Description

Chicken Marylands are the cut that keeps on giving — a single piece combining both the tender thigh and the drumstick, giving you the best of the dark meat in one serve. Known for their rich flavour and juicy texture, Marylands are one of the most forgiving and satisfying cuts to cook. Whether you're feeding the family or meal-prepping for the week, they deliver every time.

Each Maryland weighs approximately 400 to 520 grams, making them a generous portion on their own. And now you can choose them plain or pre-marinated in your choice of Souvlaki Seasoning, Portuguese Peri Peri, South Carolina BBQ, or Butter Chicken. That means dinner can go from pack to plate even faster.

Dark meat stays moist and tender through just about any cooking method. Roast them until golden, throw them on the BBQ, or let them simmer low and slow in a curry or casserole. Chicken Marylands are a reliable, flavour-packed choice that suits everything from a quick weeknight meal to a weekend feast.

Cooking Tips

Roast Marylands skin-side up at 200°C for 35–40 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp.
For the BBQ, cook over medium heat skin-side down first to render the fat, then flip and finish with the lid down.
If using a marinade option, no need to add extra seasoning — just cook straight from the pack.
Marylands are perfect for curries and stews — brown them first, then simmer in sauce for rich, falling-apart meat.
For extra crispy skin, pat dry with a paper towel and season with salt before roasting or grilling.

Serving Ideas

Serve roast Marylands with lemon wedges, a simple green salad, and crispy roast potatoes.
Shred leftover BBQ or Peri Peri Maryland meat into tacos or wraps with slaw and sour cream.
Use Butter Chicken-style Marylands as the base for a quick butter chicken curry — just add sauce and simmer.

Add Chicken Marylands to your next order for a versatile, flavour-packed cut that makes every meal easy.

Butcher's Tip: For the best roast Maryland, start it in a cold pan or tray skin-side down to slowly render the fat, then flip and finish in a hot oven. This gives you ultra-crispy skin without drying out the meat.

Bonus Tip: If you're buying plain Marylands, try marinating them overnight in yoghurt, lemon, and spices — the acidity tenderises the meat and adds incredible depth of flavour.
