"Flavor Arms Race." [...] is delicious, but maybe we're at
risk of losing sight of the chicken in the process."

I'm all for having things not too heavily flavored... let the
natural flavor come through... that said, there is a place for
having something sorta over the top on occasion

Supermarket battery chicken slaughtered at 5 to 8 weeks of age lack flavour and need all the help they can get

Even some of them might not need all that much help... especially if one
is using thighs... ;) And does have a flavorful sauce... :)

but truly free range birds allowed to grow and mature for 4 to 8 months are awesome and don't need anything but perhaps salt. One of Roslind's sisters is a working cattle rancher who raises a few dozen chickens
and turkeys on the side for family and friends. By Thanksgiving her
spring chickens weigh about 8-9 pounds, have darker meat, are quite
fatty and are very flavourful.

Now those DO sound very good... :) I might not even mind the "white"
meat so much on those... ;)
