Organic chickens 'less flavoursome', researchers say

It will undoubtedly ruffle a few feathers among campaigning celebrity chefs. But according to a new scientific study, organically reared chickens are not as flavoursome as intensively farmed birds. The findings fly in the face of claims by campaigners who argue that consumers should opt for chickens which are allowed to roam outdoors. They say this environment makes for a naturally tastier option on the dinner table and justifies the more expensive price tag
