Pretty easy to brine a chicken, why pay more for salty water?
No need for water if you're doing it at home either, "dry brining" works even better - literally just liberally sprinkle salt inside and out over the chicken and leave it in the fridge on a tray for 1 to 24 hours. Salt goes in, water comes out.
I do that sometimes as well, but my go to is injecting with brine / marinade.
Because sometimes you want take it out if the packet, Pat it dry and into he oven.
Coles @ $2.80/kg at the moment for a whole chicken. I agree, pumped up and fatty.
You get what you pay for.Aldi whole chickens have a lot less liquid in them. I've cooked plenty of both over the years.
Steggles admit to doing it. They call it - lightly marinated for tenderness.There is bugger all fat, not sure where you heard that.
Coles ones maybe, but the Steggles roast up beautifully. The brining makes for a very moist roasted chook. Just did one on the weber (2.66kg family size) and it's delicious.
Does anyone know if Broad Oaks' chickens are halal?
I just want to know how they managed to train chickens to climb Oak trees
Only God knows that.
Yes it is
Got some rotting chicken a few weeks ago from Aldi. I've decided to stop letting price determine what chicken I buy. Somewhere in Aldi's chicken supply chain someone did something wrong, and then Aldi tries to offload the tainted chicken cheap.
I got Aldi chicken a couple of times over several years and find that even when the use by date is 2 weeks away it still smells. I think their dating is different from Colesworth and do not buy chicken there anymore. But their ham, beef and pork seems to be fine.
Hey the same story happened to me twice in the last month! We have a toddler who opens and closes the door of our fridge as she pleases and was blaming her. I even asked my wife whether she found the door opened and left for the whole night! We left in the fridge and not the freezer as the use by date was still a week later!! Now that you have said the same I think something have gone wrong in their cold chain! I hope the idiots don’t repeat it and hope no one gets sick!
someone did something wrong
It's legal but factory farms make the chickens live their entire lives in the dark. So that animal welfare activist's images make less impact.
Yep…. without fail, everytime I buy chicken breast from Aldi, come home and open it a day or two later (still got a few more days till expiry) I get a bad off smell and it turns me off.
Why you keep buying it from them? It’s $6.90 this week at Drakes if you have one close
Rotting chicken! How unexpected! You bought a decomposing corpse of an animal. What were you expecting? Vultures don't go around complaining about the corpses they eat. Too much for being the top of food chain lol
so you buy rotten chicken to eat?
Is this their weekly special or normal price?
Great whole chooks for 3 meter flattys
Get the dogs
Only buy antibiotic free chicken
(and yes, we all know that hormones have been banned for 30 years, so no need to advertise that on the packaging … it's like saying your chicken is free from cocaine).
Does that even exist? With so many birds in a farm, they must use antibiotics otherwise there will be another outbreak of the avian flu. Here's a crazy idea, stop buying these corpses and secretions of animals, you'll do good for everyone and those poor creatures.
Whatever. No matter where or what I shop for I always grab from the very back, be it milk, chicken strawberries etc, anything fresh. I never trust that someone has put something down that they no longer want and a staff member has put it back. Just my 10c worth.
This is pre-covid btw.How chicken eaters' taste has changed.. Still remember the days when chicken breast used to be the king, and cost more than chicken thigh fillet.. Now it's the other way round. Argh.. Hate breast fillet 😂
To ensure longer freshness always grab the chickens back of the shelf and bottom lower rack that are the least exposed. The temperature of the chicken will be the coldest and you will find newer chicken with longer use by date. Also place the checken at the back of the fridge to ensure steady cold temp.
does anyone know how to cook these?
Yes, I do. In the oven.
Fyi my local aldi also had steggles whole chicken for $2.79/kg. I find the steggles chicken more moist as it's more than likely brined. You lose some weight to liquid but makes for a better tasting chook. About to out two into a wood fired oven post weekly bread/pizza cook.
