In the UK chicken is at the top of my list of foods worth paying up for for a superior grade. It’s really noticeable how a free range or organic (Expensive, sadly. Think $20ish for a small bird) bird differs from the (rather cruelly) mass produced product. Bigger, stronger bones, less flabby fatty skin, much better flesh structure, and a way nicer flavour. Organic lemons are high on my list too.
Does where you shop carry a higher grade of chicken? Could be worth a try.
