I disagree that chickens taste better than most insects. My experience is quite the opposite.

Chicken is usually more bland, I guess. While insects vary a lot. Some can be pretty tasty, others quite awful.

In my opinion, chickens' white meat is the tastiest meat out there.

WRT "bland", that's why you cook your food. Throw in some spices and soy sauce and combine with greens or pasta.

The cooking and spices comment applies to insects too. I didn't say you have to eat insects by themselves. I still prefer them over chicken.

If we're talking about not using much seasoning/condiments/side dishes, then nothing beats nice beef.

And, in my opinion, chicken's dark meat is much better than the white.

You have never actually tasted a truly "pastured" chicken if you still think it tastes "bland". Read everything you can from Joel Salatin. :-)

The chickens we raised on pasture had the deepest flavor of anything we ever experienced and our birds were some of the healthiest I've ever seen.
