Producer

Packington Poultry is looked after by Alec Mercer, who is the brother of our pork man Rob Mercer. All of the land at Packington Free Range is in environmental schemes in partnership with Natural England. For example, all the fields have grass margins around them to protect hedgerows and encourage a safe environment for ecosystems to flourish. Many of the field corners are planted with wild bird seed mixes or pollen and nectar mixes to give insects and farmland birds vital food sources.
All Packington Free Range Chickens roam free on established English pasture consisting of various grasses and clovers, with carefully placed perches and shelters offering shade, food and water. This is the idyllic setting which every Packington Free Range bird experiences in its lifetime. It is wonderful to see the birds roaming free just as nature intended.

Nutrition

Chicken, as with all meat, is a good source of protein. However the chicken liver itself, provides us with more specific health benefits, high in iron, folic acid and zinc. Chicken can help prevent and treat anaemia, due to its concentrated source of nutrients. Chicken liver will be especially useful for you if you are recovering from surgery. Being rich in zinc, chicken can benefit growth (especially young children), and our immune system. People who eat little, or the elderly, will find eating chicken extremely beneficial to them due to the high level of zinc.

Storage & prep

We guarantee that your order of meat and fish will have 3 days before its expiry date, including the day you have it delivered. All of our meat and fish can be frozen. To roast your chicken, allow 25 minutes per 500g plus 25 minutes in a preheated oven at 190C/374F/gas 5. Cook thoroughly until the juices run clear when pierced with a skewer and there is no pink meat. Chicken should be kept at a very cool temperature, wrapped and kept away from other foods, in the bottom of the fridge. Chicken can be frozen, but should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking. Cooked chicken should not be reheated once it has cooled - any leftovers should be cooled to room temperature, refrigerated within 2 hours and eaten within two days.
