Butterflied Lime Pepper Chicken

Description

Meet the chicken that brings real personality to your barbecue — our Butterflied Lime Pepper Chicken. Made with a whole hormone and chemical free Ionica size 16 chicken, each bird is semi-boned and butterflied by our butchery team, then seasoned with a zesty lime pepper blend and cryovac packed to preserve freshness.

Butterflying the chicken means it cooks faster and more evenly than a whole bird, with more surface area for that lime pepper seasoning to work its magic. The result is juicy, tender meat with a tangy, peppery kick that lifts the whole cook — whether you are firing up the BBQ on a summer evening or roasting in the oven year-round.

With a minimum weight of 1.2 kg, there is enough to feed the whole crew. It is the kind of centrepiece that turns a casual meal into something worth gathering around.
