Whole Chicken 1.2 kg

Whole chicken is a 1.2 kg bird, the right size for a family roast or for cutting into pieces. A whole chicken is economical and gives you bones for homemade stock too.

Why choose Whole Chicken 1.2 kg

Welaza sources Whole Chicken 1.2 kg through a food-service importer that supplies UAE restaurants and hotels, so the cut, size and pack are consistent from order to order. Buying chicken in practical 2 kg packs or as whole birds also lowers the cost per portion compared with small supermarket trays.

Who it is for

It suits families who cook chicken often, meal-prep cooks and fitness-focused home cooks, and restaurants, caterers and cafes in the UAE. Consistent cuts and pack sizes help with meal planning, portion control and batch cooking.
