Assiette of chicken snobbery

The first time I tasted organic, free range chicken I knew that I could never again be satisfied with supermarket chicken.

The difference is not just some ethical/moral satisfaction - there is a marked improvement in both texture and definitely flavour.

Try it, I believe you will see what I mean and while you're salivating over the delicious morsel you may cheer yourself with the thought that you're not putting all those chemicals and hormones into your body with each bite and the meat you're enjoying hasn't come from a sad, miserable caged creature who never knew a day of freedom to scratch his little chicken feet in the dirt......

I digress....

Here, from a self confessed chicken snob is a delicous assiette of organic, free range chicken prepared 3 ways:

- Wrapped in prosciutto, stuffed with freshly chopped basil, cashew nuts, parmesan and King Island double brie, served on steamed asparagus.

- Crusted chicken strips marinated in buttermilk, served with blue cheese and sweet chilli dipping sauce.

- Chicken Wellington rolled with freshly made pepper pate and dry duxelle, wrapped in pastry.

Here are a couple of links to organic chicken in Australia.
