Why you will love our Sutton Hoo Spatchcock chicken...

  • Ready for the BBQ or a quick oven roast
  • Choose from plain or three different marinades
  • Truly free-range chickens, slowly reared on open meadows in Suffolk

Spatchcock chickens make me think of France, dry white wine and frites. These lovely local spatchcocked ‘Sutton Hoo’ chickens are reared slowly for 10-12 weeks, much longer than standard supermarket free-range chickens. This gives them a wonderful texture and full flavour - I always suggest cooking them a little lower and slower to make the most of this. They’re so tasty and make a really easy meal. Each spatchcock chicken typically weighs 2kg and would feed 4-6 people.

We remove the backbone and spatchcock the birds ourselves. Choose from either plain, or marinated with one of our own chicken marinades; olive oil, sea salt, mixed Provençale herbs and garlic; West Indian Jerk seasoning; or Olive oil, lemon, ginger, chilli and garlic

As well as being lean, healthy and full of old-fashioned ‘chicken’ flavour, these are so easy to cook: they take around 30-40 minutes (turn a couple of times during this time) over coals – not right in the burning heart of the grill but over the gentler sides of the fire. Or of course, if it's raining, they can be roasted oven!

Want to know more?

Sutton Hoo Chicken, is a name celebrated nationwide for their exceptional free-range chickens. Despite their national acclaim, they’re wonderfully local to us, meaning we have a long-standing, trusted relationship with founder and farmer Belinda who started Sutton Hoo Chicken over 30 years ago with her late husband Charles. Raised slowly on 40 acres of lush meadow near the historic River Deben, these chickens enjoy a truly free-range life of sunshine, open pasture, and a naturally rich diet, resulting in meat that’s tender, succulent, and full of authentic flavour - just like chicken used to taste.
