In addition to Woolies’ best-selling free-range whole chickens and portions, the retailer also offers plenty of other products to crow about. The full-flavoured, fresh, free-range chicken stock, ideal for risottos and soups, is made by roasting fresh, free-range chicken bones, then simmering them with fresh herbs.

This stock is reduced to make Woolworths’ wildly popular fresh, free-range chicken gravy, which works a treat with traditional roast chicken, pies and mash, as well as the fresh, free-range stock concentrate, which can either be diluted with water to make stock, or added to soups, sauces or stews.

Lastly, the chicken mince – made from chicken breasts – is fantastic in everything from samoosa fillings to bobotie. It’s also used to make Woolworths’ moreish chicken burgers and meatballs.
