At Herb Fed Poultry, we’re passionate about good food and making it go further. In support of Food Waste Action Week, we put one of our 2kg free-range chickens to the test — and the results of our 2kg Chicken Challenge were both delicious and sustainable.
Fed a unique diet enriched with over 10 varieties of herbs and raised on our family farm in Yorkshire, our chickens deliver incredible flavour, generous portions, and minimal waste. Here’s how a 2kg chicken challenge and one bird went a long way!

Meal 1: The Classic Sunday Roast
A roast chicken dinner is a must. The two breast portions from our 2kg bird comfortably fed 2 adults and 3 hungry children. Juicy, flavourful, and far from your typical water-injected supermarket chicken. Recipe: https://www.instagram.com/p/DGciFGmt_W_/?igsh=NzMyZ3g4MW1kcmpu
Meal 2: Chicken Fried Rice
One leg was shredded into a tasty chicken fried rice dish that served 4 people. The rich herb-fed flavour added something extra special to this simple, satisfying dinner. Recipe: https://www.instagram.com/p/DGkP4JNtt8p/?igsh=MWs4M2FhbTdwZGg0aQ==
Meal 3: BBQ Chicken Puff Pastry Tart
“Tart Tuesday” saw the other leg transformed into a puff pastry tart with BBQ sauce, peppers, and red onions. This easy midweek winner used up leftovers while delivering big flavour. Recipe: https://www.instagram.com/p/DGfGhfvNjJ5/?igsh=dmUwOHVxaHduMHB0
Meal 4: Homemade Chicken Stock & Egg Drop Soup
Nothing goes to waste here. The bones were boiled to create a nutrient-rich chicken stock, perfect as the base for egg drop soup. We’ll be sharing the soup recipe later this week — it’s the ultimate comfort food. Recipe: https://www.instagram.com/p/DGmzgDJNuz6/?igsh=YmN6N2JwYWxqYndy
Meal 5: Chicken Wings & Salad
The wings made a quick and protein-packed lunch for one, served with a light salad. Perfect for those who love a no-fuss, tasty midday meal.
