But finding and cooking one isn't as easy as heading to the local grocery store and buying a pack of chicken breast filets.

Here's how to cook a chicken that actually tastes like chicken. Heritage-breed chickens are defined by The Livestock Conservancy as breeds with four characteristics: they were recognized as an American Poultry Association Standard Breed prior to the mid-20th century, they are naturally mating, they can live a long and productive life outdoors and they have a slow growth rate — meaning they reach market weight in no less than 16 weeks. These are different than industrial-breed chickens – the kind you typically find at a grocery store or restaurant – in price, form, conformation and genetics. Heritage chickens aren’t typically sold in a grocery store, so you might have to do some research to find them in your area.
