Corn fed chicken doesn’t mean free-range. Unfortunately, the cheap chickens are still making it to our shelves. I know it’s tempting, but don’t buy cheap chicken. Buy twice as less (may be once a fortnight rather than once a week) and indulge in a good corn-fed free range bird. Your tastebuds will thank you for it
I do agree Nanazolie, but not everyone gets that message. I’ve given up telling some friends that St Bernard chicken or Tesco Value chicken is unpleasant, stringy, a false economy etc! And of course for many people struggling to feed a family of five, the cheap chicken is the only option.
