Does any main supermarket sell "higher welfare" chicken thigh fillets?

I've been using chicken thighs a lot more recently, more flavoursome than breast. I've often bought them from Ocado which has lots of decent "higher welfare"/organic thigh fillets (skinless and boneless) but when I go to Tesco, Sainsburys or even Waitrose the ones on the shelves are either the bog standard basic range, or if they even have organic ones they are skin-on, bone-in, which I don't always want.

Just wondered if I'd been unlucky (my Tesco has a tiny section for free-range/corn-fed/organic chicken anyway, and acres of basic range) or if there wasn't much market for it so nowhere really does it?

I'm not particularly snobby about organic etc, I tend to prefer it for meat, I'm wondering whether this is a thing that's actually available other than on Ocado!

I've had Tesco 'free to roam' chicken thigh fillets before.

Ah yes thanks, I've seen that range but my one only has chicken breasts that I've seen. I thought it was a big Tesco but comparatively it's not! (Or maybe they're always out of stock there as those shelves are often a bit bare)

ASDA do boneless, skinless organic chicken thighs

Waitrose do Duchy ones but they’re very expensive.
You might be better buying online?

Waitrose always has them as do ASDA & Sainsbury’s to be fair.

I had a close look at the Duchy ones today and my Waitrose only had skin-on, bone-in ones...
Think it must just be the size of the shop then! It's definitely something I've noticed for a few months.

The fact they exist is good though, I might contact my local supermarkets to ask if they can stock them. And carry on with Ocado otherwise.
Thanks all!

We get free range ones from Sainsbury’s all the time. Used to get them from Tesco.
