Heading into the long weekend, why not make your local butcher your first stop?

Did you know you can ask your butcher to spatchcock a whole Sutton Hoo Chicken for you? It’s a simple way to prepare a whole bird for the BBQ (or the oven) and makes cooking a whole chicken that little bit easier. 🔥🍗

Our Spatchcock Chicken with Lemon, Herbs & Salsa Verde is made for summer – marinated with lemon, garlic, white wine and fresh herbs, then cooked on the BBQ and finished with a generous drizzle of zingy salsa verde. 🌿🍋

Search 'salsa' on our website to get the recipe.

When life gives you figs… make chicken. 🍗💜

With an abundance of delicious, ripe figs around this year, it’s the perfect time to try something a little different with your Sutton Hoo Chicken.

Our Chicken with Fig & Honey pairs succulent chicken with sweet, juicy figs, honey and thyme for a wonderfully simple summer supper. A little sweet, a little savoury and very delicious. 🌿

P.S You can get your local butcher to portion up a whole Sutton Hoo Chicken for you or order thighs online via The Wild Meat Company

Great to be included in this Great British Life article:

With a firm focus on welfare, ethics and sustainability, these incredible local producers know exactly what’s needed to provide a winning plate of food.

'With a 30-year legacy, Sutton Hoo Chicken puts the welfare of its flock at the heart of its business. "We’ve always believed that quality, welfare and flavour come first,’ confirms Josie. ‘Charles and Belinda (Mum and Dad) started the business with a simple aim: to bring back the taste of chicken the way it used to be. Our focus has been on slow growing our birds, giving them space to roam, and rearing them outdoors in line with traditional farming methods."
