We Cooked Every Chicken in the World to See if There's Any Difference

Does chicken breed actually matter? In this ultimate taste test, we butcher, cook, and compare every type of chicken we could find, from the cheap supermarket Cornish Cross to rare French breeds like Bresse, Marans, and Périgord. Each chicken is cooked the same way and judged on flavour, texture, and value for money to discover which one truly deserves the title of the best chicken in the world. Along the way, we visit farms, explore how breed, welfare, and feed affect flavour, and uncover why French poultry has become the gold standard for chefs everywhere. Featuring: Cornish Cross – the supermarket staple Norfolk Black and Indian Game – heritage British breeds Freedom Ranger – America’s take on free range Bresse – the most expensive chicken in the world Plus many more rare and historic breeds You’ll learn how farming practices and breed genetics change the way chicken tastes, what “free range” and “organic” really mean, and why some chickens cost £80 while others cost £3.
