’re moved to free range units, which are either straw_bale shacks or special chicken arks. From here, they can roam grassy fields while enjoying protection from predators and the elements, thanks to their specialist housing. The birds are fed a low_density diet free from GM ingredients, additives or antibiotics, which allows them to grow more slowly, reaching maturity at their own pace. This simple lifestyle and natural environment combine to produce the delicious_tasting chicken that Greendale customers love.

This Chicken Cushion is carefully hand_tied to give it a distinctive shape _ do remember to remove the string before carving.

Cook Preheat the oven to 190°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Place the Turkey Cushion in a roasting tin and cook for up to an hour, basting it once or twice with its juices if wished. The meat is cooked when, if it is pierced with a clean skewer, the juices run clear. When it is cooked, remove the Cushion from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes in a warm place before serving.
