Maryland Whole

Our Chicken Maryland (Whole) is a flavourful, juicy cut consisting of the thigh and drumstick attached — perfect for hearty meals and full-bodied flavour. With natural bone-in richness and slightly higher fat content than breast, Maryland pieces stay tender and moist during cooking.

Ideal for oven roasting, BBQ, grilling, or slow cooking, this cut delivers crispy skin and succulent meat, making it a favourite for family dinners and comfort meals. It absorbs marinades beautifully, from classic herb and garlic to bold peri peri or tandoori flavours.

Freshly prepared at Ruse Quality Meats, our chicken Maryland reflects over 30 years of butchery expertise and commitment to premium quality poultry.

Best for: Oven roasting, BBQ, grilling, slow cooking

Cooking tip: Roast at 180–200°C until golden and cook to an internal temperature of 75°C for juicy, tender results.
