How To Store 

Please Note: If you plan to purchase a Luxury Five Bird Roast before December 18th, please remember to store it in the freezer until you’re ready to cook it. Properly freezing your bird will ensure it stays fresh and flavourful for your Festive celebrations.

Remove the Five Bird Roast from its wrapping, Place it onto a wire rack and sit the rack on a plate. Pop the plate into the bottom of the fridge, making sure you have allowed space around the bird for the air to circulate. It is really important to make sure your bird stays cold and dry and must be kept refrigerated below 3°C. 

Thawing:
If your roast is frozen, planning for proper thawing is important to ensure even cooking and food safety. For best results, allow 24 hours of thawing time in the refrigerator for every 2.5 kg of meat. For this means you should allow approximately 2 to 3 days for the roast to thaw in the fridge fully.

Here are a few additional tips to ensure your roast thaws properly:

• Keep it in the original packaging while thawing to prevent any potential contamination or mess from leaking juices.
• Place the roast on a tray or in a shallow dish to catch any liquid that might escape as it defrosts.
• Ensure your refrigerator stays at or below 4°C

Avoid thawing the roast on the countertop at room temperature, as this can lead to uneven thawing.

How To Cook 

Cooking Instructions for a Pre-Bought 6 kg Five-Bird Roast

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. Preparation:

   • Remove the five-bird roast from its packaging.
   • Pat it dry with paper towels to ensure a nice crust.
   • If desired, season the outside of the roast with salt and pepper. You can also rub it with olive oil or butter for a richer flavour.

3. Roasting:

   • Place the five-bird roast in a roasting tray.
   • Roast in the preheated oven. A general rule of thumb for cooking time is 20 minutes per kg, 
   • Halfway through cooking, you can baste the roast with some of the juices or additional oil/butter to keep it moist.

4. Check for Doneness:

   • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The five-bird roast should reach an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F) at its thickest part.
   • If you find that the roast is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminium foil to prevent burning.

5. Resting:

   • Once the roast has reached the desired temperature, remove it from the oven.
   • Cover it loosely with aluminium foil and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and makes for a juicier roast.

6. Serving:

   • After resting, slice the roast carefully. You can serve it with your favourite sides,
