Chicken protein is not as cheap when farmed sustainably and even if farmed sustainably it is rife with problems and risks. Where I live "ethical" (less densely farmed) chicken is 12 euro/kg and "organic" (sustainably farmed) chicken is 24 euro/kg (both thigh fillet) so there's a factor 2 right there.
If they could come to be just the same price as "ethical" chicken that would be amazing. I think it's been shown that there's not much market for meat replacements at a premium (like impossible and beyond). But I can't imagine there's not an insane market at the parity. I know I would buy insect burgers for my family at least once or twice a week if they had comparable quality to chicken and similarly priced.
