Jenny-o ground turkey really takes it to the next level, though. That stuff is impossible to brown. If you put it in a dry pan it releases more water than there is meat.


And then the turkey meat that's left doesn't dissolve when it's chewed. I still reflexively add it to spaghetti but it's nasty.

The chicken used to have natural juices in it that added flavor -- water just doesn't do the trick. "Normal" chicken is now over $20.


Which brands sell this?

I think the poster meant grocery store. Probably auto correct.

Most chicken tastes disgusting now. Don't know if it's how they're raised or what but it's gross. That's why they have to be injected with brine and flavoring. The meat is a strange consistency too.

Many of the chickens you buy uncooked are also injected with salt brine. So what? As long as you are not on a low sodium diet, there is nothing wrong with that.

I completely agree.

I don't touch any factory meat, so for me what is in the refrigerated section vs when is under the heat lamp in the same thing.

BTW, Are those rotisserie chickens good?! They look gross.

Some of them have been injected with brine and other forms of salt.
