Taste, flavour and texture are primarily consequences of natural and organic ripening products.

Indian Country^® Chickens are genetically identical to natural chickens and are grown at a gentle and moderate pace.

They have ample meat which is exceedingly soft and lacks both flavor and bite.

In the “good old days” when the chicken was regarded as connoisseur’s meat, these birds were raised on the range and they were generally more than 6-7 months of age before they attained 1 Kg livebody weight and were suitable to be used as meat. Because of their advanced age, the meat of the chickens hardened even though it was exceedingly flavoursome. Marination was thus a common practice that all cooks deployed to soften the meat, and get the best flavor and bite from the old range grownchickens. Indian Country^® Chickens are not old but even so their cooking quality and eating experience improves with marination.
