Halal Assurance
Halal Assurance
100% HMC-certified halal. Every animal is hand-slaughtered and independently monitored by the Halal Monitoring Committee from abattoir to our Bradford counter, and prepared to HMC requirements. Our shop is listed on the HMC website, see our HMC page for what the certification covers.

Fresh HMC-certified halal half chicken, cut to order at our Bradford counter, breast, wing, thigh and drumstick in one piece. Choose skin on for roasting, where the skin bastes the meat and crisps up, or skin off for curries, karahi and marinades that need to soak straight into the meat. Feeds two comfortably and cooks faster than a whole bird.

Why choose Ikhlas half chicken?
- HMC-certified halal: independently monitored and fully traceable.
- Every cut in one piece: white and dark meat together, so everyone at the table gets what they like.
- Halved to order: cut through the backbone cleanly at the counter, not a pre-packed portion.
- Skin on or off: skinned by hand if you choose skin off.
- Quicker than a whole bird: a half roasts in under an hour and grills flat in half that.
- Vacuum-sealed & delivered chilled: freshness locked in from Bradford to your door.
How to cook half chicken
Cook until piping hot with no pink at the bone (at least 75°C at the thickest part of the thigh).
Roast (skin on): 200°C (fan 180°C) for 45–55 minutes, skin side up, until the juices run clear.
Grill / BBQ: press it flat, marinate, then 20–25 minutes over medium heat, turning twice.
Karahi (skin off): joint it into 4–6 pieces, brown, then cook in the masala for 25–30 minutes.
Tip: score the thigh and drumstick to the bone before marinating so the flavour goes right through.
Serving suggestions
Roast with potatoes and salad, tandoori-style off the grill with naan, or jointed into a karahi.
