Bought one yesterday. Absolute bargain for £5. Had it for lunch today, there was enough for tomorrows lunch too, and I will make a soup from the carcass! That's moneysaving!:j:j:j

    What sort of ignition and fuel does it use? Do you need an outdoors space to use it?

    ??? It's a chicken! It's not rocket science. You roast it in the oven;)

    I've had several pre-cooked and cook-in-the-bag chickens from Asda over the past year or two and all of them were absolutely horrible. Only the breasts were edible. You can get a beautiful free-range 1.5kg (uncooked) chicken from Aldi for the same price. I won't ever be buying chicken from Asda again, that's for sure.

    Sorry, but...."ignition"? "Fuel"?


    "Outdoor space"?

    Have you been reading with someone else's glasses on again?

    !!!!!!, stay away from eBay!

    Well, I have to speak as I find, and this one was delicious. Will be buying again.

    They are lovely tasting and nice and moist but they are not necessarily money saving @ £3.12 a kilo.

    Well, bearing in mind that we get four meals and a whole lot of soup and there is less mess to clear up, I think it's extremely moneysaving:T

    Solar powered, just leave it on the windowsill for a couple of hours.

    They are nice but i buy fresh ones from Aldi for a fiver. Bigger than the Asda ones. I get 3 meals from one chicken, plus the stock.

    How hard is it to cook a fresh chicken without a bag ? Just cover it in foil, no mess.
