No time to cook? Pick up an IGA Hot Roast Chicken and find out just how easy dinner can be.
Whether you’ve had a busy day at work, a sports run after school, or simply don’t feel like spending an hour in the kitchen, picking up a hot roast chicken from IGA can be a real lifesaver. Hot, tasty and ready to eat, it’s an easy way to get a delicious meal on the table, stress-free.
But it certainly doesn’t end with dinner when it comes to this family favourite. Hot roast chickens are also brilliant for shredding into sandwiches and wraps, adding to pasta dishes and filling homemade winter pies. The Steggles variety is raised in large barns with no added hormones; they’re also a budget-friendly option, costing around $10.00 for a family-sized chicken.
It’s easy to see why IGA’s rotisserie chicken offering has taken out Canstar Blue’s award for customer satisfaction in the supermarket roast chicken category. Combining quality, convenience and fabulous value, it’s a trusted favourite for quick and delicious meals.
Our IGA review team is keen to lighten the load with a quick and delicious meal. They’ve received a voucher to purchase a hot roast chicken from their local IGA store. They’ll enjoy it at home with your family, then return to Mouths of Mums to share their thoughts with the community.
A delicious dinner shortcut the whole family enjoyed!
I did know IGA did hot chickens until now, and it’s honestly a game changer to our busy weeknights, the chicken was fresh, juicy and full of flavour and budget friendly. It made a super quick dinner before racing out the door for football training, dinner was on the table in under 20mins and a much better option then takeaway.

IGA’s Hot roast chicken is the thickest and heaviest chicken I have ever purchased. With competitor’s chickens, I rarely get left-overs for our family of six, however the IGA chicken was generous and plump. Succulent and not at all dry, it was moist and came with the right amount of stuffing. The skin was seasoned and tasty and I was very impressed with the temperature of the chicken, it was piping hot making it ideal as a convenient meal from shop to table.
The price point was very reasonable, making it an affordable and healthy dinner either as is, or as an accompaniment to sides etc. We ate it with salads and wraps and with the leftovers chicken noodle soup. All in all, I would recommend IGA’s hot chickens as a convenient, generous tasty meal idea for lunch and or dinner.

I was actually surprised of how delicious the hot roast chicken tasted, it was fresh and moist with great seasoning. My whole family really enjoyed it. When short on time an IGA hot roast chicken is the go to as it can be paired with pretty much anything or eaten on its own. Such great value and we will be purchasing our hot roast chickens from IGA from now on.

I was so pleasantly surprised. That was the best roast chook I’ve ever eaten. It was beautifully cooked and deliciously crunchy skin on the outside. The whole family commented how delicious it was. I will 100% be purchasing again and I can’t wait to tell everyone about it! Highly recommend!

A certain satisfaction came when I went into IGA and picked up my hot bagged chicken: I just knew that it was going to be a great meal. So golden and juicy, and the aroma! Taste didn't disappoint and there was enough for leftovers the next day as well as making a delicious broth from the bones. Would highly recommend every family gets an IGA chicken...at least once a week!

The last thing I wanna do is waste time when I could be spending it with my family
I love the convenience of picking up an IGA hot roast chicken
The chicken was soft and juicy and hot like it just came out of the oven
We added hours to a quick pasta and the chicken was such a good size that it gave us plenty of leftover meat to use for sandwiches and wraps for the week
I love how easy it is to throw something together using the roast chicken as a main

This is the ultimate convenience dinner, when your are stretched thin for time and you still want your family to have nutritious meal that is filling and comforting. There are so many different ways to used a hot cooked chicken and it's easy to cater to everyone's needs. We all loved having a filling wrap with the chicken and the leftover chicken frame, I kust popped into my freezer with my leftover vegetables scraps that I will make into a chicken stock. Such a great way to use the whole chicken. I would highly recommend IGA's hot cooked chicken.

I love the taste of the Hot Chicken, yummy skin on the outside, soft mouth watering tender chicken, the stuffing is a winner, it was evenly cooked & a good sized chook.
The whole Family said it tasted delicious and they love the chicken skin. I served it with gravy, baked veges and broccoli & peas. Which made a wholesome dinner. They want me to get more chicken for tomorrow night’s dinner.
On our next picnic I’ll buy a few hot chooks to make chicken sandwiches.
Convenient & healthy!
The bag seals well, so no leakage of any chicken juices.
I’d also like to make curry chicken and rice, easy as, the chicken is already cooked, so perfect when the family has busy times.
I’ll Definitely be buying more hot chooks from IGA, they have mine & the Families tick of Approval.

Sadly even though my store was on the list they did not sell the cooked chickens. I was going to get some raw chicken and cook that up but unfortunately the chicken was not to my standards. Not sure if it was because of the major renovations that were going on as it was even hard to get into the store with walking detours.

We are big fans of roasted chicken for supermarkets. However in the recent years the taste had declined along with size of the roasted chooks. We are glad IGA has two sizes that makes it easy when we need to either feed a fam of 4 or 6, we can pivot without having to buy 2 chooks when doing the latter. The flavours have always been good and the one we tasted was fantastic too. Well done and keep it up.

What do you do when one of your moved out of home kids needs some dinner? Head straight to your local IGA and grab a hot chicken of course!
Their chickens are big, freshly cooked and tasty. For under $20 you can get a chicken and a side or two that solves the last minute dinner dash. Thanks IGA, you’ve done it again!

What a lifesaver, I didn't know our local IGA offered hot and fresh roast chickens. Perfect for a quick dinner to please the whole family on those busy sport training nights. Some of us had the chicken with crusty bread rolls and salad, others preferred a wrap toasted in the sandwich press. Leftovers were perfect for school lunch sandwiches the next day! The chicken was so juicy and tasty, a real crowd pleaser at our place.

I was lucky enough to be selected to be a part of this review.
I am pretty happy with the Roast Chicken it was cooked really well and the meat was still moist and tasted nice.
We had it mixed through a pasta with cheese on top and baked in the oven. Was really nice and quick doing it this way. We even had some chicken meat left over for a sandwich the next day. Buying the chicken precooked at IGA was extremely easier than cooking it myself as I was out for the day and didn’t have the time to cook one.
Would buy a chicken from IGA again in the future.

For an easy, simple and quick on-the-go dinner, you cannot go past an IGA roast chookie. Flavoursome, large enough to feed to the family and one of the best go to meals out.
I was so impressed with the size of the roast chook too from my local IGA! We had enough to feed our family of four for two days! I did serve the chook with a serving of risotto to stretch out the meal, and used the leftover the next day to make up grilled chicken and cheese sandwiches.
I was a little dissappointed at the cost being $16.90 for a takeaway hot chook. I just don't remember them being that costly. For a once-off and for convenience it is great; but would love to see a much more competitive price so I would be more inclined to purchase more often.

From the moment I put my IGA hot chicken in the car, my mouth was watering. It smelt so delicious that I wanted to reach into the bag to pull a piece off to eat on the way home.
Fortunately it was on the back seat so my hot chicken made it home in one piece.
Not only did it smell delicious, it looked great too. I served it up with chips and salad for dinner that night and had enough left over to make myself a chicken and coleslaw roll the next day.
IGA hot chickens are great value for money and perfect for dinner, or lunch for that matter, when you have been on the go and need something quick and nutritious to eat.

Picked up an IGA roast chicken the other night and honestly, it hit the spot. The meat was still juicy, not dry like some supermarket roasts. The seasoning was simple but tasty, they removed salt all together makes it a very healthy dinner and we can flavour as we like.
It’s one of those easy healthy dinners that feels homely without the fuss. I just added a quick salad and some roast veggies, and it turned into a proper meal. For the price, it’s great value and saves me time on busy nights.
Would definitely grab it again, it’s the kind of comfort food that makes life a bit easier.

“My Floor Has Never Been So Clean”: The Mop That’s Winning Over Mums
Mopping isn’t exactly the chore most of us look forward to, but like most mums, for Katrina Macilroy, it’s unavoidable.
With three teenagers, a husband, a dog, two cats and timber flooring throughout most of her home, there’s plenty to keep her mop busy.
“I thought the toddler stage was hard, but teenagers take it to a whole other level,” Katrina told Mouths of Mums.
She describes herself as a ‘full-time Uber driver’ for her three kids, but when she’s home, she may as well be a full-time cleaner.
Her husband is a concreter, the family has plenty of sand coming inside and, with teenagers touching everything, the floors quickly show the evidence of a full family life.
“I have to mop like every second day because the floor gets marks,” she said.
So when Katrina was given the chance to try the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, she was keen to see whether it could actually make one of her least favourite cleaning tasks any easier.
“I didn’t have high hopes for it to start with, because I’ve used spin mops before and I’d been disappointed,” she admitted.
But it didn’t take long for her to change her mind. One of the first things Katrina noticed was just how easy the mop was to use.
The foot pedal made wringing the mop quick and simple, without having to stop and fiddle with anything.
“It was so easy to spin it,” she says. “It wasn’t like you’re spinning it for hours or anything.”
She was also impressed by how quickly the mop itself could be put together, and the simple button that releases the mop head for washing.
“That simple press notion, everyone can do that. So I love that.”
It’s The Little Things That Add Up
For Katrina, who regularly finds herself cleaning up after a busy family, these little details made a surprisingly big difference. She also loved the triangular mop head, particularly when it came to getting into the corners and edges that her previous mop struggled with.
“The triangle design makes it easy to get into all the little corners,” she says.
But ultimately, the big question was whether it actually cleaned her floors. Katrina’s answer was an enthusiastic yes.
“My floor has never been so clean,” she says.
Katrina was also surprised by how light and manoeuvrable the mop felt, because at just 4’11”, she says mopping can sometimes be an uncomfortable job.
“I’m not a tall person, so trying to mop is always just a horrible experience.”
But she found the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set easy to move around and able to go in different directions without feeling heavy or awkward.
And it wasn’t just the mop itself that won Katrina over. She says the bucket design solved one of her biggest mopping frustrations: accidentally tipping the bucket over.
With timber floors, getting too much water onto the floor is something she tries hard to avoid. “The amount of mop buckets I’ve tipped over and just gone everywhere,” she says.
That can turn a simple cleaning job into another mess to deal with, particularly when you’re suddenly scrambling for towels and a dry mop head.
But Katrina says the Vileda bucket feels much more stable because of its design.
And for someone who mops as often as she does, she says that has saved her time. “This thing has saved me so much time, I can’t get over it.”
The Only Mop You’ll Need
Katrina also admits that she’d previously convinced herself she needed a steam mop. She even bought one, only to discover that plugging it in every time she wanted to clean wasn’t exactly appealing.
“You have to plug it in like a vacuum. Like, that’s not fun, I don’t want to do that.”
After trying the Vileda, she says she’s no longer convinced she needs one.
“Why do you need a steam mop when you can get this one?”
For Katrina, the combination of being lightweight, easy to wring, simple to manoeuvre and able to get into those awkward corners has made mopping feel much less frustrating. And despite going into the trial with low expectations, she’s now very happy to recommend it.
“I’m not trying to sell you a product, but I’m just saying that I’m very impressed with it. It’s really good.”
Her final verdict?
“It’s been really, really good. Recommend!”
This Real Story was provided as part of a paid sponsorship opportunity. Katrina was chosen to share her story because she was sent out and tried the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, and genuinely loved it! And Vileda is so confident they’ve made the best spin mop ever, they’re backing the new & improved Easy Wring & Clean TURBO with a 5 Year Guarantee.
This mop so good and the views all are positive so I just purchased one on milkrun through Woolworths and it come with 2 mop head refills. Can’t wait to use it.
Yes, I couldn’t agree more. The Vileda spin mop is by far my favourite mop for a good thorough clean at home. I even got the landlords to purchase one for the holiday house I clean to make cleaning a breeze and get the job done properly. I always grab a spare when they’re out for half price.
Ah, I received a ‘you’re a finalist’ email from MoM for this fantastic mop but didn’t receive anything beyond that. I was looking forward to giving this a try to compare the three existing options I have but alas. Looks good, fingers crossed I can try it in the near future!
Omg! Yes! With 4 dogs and 4 teens AND the guests they bring home with them LOL our timber floors and tiles don’t stand a chance! I would love to see them add some wheels to the bottom of the bucket so that you don’t have to carry the bucket around with you.
This sounds like an excellent mop that makes cleaning so easy! I love a product that not only is as effective as advertised but makes a job less grueling. I gotta say though, a steam mop that plugs in sounds like an awful idea. I have a tineco floor mop, which is cordless and charges at a base, and it’s incredible on my white tiles.
