  • Prepped and ready to bake

    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.

    Hubby bought this home the other night for dinner. So easy to cook and super tasty. The whole family enjoyed it.
    We popped it in the oven with some roast veggies. So easy! The flavour was also very nice and it was easy to cut into portions for serving.

    Yummy! I came across this one by chance at Woolies the other day when the shelves were looking at little bare and I am now converted, this will be our go to Sunday dinner. I love that it’s versatile and can be cooked whichever way is convenient to what other side dishes you may be making.

    It’s definitely a step up from store bought bbq chicken when you can pull the roasting tray of chicken and veg out of the oven – and Steggles has made it so much easier and tastier! The whole family enjoyed this, nothing left to show for it!

    The smoky charcoal split chicken made it easy to prepare dinner for a fussy eater. My family loved the taste and enjoyed eating the leftovers cold for lunch the next day. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs an easy meal as it’s as simple as putting it in a baking dish and popping it into the oven!

  • Will buy again

    I was surprised, this chicken is seriously yummy. Flavour wasn’t too strong. Has a sweetness to it. Couldn’t actually believe everyone ate it, even my kids with autism came back for seconds. Really moist and plenty for the whole family. Steggles split roast chicken is something I’d definitely buy again and it’s a great price.

  • A great quick option for summer barbies!

    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.

  • Easy and Delicious meal

    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.

  • Yummo

    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.

  • Charcoal Chicken

    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.

  • Flavour is delish!

    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.

  • All my friends are now fans!

    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.

  • So Easy! So Juicy!

    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.

    The flavours are delightful and the taste succulent. Definitely a winner winner for a family chicken dinner!!
    There was even enough left lever for lunch the next day which means we were lunchtime enough to have it twice. And it tastes just as good the next day in either a sandwich or a salad.

  • Such a tasty chicken!

    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!

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • We often have homemade pizza nights aka fakeaway night! And my pizza is always on a low carb Pizza base with roasted and sundried tomato and capsicum. My fav combo with grilled chicken and a swirl of peri peri mayonnaise! Making our own is always better than takeaway versions and healthier!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.
