FEATURE A Poultry Sum BY LAURA GOODMAN APRIL 30, 2015

It’s hard out here at the supermarket, choosing a chicken.

There are birds for £3.86 (about $6) and birds for £13.75 (a little more than $21). Some are organic, some are free-range, some are fed with corn, and others are conspicuous for their lack of a USP. The least convincing chickens of all have images of smiling farmers on their labels.

...

So, I went to France in the nineties with some other farmers, and we looked at the Label Rouge system—which was better than anything that was happening here at the time, because it was focused on tradition and quality rather than efficiency. (Label Rouge permits only certain genetics, which means farmers have to use slow-growing breeds.)

And we started trying new breeds. For a while, we used chickens that were bred in Israel. To be kosher birds, they had to have strong legs. We’ve used two or three breeds over the years, but we’re using a slow-growing Hubbard at the moment. They grow for seventy to eighty days. That means our “asset” cost is twice as high, because we’ve looked after ours for twice as long.

Taste-wise, you can’t pin it down to one particular thing, but slow-grown birds just make a better product. The skin quality is better. The meat is firmer and has proper texture. The taste is more complex. We’ve done blind tastings, and some of the cheaper chickens can have a reasonable amount of taste, but when you appraise the whole thing it just isn’t the same. And once you get used to chicken of a certain quality, it’s difficult to eat anything else.
