Product Description
To make these butterflied chickens we take a moisture infused free range chicken, butterfly it out and remove the back bone completely.
We then marinate them in Roza’s Basil Pesto (best pesto we’ve ever tried) and then top it with semi dried tomatoes & crumbled fetta.
Butterflying the chicken this way reduces the cooking time and also means it can be easily cooked over a low heat BBQ grill.
“Why moisture infused chickens”? Because a chicken that has been brined/infused is fool proof to cook and produces an incredibly moist & tender chicken, seasoned from the inside out – EVERY TIME. It’s our go to choice for BBQing and also ideal for novice cooks.

“I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed the basil pesto chicken for dinner tonight. I bought it at Coles Ascot. I cooked it on the Weber using the instructions on the website and it was delicious. I don’t usually buy pre-parepared food. We aren’t foodies, hate cooking shows and don’t do social media but we just wanted to send an old fashioned email compliment to share with your Chefs and broader team. Thank you.”
