My unpopular opinion: Chicken in general is bland.
Take ANY chicken-based dish that tastes good, and it’s because of the seasoning and the sause. Now, if you take the exact same recipe, but substitute chicken for pork, it instantly transforms the dish into something so much better.
But that’s my point. Good chicken doesn’t need seasoning.
If your chicken is bland, you’re probably getting ones bred/raised for fast mass at all costs. Chicken broth is used for flavor in other dishes just as much as beef or pork is, because chicken can have plenty of flavor.
It also tends to be leaner and better for you, though. I eat my share of beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, and occasionally various fish. I’m not bashing any of them. But cheap beef and pork can be just as bland as cheap chicken. It’s all about finding a reasonable source.
