I know what the missing ingredient is in today’s chicken -— farm raised chicken! Chicken from those huge industrial farms all tastes the same -— bland!, no matter the brand. I’m 71, and the chicken my mom fried tasted very different than what I fry. She bought it at the grocery store, or sometimes at a medium sized chicken processor. She salted and peppered it and rolled it in flour. That’s it. It was delicious.
We used to get our chickens from a local plucker. They handed it to you in a paper bag, still warm.
