Being serious ... about chicken and farm raised birds in general. I hunt and have eaten a lot of different birds from all around the country. Pheasant from western Kansas living in the grain fields wheat corn etc are wonderful but tough due to the flight muscles. Doves are very dark red meat. I would compare them to liver which is how I prepared them like a down south liver and onions. Wild Turkey is just great meat but again they spend more time running flying and doing things that make them tough.
The best way to get a chicken to be tender and juicy is to confine it with 10,000 other birds in close quarters and feed it a mixture of grain, meat protein, steroids and growth hormones. Do that and you can have a young tender bird in about 6 weeks butcher it right then because if allowed to grow it will quickly get so over weight that it will not be able to support its own weight and will die a pretty miserable death and possibly contract disease. But even then you can grind its carcass along with all the other waste from the chicken house and spread it across all the neighboring fields as fertilizer. Which then gets fed to the beef cows But hey don't worry about all those steroids and growth hormones and disease. It will all soak down below the water table and be washed away over time.........
On second thought... Eat those Polish chickens you will be happier and healthier
