    Is this really cheaper and more efficient than buying a cooked BBQ chicken?

    • +25

      No, but it's a completely different eating experience cooking your own roast than buying a sweaty bagged pre-cooked chook.

    • It is more of a personal choice. You have time to cook and can cook well buy one.

    • +1

      Only if you buy from Woolworths or Coles. A chicken from a chicken shop costs a lot more than a raw one nowadays

    • Yeah it’s cheaper and tastier

    • +4

      Supermarket BBQ chickens are shit.

      I'd rather buy this and cook it the way I like it.

      Saying that, a pre-stuffed chicken like this wouldn't be my first choice as I'd rather make my own stuffing.

  • +7

    Had one of these a couple weeks back. The stuffing is garbage on its own but happy with the roast chook.

    • +11

      I imagined someone eating the stuffing and throwing the chook away 🤣

      • +2

        My husband would happily do that. Stuffing is a dish on its own for him. 😂

  • 1.5kg - 2.9kg

  • +19

    Stuffing is a way to get the weight up per kg I got a roast chicken from Ww and removed the stuffing & ended up with a 790grm chicken/sparrow lol so tiny .

    • +3

      If made properly, stuffing can be more delicious than the chook

      • +1

        Christ hate to think what the stuffing is made from

        • Yep. Supermarket chicken stuffing is usually awful.

    • Then how much would be left after you take into account all the bone too?

      • But you can make stock with the bones!

  • +3

    I have tried Steggles, Ingham and the Aldi home brand. Personally, I feel that the Steggles one is half fat half meat.

    • That's what the stuffing is for, to soak up the fat :P

  • +5

    Hey all I buy the standard steggles chicken and roast in my Kamado. I will never go back to any store bought charcoal chicken. The steggle whole chicken is just so juicy that my kids love eating the breast. I never thought there would be difference in chicken quality but I was wrong.

    • +5

      my kids love eating the breast

      No wonder they're not going back to charcoal chicken

    • +5

      It's 90% chicken the rest is added to make it more tender but it's crap ingredients

      Get yourself a natural chicken and brine it yourself if you're going to go to the trouble of cooking it in a kamado

      • +3

        Brining bit of a pain, I don't have a big fridge to fit a bucket. Also eat worse things then care about added crap ingredients.

        • +2

          Dry brining is much better than wet for poultry. Can do that in a big ziplock bag.

          • @bargainy: Dry brining is good too, but I much prefer my wet brine concoction

    • Lump charcoal + apple wood with a dry rub in the kamado = chicken win

  • Potato and gravy makes a great stuffing for chicken. It's cheap, it's weighty and its what people have with chicken. Bravo whoever thought of this.

    I mean if it keeps costs down/level that's good I guess?

    • The ingredients claim 86% chicken though

      • Yeah I've just looked at the ingredients and it's dehydrated potato flakes lol. With that you can afford to still have 86% chicken.

        Wonder what the weight of the chicken is after cooking, my bet is there's quite a bit of water added. Not for the weight of course, but to make sure it's beautifully steamed.

        Still, at $3.75 a kg you can forgive these things.

        • 9% marinade, mostly being water

          • +5

            @Fobsessive: Made me rethink what water really is, am I marinating myself in the shower every morning. Lol.

    • Gee, 3.2l. Does that even do enough nuggets for a snack?

      • Yes it does nuggets and hash browns easily

        • That could actually be perfect. Just for one

    • Even if it did it would probably end up uncooked on one side

      • Can always do half at a time.

    • +6

      Is this the new "Will this fit in my 2006 Honda Civic with the seats folded down?"

    • Yes. If you minced the whole chicken up.

    • No. I recently got my first air fryer and the chicken I roasted in it for the first time was one of the best I've ever tasted.

  • Best chook I ever did on the weber rotisserie was one of these.

    • Bought a non stuffed one and smoked it yesterday on the weber.
      Made pies with the leftovers.
      Not cheaper, but delicious!

  • Stuff it with potatoes and water gravy and sell it for half price

  • +1

    So we pay $3.75 for stuffing too. They think to be so clever at Woolworths

    • +3

      Oh they are geniuses, put any of their meat in a smoking hot frypan and it goes from searing to boiling in water in a matter of seconds.

  • +3

    Adult advice for when you cook your chook.

    Use a roasting pan with a rack in it and add a centimetre of water under the chicken before you place in the oven. It will change your life.

    • +2

      Plus use the residual leftover stuff for the basis of a really good chicken stock - add bones from the whole chicken and then slow cook with whatever you want overnight or longer. No need to add veg as the basis will keep for weeks in the fridge so just add as needed in future meals.

      • Put flour into the residual stuff and stir in a small pot, it'll turn out to be lioe KFC gravy.

        • Most likely, just can't stand KFC…

    • It will change your life.

      you mean chook's life?

    • i can't picture it.. got a product link?

  • $3.75 for whole chicken is hell cheap

    • +2

      $3.75 per kg

  • amazing that this is possible (I know it's half price, but still $7.5 is crazy that it's possible)

    • You get what you pay for. Pumped full of god knows what.

    • It's $3.50 per kg, not for the whole thing.

      • true…

  • will try one, but definitely not worth it for the normal price

  • Can get a Boneless chicken from Aldi for $8-10, normally just cut into pieces to feed 3.

  • For anyone with gas pizza oven, here is recipe that takes 30min Spachcock chicken

  • I find that over %50 of the time, I’m turfing their meat out, either tough, chewy or complete fat, Woolworths is rubbish

  • the reason people are saying these chooks are more juicy is because they have water added, likely injected into the meat it contains other additives, not exactly healthy & you are paying for it by weight

  • +1

    Last time I bought one of these my kelpie jumped up on the table and ate the whole thing while I was in the garage. 2.7kg! He didn't move much after that.

  • 86% chicken plus potato flakes ?

    meh - yesterday at Woolworths we got a nice raw chicken cheaper than this deal, for $3.50/kg - I'd say 100% chicken - and it was very tasty for dinner thank you very much

    so I'm guessing the stuffing of potato flakes is one way of stuffing their profits - that's a no from me …

  • Shows as $7.50 / 1KG from your link OP..?

    Does it start Wednesday?

    • Starts tomorrow (as per tag in title).

      • Sorry it's just that you posted it 19 hours ago (Monday), so got confused! Thanks
