Description
A whole broiler chicken weighing about 1.5kg, dressed and cleaned in the City Market shop and chilled for delivery. Sold as one bird at KES 750 — KES 500 a kilo on a 1.5kg bird.
Chickens do not grow to exact weights, so we list the sizes we actually get instead of pretending every bird is a kilo. Pick the size that fits the pot and we deliver a bird in that weight band.
Keeping Whole Broiler Chicken 1.5kg
- In the fridge
- 1–2 days only. Chicken is the one thing in the shop you should cook the day you buy it.
- In the freezer
- Up to 3 months. Freeze in the portions you will cook, not one lump.
- Defrosting
- In the fridge overnight, on a plate, covered. Never thaw chicken at room temperature.
Wash the board and knife in hot soapy water straight after — not the chicken itself.

On the cuts sold per kilogram you can order any weight from 0.5 kg in quarter-kilo steps. We cut as close to the weight you choose as the piece allows, and the price is for the weight you ordered.

Same day across Nairobi if you order before 6:30 PM. You pay by M-Pesa to till 9700565 when you place the order, and we start cutting as soon as it is confirmed.
Can you cut it differently? +
Yes. Thickness, trim, boneless, diced for stew, minced through the mincer — write it in the notes at checkout and the butcher will do it.
