Our Slowly Grown Free Range Chicken Slow Cooking Cuts are made for dishes that benefit from time and care. This collection includes richly flavoured cuts such as chicken thighs and drumsticks, chosen for their ability to soften and deepen as they cook. Slowly grown and reared on open pasture, our chickens develop better texture and fuller flavour, making these cuts ideal for long, gentle cooking. When simmered or braised, these slow cooking cuts become tender and comforting, bringing depth and warmth to stews, casseroles and curries. They are reliable, versatile and deeply satisfying to cook with. Perfect for cooks who enjoy taking their time, our slowly grown free range chicken slow cooking cuts turn everyday ingredients into meals that feel generous, nourishing and properly done.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which chicken cuts suit slow cooking?
Thighs, legs, drumsticks and diced chicken, the working muscles with fat and connective tissue that long cooking rewards. Breast has no business in a slow cooker; it dries while the rest improves.
Can I slow cook a whole chicken?
Yes, and a slow grown bird holds together where a supermarket chicken collapses. Pot-roast it on a bed of vegetables with a glass of wine, and you get tender meat plus the beginnings of soup underneath.
What makes chicken wings a slow-cooking cut?
Skin and collagen. Braised or confit-style, wings give up their richness slowly, then crisp brilliantly under a hot grill to finish. Cheap, patient and better than their party-food reputation.
How long should diced chicken braise?
Forty-five minutes to an hour at a gentle simmer covers most curries and casseroles using thigh meat. It is a shorter commitment than beef; the reward is chicken that has taken on the sauce properly.
