Aurum Mid Chicken | Mature Laying Hen | Whole, Head & Feet On
$9.50Unit
Aurum Mid Chicken is a mature egg-laying hen, sourced from our partnered Victorian egg farms and prepared as a whole bird with head and feet on.
Raised for a minimum of 600 days, this mature hen offers a very different eating experience from younger poultry. The meat is leaner, more structured and deeply suited to slow cooking, while the bones, head and feet contribute excellent stock value, collagen and savoury depth.
We present Mid Chicken as a whole bird with head and feet on to honour the full life of the bird and to showcase the quality of its time on farm. This format also reflects traditional whole-bird cooking, where every part has value — from the meat for soup, braising and shredding, to the bones, head and feet for richer broth and stock.
Mid Chicken is best suited to customers who appreciate traditional cooking, nourishing soups, long simmering and whole-bird preparation. It is ideal for slow soup, master stock, herbal broth, congee, braised dishes and family-style recipes where flavour, collagen and broth depth are the focus.
Suggested recipes: Mature Hen Herbal Soup, Double-Boiled Mid Chicken Soup, Mid Chicken Stock, Master Stock Mid Chicken, Slow-Braised Mid Chicken with Ginger and Mushroom, Mid Chicken Congee, Peppery Mid Chicken Soup, Mid Chicken Noodle Broth and Shredded Mid Chicken with Ginger Scallion Sauce.
Product note: Aurum Mid Chicken is supplied as a whole mature laying hen, head and feet on.
Aurum Mid Chicken comes from mature egg-laying hens raised on our partnered Victorian egg farms for a minimum of 600 days.
Presented as a whole bird with head and feet on, it reflects a full-use cooking approach and celebrates the quality life of the bird on farm.
Aurum Mid Chicken offers lean, structured meat with excellent broth and stock character.
When slow-cooked with the head, feet and bones, it releases savoury depth and collagen, creating a richer soup base for traditional nourishing dishes.
