Description

These free-range yellow chickens are a heritage breed from the South-West region of France, lovingly raised in small batches across the Basque Country, Landes, and Béarn. Slow-growing and free to roam for over three months, they enjoy an all-natural, GMO-free diet that includes whole kernel corn, giving them their signature golden colour which gives them their unique taste. Maison Garat honour generations of tradition to ensure each chicken embodies craftsmanship and excellence.
Laetitia Garat is the 4th generation behind this beautiful house.
Over time, the Garat family have crafted some of the best poultry in France working with the best chefs in the country.

Cooking Instructions

French Yellow Chicken - Roast

±1.3kg, corn-fed. Serves 2 to 3. Defrost 22–24 hours. Around an hour in the oven.

1. Defrost
Move the pack from freezer to fridge. Leave it in its packaging, on a tray. Allow 22 to 24 hours, right through to the cavity. Cook within 48 hours of defrosting. Do not refreeze.

2. Dry the skin the night before
Pat the bird dry inside and out and salt the skin generously. Leave it uncovered on a rack in the fridge overnight. The corn feed is what gives this skin its yellow colour, and it crisps beautifully when dry.

3. Temper
Out of the fridge 45 minutes before roasting.

4. Roast
Oven at 200°C, breast up on a rack over a tray. Around 1 hour 10 minutes for a bird this size. A knob of butter under the breast skin before it goes in is worth the trouble.

5. Cook it to 75°C
Probe the thickest part of the thigh, clear of the bone. Chicken is cooked through, never pink. The juices should run clear.

6. Rest
15 minutes, loosely tented with foil.

7. Carve and serve
Legs first, then the breasts off the crown. This is a small, deeply flavoured bird, so serve it simply. The pan juices with a splash of white wine make the only sauce it needs.

Born in Basque Country

The South-West of France, the Basque Country, Landes, and Béarn, is one of Europe's great food regions. Rolling foothills, Atlantic winds, and a culture that has always taken what it eats seriously. This is the land that gave the world confit, foie gras, and Armagnac. It is no coincidence that France's finest poultry comes from here too.

Incredible Chicken

Slow oven cook 2h, with onions and potatoes, butter olive oil and Raz El Anout spice !
Perfect match, lovely taste and still firm meat.
