Organic Chicken

[mbtaluka]

I am using Organic Chicken these days and it tastes very good when compared to other kind, did anyone check it out before??

I assume you mean nonorganic chicken when you say "the other kind". I can't see how one would taste better than the other, unless you change cooking methods.

I always thought chicken just tasted like chicken!

I've been buying free-range chicken for a while now and to be honest, I've never really noticed much of a difference in taste. At the same time it's a better ethical choice really and cost isn't as much of an issue now as it was in the past.

I have noticed the difference not on the chickens, but on the eggs. I buy "free range" eggs and they taste different than the regular eggs. The regular high production eggs have a little bit of fish flavor in them. Specially if you eat them soft like I like them (5 minutes eggs)

I haven't noticed in chicken either, but like berlin mentioned, there's a definite difference in eggs. I can't pinpoint it exactly like berlin did, but I would much rather spend on free range eggs than regular ones from the store.

Yeah! I tried both and for me it tastes the same but for me it's better to buy organic.

I guess it might be because of the taste of Chicken in India which differs widely when compared with Chicken in US. The organic chicken tastes more like the one in India. May be that is the only reason for me to say that it tastes different.

I have tried both. And to be honest I can not tell the difference. The only difference to me is one is better for you then the other.

Every time I buy free range or organic meat (raised on organic food), it tastes way better in my opinion. I just can't afford to buy it all the time.

Organic meat always tastes less fatty and grissly than other meat. By meat I mean chicken, beef and buffalo. I've read that the USDA allows a certain amount of gissle, fat, etc to be added back to hamburger during grinding. That probably accounts for the big difference I see in beef. Chicken is not quite as noticable to me, but I can still tell the difference.

I always think it is interesting that Chipotle Grill advertises their chicken as free-ranged, because each time I eat there I think, "this chicken is way too grissly to be organic." I just don't believe it is. But, it is healthier than most fast food.

I don't taste a difference in free-range organic eggs, but as someone else mentioned it isn't really about the taste. It is about the nutritional value and the environmental effects. I can SEE a difference in the free-range eggs. The yokes are more of an orange color, rather than yellow.
