Dr. Mike Lacy is a poultry scientist. He elaborates on chickens. His grandmother thinks chicken used to taste better. Today's chicken is meatier, juicier, more tender and more consistent. It's against the law to give chickens steroids or hormones. Chickens are at the height of growth. Free range birds are older and have a different taste and texture. Birds grown on commercial farms have room to walk around inside of buildings.
