This is the busy Mum’s new best friend for dinner. Your family will think you’ve spent hours marinating and preparing this chicken but it’s all been done for you, saving you so much time. I just threw this in the air fryer and let it do the rest of the work. The flavour is delicious and gentle enough for young kids. I like the smokey flavour so much especially when it’s cold outside. You can throw this on a bun or add some veggies in while it cooks to have a complete meal. Can’t wait sit to try more flavours.
I love the convenience. Don’t need to prepare the chicken, the job is already done!

With a newborn we’re always looking to make entertaining easier – and this split chicken certainly was!
We have family dinners every Sunday and we popped this on the barbecue along with some steaks and served it with salad, corn on the cob and bread. I loved that it was gluten free so I could enjoy it as well as my gluten eating family.

I brought this to feed myself and my 3 sons. It made dinner time a lot more smoother and less time consuming, plus, it was delicious and a meal that my sons ate and had no left overs. This is a meal that I can highly recommend for those people who just want an easy meal that wont take up time. Put it in the oven, make a salad/Mash/ or a side meal, and there is your meal. Easy, quick and conventient.

So convenient and yummy! Awesome flavours, could be used for lunch, dinner, family gatherings, Easter, Christmas, any holiday at all really. My little one is super picky and actually loved this chicken aswell which is great for me as there’s now a little more variety in what we as a family can have for lunch or dinner. I’ve been looking for yummy chicken for a while as I usually eat a lot of red meat (mostly steaks and love a good bolognese or rissoles) but this is definitely a new weekly special on our menu.

This is such a great Sunday Lunch Meal for the whole family. The charcoal taste in the chicken is unbelievable. The idea that it is already prepared for you saves so much time that you can spend with your guess. The leftovers the next day are just as tasty as when it was first cooked. Great on sandwiches or even in a salad.

This is one of my favourite flavoured marinated chickens to purchase! It’s really delicious. My family truely enjoys this one. It’s good value for money and goes nicely with a salad or vegetables. We cook it on the barbecue which cooks a bit faster then the oven, and it just crisps up really well. Can’t wait for this to become available again at my local Woolworths.

I forgot to say in my other review that lots of my friends are now converted to the Steggles Split Charcoal Chicken. They tasted it at dinner at my place and now told me they’re all onto it.
Haha no wonder there’s no stock – I’ll raid their fridge instead of going shopping hee hee. Thanks again.

Thanks to Steggles and Mouths of Mums for including me in this trial. It did take quite a while for my two closest Woolies to get these in with that chicken shortage but now they’re there all the time. My whole family loved the taste and texture and I loved it is a complete ‘no brain required’ dinner. Perfect for work from home days … at 4.30 just slide onto an oven tray and dinner ready at 5.45pm. I usually tuck red onions and hunks of other veges all around the chicken so they cook together. There is lots of juice so the veges aren’t crispy but they are melt in your mouth. The chicken flavoyr was loved by all. Best of all because it’s been marinating for ages, it literally slides off the bones so no waste at all.
I think these are pretty life changing (well to me anyway) so I now have 6 in the freezer – ready to take out in the morning to defrost then cook at night.
Leftovers would be amazing in anything – risotto oh my god would be so yum. But NO leftovers at our house LOL!
Hubby wanted leftovers for work – he told me to cook two at once from now on.
Clearly a winner with this member and her little chickens (and the rooster).

I was not selected for this product test so I bought it as I wanted to try it. This Chicken is ideal for a quick and delicious meal. It’s flavorful and delicious, and it’s wet and juicy. Our chicken was cooked to perfection in the air fryer in around 35 minutes! It was a big hit with the whole family, even our child, and I’ll be ordering it again.

We finally bought this at the supermarket. It was sold out for so long at my local woolworths, but finally they had it in stock and I got to try it! Decided to cook it on the BBQ to get that extra delicious flavour and crispy skin. Then chose to finish it off in the oven so it didn’t risk drying out. I was just expecting a marinade flavour, but the chicken tastes amazing throughout. The whole family absolutely loved it and I loved how simple it was, just remove from the packet and cook! We chose to have roasted vegetables with it and it couldn’t have been more tasty! Very keen to purchase this again!

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.
I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
What a great help for busy Mommas like us. From the style to comfort and convenience, this article really put the best for our kids. Not to mention the added info about safety on what these lunchboxes were made of! I am also impressed about the organisation function of each, it seems small but woooh could put so much…thanks for sharing this article
