Cooking Instructions
- Remove your chicken from the fridge & place in a roasting pan at room temperature for as long as comfortable. It saves cooking time and oven energy.
- Preheat oven to 180°C / 160°C Fan / Gas 4.
- Remove trussing band and season your bird liberally with salt inside & out. Insert Pop-Up Timer into the thickest part of the breast.
- Place in oven at 180°C for approximately 35 minutes per kg (see timing table).
- As soon as the thickest part of the chicken breast hits 68°C or the timer pops, take the bird out of the oven to rest.
- Leave the chicken to rest for up to 1 hour uncovered. Minimum 30 minutes. It will continue to cook with the residual heat but not overcook. Leave uncovered for crispy skin!
- Chicken Tip: There is no need to add butter or oil to a Copas Chicken.

Superb
Delivery was flawless. Packaging was great and very reusable. It smelled quite strongly when it came out of the packaging but now I realise that is just how real meat smells. It made a beautiful and incredibly tasty Xmas centrepiece and even better stock on Boxing Day. Will repeat. Far better than turkey!

Cockerel
We are long standing Copas clients but this was the first time with a cockerel. Size was good and it was plump. Easy to cook but the breast meat was tough. The legs were tender though. Juicy and moist all over and lots of juice to go into the gravy. It looked just like your picture when we took it out of the oven. I wonder whether the turkey direction of starting to cook upside down might have helped or not.
