M&S pack of 7 fresh drumsticks 99p!!

£2 /kg
Wow!

Very everyday price in every other food retailer across the land at some point, when it's their "turn!"
Last chicken deal posted was Sainsbury's at... you guessed it, £2 /kg

Haven't voted either way as this is fairly standard price for chicken legs, but they must be skinney little ******s if you get 7 in a pack! Reckon you'd get a better MEAT RATIO with the Tesco/Sainsbury equivilent.

standard price?! NO WAY! tesco n sains packs are 5/6 and £2.99+. never at 99p. hell even their chicken wings are at £1.39 a pop now! used to be like 89p! and im talking value/basics range... not standard which is worse!

tink I'll stick to ma M&S 99p bargain :D

can recommend there wise buy 1/4lb burgers 2pk 99p, and the coleslaw yum

Whatever, check out Tesco.com and Sainsburys.com

Tesco Chicken Legs
Value from 1.78 per kg
Normal from 2.29 per kg

Sainsburys Chicken Legs
Value from 1.78 per kg
Normal from 2.18 per kg

And these are legs from NORMAL sized chickens, not the skinny little pre-pubescent ones you're showing!

Less than 15p a drumstick - not just any drumstick but an M&S drumstick - got to be hot.

Haven't tried these, but the whole Oakham chickens are much better than other supermarkets. When roasted the meat is tender and white and falls off the bone; it's less fatty too.

god where are all the 'free the chicken brigade'

these are a evryday price as they have been 99p for months now its not a prom price either
there are lots of wise buys instore some good ones too also good offfers on various things at the moment
dont forget the valentines meal deal this weekend from £10

i can gladly say that oakham chicken is free range chicken as all oakham range is thats why m and s only sell oakham
they are kept in great conditions free to roam whenever they want to not like a battery farm at all

Thats NOT true!

M&S do 2 Oakhams....1 is standard (not FR) and the other is FR.

Oakham Chicken

All Marks & Spencer fresh chicken (whole birds and portions) is Oakham™ Chicken which is produced exclusively for M&S.

All our fresh Oakham™ chickens are produced on known, specially selected farms in the UK. Packaging on our whole chickens even shows the name of the farmer and the county where the bird was reared.

The Oakham™ chicken has been specifically chosen for its slower growth. It is this slower growth combined with the birds’ bespoke diet, rich in cereals (wheat, barley), soya and the high maize content, which produces an improved flavour and succulence.

The farms are regularly inspected by Marks & Spencer technologists and our suppliers’ specially trained auditors. This ensures they meet our welfare standards which are based on the Farm Animal Welfare Council’s recommendations and have been developed with animal welfare organisations.

Chickens are not housed in cages. Oakham™ chickens are reared in controlled environment barns. They are housed on straw or wood shavings and have constant access to food and water. The temperature and lighting levels inside the barn are controlled by the farmer. We know it’s important to give the birds plenty of space so we have adopted the RSPCA’s recommendation on stocking density, housing the birds at a maximum density of 30kg/m2.

The housing environments are designed to encourage movement and stimulate activity and natural behaviour. The lighting inside the house is used to create activity and we insist on having straw bales inside the barns which the birds use to roost and perch on as well as pulling and pecking at the straw.

Our Oakham™ Free-range chickens are housed in similar straw bedded barns to our Oakham™ chickens. In addition they have constant daytime access to the range on which they are free to roam. In the free-range system the internal house stocking density is 27kg/m2 and the area of range is determined on the basis of 1m2 per bird. To encourage birds to use the range area and to provide shelter our farmers use tree planting and whilst the trees are maturing use ‘wigwams’ made from conifer branches, which the birds use for shade, shelter and protection.

Marks & Spencer has developed its own Code of Practice for poultry feed for our Oakham™ chickens. This ensures birds are fed a wholesome diet to maintain optimum health and welfare. All poultry feed used by Marks & Spencer poultry farmers comes from known, independently audited feedmills. Because of these strict controls we know exactly what Marks & Spencer Oakham™ chickens are fed. Their non-GM feed is predominantly cereal based and contains wheat, barley, maize, soya and other plant proteins, as well as vitamins and minerals.

We prohibit the addition of any animal or avian derived by-products in any of our poultry feed. This applies to the breeding birds as well as the growing chickens. In addition, for many years Marks & Spencer has prohibited the use of antibiotics for growth promotion in the feed rations of all of its poultry and other livestock.

good deal, love m and s food, its all so yummy, their twin packs of sausages for £3 are delish and a bargain too!

It is a very good deal even if not FR...lol.

have only tried oakham chicken from M&S once, when they first started selling it & I wasnt keen, it had a really strong flavour, so havent bothered since, does it have a stronger flavour than 'normal' chicken or did i just have a dodgy one?
