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.

This is the first time we've tried cockerel and we were not disappointed. It was succulent to eat, a lovely flavour ad plenty to go round. Finally going into a curry. Very pleased.

Absolutely delicious and really good firm texture. We loved it! Thank you Copas! We always order a turkey from you but this is the first free range cockerel we have had.

Free range cockerel
We had the bird for Easter Sunday dinner. It was truly delicious.-moist and full of flavour. We have got plenty left over and have made stock for soup. I am very happy to buy meat from a company that takes the welfare of their animals so seriously.

Easter Cockerel
As always true to their word Copas has managed to deliver in times of crisis on time and accommodated via their delivery carrier APC an outstanding product. The chicken itself was a game changer and very delicious and moist. Even writing this now makes me drool .. it was like having a CopasTurkey .. excellent!!!

Deeeelicious
Never had a cockerel before but decided to try this for Easter and we were so pleased we did. It was possibly the best chicken we have ever eaten! We had read some reviews of cockerels (not just from Copas) and people had said it could be slightly tough or strongly flavoured. But this one, from Copas had a both a great taste and texture. Highly recommend and will definitely buy again.
