This is a huge misunderstanding. Chickens only are tasteless if you are eating tasteless chickens.
Despite cooking it the same way, the Kampong chicken in Malaysia tastes very different from the chicken served in an osteria chilometro zero in rural Italy, which once again is distinct from the HuNan mountain chickens found in rural China.
And don't get me started on chicken in the Kyoto countryside, which was one of the most surprising things in my trip to Japan. Never knew chicken can taste like that.
- jghn 5y agoExactly. A while back I started getting all (well, most) of my meat from a local farm. This farm does the whole happy animals raised right thing. Flavor-wise, there are 2 things that keep me coming back for more. 1) The chicken doesn't just have flavor, it tastes good. 2) The fat in the pork is freaking delicious.
- cassianoleal 5y agoOh that's fair enough. In Brazil you can get "galinha caipira" which is a kinda free-range but turned up to 11. The meat is brown in colour, very dense and quite chewy, and if properly prepared salt is enough for it to taste great! That's not usually what people mean when they say "tastes like chicked" though.
