On buying such chickens, do you get a cooker thrown in? (4-5)
I believe the answer is:
free-range
'on buying such chickens do you get a' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'cooker thrown in?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'cooker' could be 'range' (I've seen this before) and 'range' is present in the answer.
'thrown in?' could be 'free' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'free' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for free-range that I've seen before include "Not battery farmed" , "Allowed freedom of movement, chickens say" , "Non-battery" .)
