    Got one today, girl behind the till said it's on til Monday. My chicken was priced £5.82 so good deal.
    The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.

    They're always good solid tasty chickens with a high proportion of meat to bone, unlike a lot of the "bargain" supermarket ones. I live near Edinburgh and most of the chickens in our M&S branches come from farms in either Fife or Angus. It's very rare to see even an English chicken, unless it's one of the flavoured ones.

    Worth checking M&S website every week for their in-store food and wine offers.

    I managed to get one which was priced at £6.22 today - with that and the syrup sponge pudding made a nice saving - and a nice meal too!
    At least the fish fingers are still frozen, that's what I keep telling myself (Truly Madly Deeply)

    we have had one for the last two weeks, went yesterday and bought another two chickens with syrup sponges one for this week and one for the freezer for next week

    I am veggie but OH and DS think the Oakham chickens are the best tasting ones, I have bought organic when on offer but they prefer these ones

    The chickens are tiny, if they're medium, i'd hate to see a small.

    Mine provided 4 adult meals (all enough for good appetites) plus 2 large rounds of sandwiches. It looked a decent size both before and after cooking - certainly not small. Perhaps you got to the store too late when all the larger chickens had already been snapped up. They do vary a bit in weight.

    The one I had was nearly £6, can't remember the precise weight but I wouldn't have described it as tiny. I would have thought you could feed four people comfortably with it and still have the carcasse left for stock-making.

    Of course, you do have to look for the largest, not just take the nearest one.
