For some, the first play of Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You may signal the start of the holidays, but for the foodies among us, the only marker that matters is the arrival of The Best Dressed Chicken Roaster.

Everybody’s favourite show-stopper is now in stores as a statement that Christmas 2022 is definitely on, and in a big way! “All year long, we look forward to the day when the Roasters are ready to take centre stage at tables across Jamaica,” said Lorraine Kemble, brand manager, The Best Dressed Chicken. “We know people will be entertaining more this year, the big family dinners make a return, and there is a sense of optimism all around. We are proud that our Roasters will be a part of it all.”

You can enjoy The Best Dressed Chicken Roaster in myriad ways. The first order of business is to thaw your bird correctly. “We recommend thawing in the refrigerator, which gives you a consistent, safe temperature. In a pinch, you can use the cold water method of submerging the bird in cold water, but you must change the water every 30 minutes for a consistent temperature,” said Kemble.
