Frozen Whole Chicken

There’s nothing quite like a good old-fashioned roast chicken dinner, especially when you know exactly where your chicken came from!  Get your frozen whole chicken from Nemcsok Farms. 

Our free-range chickens are raised right here at Nemcsok Farms, just north of Englehart in Northern Ontario. They enjoy access to the great outdoors, plenty of fresh air, and the opportunity to do what chickens do best: scratch, peck, and generally mind their own business.

Our chickens are processed at a nearby, fully licensed facility and frozen for freshness. Whether you’re planning Sunday dinner, filling your freezer, or making a big pot of homemade chicken soup, our frozen whole chickens are a great place to start.

Ordering Your Whole Chicken

Simply select one of the available weights when placing your order. Each whole chicken comes frozen, ready to thaw for cooking or for stocking away in your freezer for another day.

And here’s the good part: we offer FREE delivery from Cobalt to Larder Lake!

Place your order by 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, and we’ll deliver it right to your door by Saturday. No need to make a special trip to the grocery store.

From Freezer to Dinner Table

Not sure what to do with your frozen whole chicken? You’ve got plenty of options!

A traditional roast chicken: Thaw your chicken in the refrigerator, season it with your favourite herbs and spices, and roast it until golden brown. Add some potatoes and vegetables, and dinner practically takes care of itself.

Slow cooker chicken: A thawed whole chicken can be cooked low and slow for tender meat that’s easy to shred for sandwiches, casseroles, soups, and other meals.

Homemade chicken stock: Don’t throw away that carcass! Once you’ve enjoyed your roast chicken, use the bones to make a delicious homemade stock. It’s a great way to get another meal out of your purchase.

How Long Does It Take to Thaw a Frozen Whole Chicken?

Plan on approximately 24 hours in the refrigerator for every 4–5 pounds of chicken. Larger birds may need an extra day. Keep your chicken on a tray or in a container on the bottom shelf of your refrigerator while it thaws.

If you’re short on time, you can thaw it in cold water using leakproof packaging, changing the water every 30 minutes, but under cold running water is best. Cook it immediately afterward.

For safe cooking, use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
