Cooking Instructions
- Remove your chicken from the fridge & place in a roasting pan at room temperature for as long as comfortable. It saves cooking time and oven energy.
- Preheat oven to 180°C / 160°C Fan / Gas 4.
- Remove trussing band and season your bird liberally with salt inside & out. Insert Pop-Up Timer into the thickest part of the breast.
- Place in oven at 180°C for approximately 35 minutes per kg (see timing table).
- As soon as the thickest part of the chicken breast hits 68°C or the timer pops, take the bird out of the oven to rest.
- Leave the chicken to rest for up to 1 hour uncovered. Minimum 30 minutes. It will continue to cook with the residual heat but not overcook. Leave uncovered for crispy skin!
- Chicken Tip: There is no need to add butter or oil to a Copas Chicken.

Christmas Cockerell
We have had a Copas Cockerell for at least four years and it is perfect for us. The flavour and quality of the poultry is more than first class and we be ordering one for next Christmas without hesitation.

Free range Cockerel
I love Copas turkeys but as there were only two of us this year we decided to try the cockerel. I was concerned that it would just taste like chicken but actually it did really taste different. Much tastier and more gamey. It was DELICIOUS!! The texture was firmer too, like their turkeys. Definitely recommend
-
Better than turkey!
So glad I discovered the cockerel option, perfect for a smaller gathering and actually tastier all round

Delicious
This year was my first time buying cockerel for Christmas lunch. I had read the reviews and was not 100% sure. Absolutely no regrets, it was delicious. Just wish I could buy it all year round. Will definitely be buying again for next Christmas.
