and before the chicken and egg freedom fighters get their knickers in a twist they have the red tractor logo on:j

In our Tesco chickens are on average £4-6. You can no longer pick one up for £2.70 etc. This is pricing as of yesterday.

Chicken is such a versatile meat I would buy the cheapest, those 3 for £10.00 are good, but if I was shopping for chicken for my Sunday roast I always buy the best quality I can find.;)

Marks are not that expensive tbh honest, as they usually have 25% off most weeks, then they switch to a different chicken!!!

Myself and my partner will only ever purchase the oakham ones!!!, and we have never purchased a cheap chicken, or any cheap meat tbh.

Unless you buy the chickens marked Free Range from M&S you are just buying expensive cheap chicken if that makes sense not much better than the industry standard battery chicken? Just because it is M&S does not necessarily mean better practice, just more profit along the line?

They certainly taste better for me, and I only buy them or Sainsbury ones now. Strange how chickens from different stores differ in taste, but that's how I find it. I've often wondered if added water could be a problem, who knows??

I agree, I think they are tastier too (although Costco free range are our favourite) x

Jamie Oliver said better to buy Waitrose Select & M&S Oakhams as they WERE happier.
He had it on his happy chicken programme.
