Tastiest chicken?

[ChickenReaper]

Hello there,
I travel the country looking for the meatiest flightless birds this world has to offer. Any recommendations for chicken types to purchase? All purchased live a good free range life until slaughter time.

I don't raise meat birds, but I'm nosing around anyway.

What are your selection criteria? Tenderness? Flavor? Weight gain? Weirdness?

Rumor has it that the Bresse are the most desirable meat birds. But, part of that has to do with how they are raised and fed.

A comment on this board indicated that much high end chicken in fine restaurants comes from Turkens.

la fleche is also supposed to be at the top of the list
