You all come from USA right ? How can you even imagine that she shiitee that you call chicken and that is sold everywhere around Thailand is good ? I am not sure that my dogs would it eat...

 

So I understand that we are among good food experts here :-)

 

If somebody knows what is a real good chicken, please keep posting !

 

 

You're joking, right?  The chicken in the US is so awful that after living in Thailand and enjoying the hormone and antibiotic-free, succulent, amazing chicken in Thailand, I can't even eat chicken in the US anymore...it tastes like cardboard.  Seriously, if you haven't tasted good chicken in Thailand...you must have no tastebuds.  Or no sense of smell?  Or are you blind?  Really...it's everywhere!  Try Sabai Jai Gai Yang on Sukhumvit soi 63 (about 2 km into the soi, on the left as you're coming from Sukhumvit) for starters...

OP, what you want to look for is "gai baan," which is the Thai term for "free range chicken."  It's all over the place, you just have to look a little.

I think you are projecting your own prejudice.

Sounds like I may have hit a nerve.

 

You perfectly know nothing, this is reaching ridiculous. Sorry but it's true.

If you could use internet for something else but facebook you would know that it's obviously the truth.

 

Pigs are dirty animals and are injected automatically antibiotics from the day they are born, and they also have many diseases.

 

 

You need to learn the difference between your own ill-conceived opinions and actual facts.

Gai baan isn't Thai for free-range chicken, it's just the most common breed, little black hen, kept by most and left to wander round. Pain in the neck, shit everywhere and were always nicking stuff out of the kitchen. Personally I don't like the taste of gai baan chicken.

 

I let my Rhode Island Reds wander 'free-range' but they're not called gai baan.

Haha, I saw the title of this thread and couldn't believe there were 5 pages of replies to such a moronic question. Now I see the OP is not a moron, just a pretentious <deleted>.

There is a place at beach road market. Stuffed with herbs and well seasoned.

The best grilled chicken in whole Thailand in my opinion. People talking about any Thai chicken even 5 star really need to learn what is good food.

Tesco chicken is the pits.

 

Of the few times I've developed severe food poisoning in LOS (the kind that lasts 3 busy days), twice was from Tesco chicken.  Yeah, should have learned from the first time, but a year later and a second chance from a different store -- bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt!

 

This may be more of a southern thing, in Chumphon there are a few people around the market that sell stewed whole chickens.  The same vendors also sell stewed pork pieces (mmmm, entrails!), so my guess is they're all cooked in the same pot.  The birds are usually plump and not overcooked, and are the meatier quality, different from the scrawnier variety that are called "fryers" in the US.  These vendors usually appear in the afternoon.  There's a woman who sets up her stall across the street the Big 1 store.  I want the heads removed, and it always gets a laugh when I do the finger-across-the neck gesture.

I think a lot of people here are mixing up two entirely different things:

 

--what something tastes like vs.

 

--how that something has been raised and whether it's been injected/raised with antibiotics, growth hormones and who knows what other kinds of chemicals.

 

I've had lots of Thai chicken that tastes and looks perfectly good. But that tells me nothing about how it's been raised and whether I'm getting dosed with chemicals when I eat the meat.

 

I've rarely seen any kind of restaurant or food shop in Thailand that promises its customers that their meats/produce is 100% free of growth hormone and/or antibiotics. And certainly not any of the chain shops or restaurants.

I very much like good chicken but chicken in Thailand has no taste.

I guess it has something to do with what the chicken are fed.

That being said, I noticed that it also has gotten worse in Europe. I bought a couple of chicken in France recently and they tasted like cardboard.

 

In Naklua, near Pattaya, some restaurants carry German grilled chicken on the menu and I think it is as good as chicken can get in Thailand, but all the yummy spices can not completely compensate for the inherent lack of taste.

 

I sometimes tried to make baked chicken wings in my oven using wings I bought at makro, but the problem was basically the same: no taste.

Tops and Central and other markets have Betagro's S-Pure brand of chicken and pork that, I believe, claims to be free of any added antibiotics or hormones. Whether any such claims in Thailand can be considered credible is always an open question.

Yes, I appreciated your post on Birds earlier. That's part of the reason I said RARELY seen any shop or restaurant in Thailand promising chicken free of antibiotics and growth hormones.

But would it be true?  No way to tell.

Same with organic produce in the US, which is sold at a (sometimes ridiculous) premium.

The only real good grilled chicken is the one that you cook yourself, and this look like a real recipe, not like any totally useless chicken found anywhere in Thailand

Keep in mind the largest chicken farming and poultry processing plants in Thailand are owned by Cargill, a giant USA agribusiness company.

You can buy gai baan (free range/not factory farmed chicken) but it's not easy to find. You would have to ask round your locality.

My missus swears by 'gai baan' and wont eat 'gai pun'. Found mainly for sale in Thai markets it has the best meat. Its had a better life too before the chop.

[jeab1980]

I find the next door neighbours chickens to be the tastiest. A lot easier to catch not so far to walk and free.

I used to eat a whole chicken for lunch almost every day. The best ones are from your local shop around the corner.. at least for taste. 

 

I once went to a famous local restaurant with a Thai guy and ordered a grilled chicken. I was very disappointed, as it was mostly just bone and skin. I asked the guy, <deleted> is this? He explained to me that this is actually the high quality chicken because it's not filled with hormones like those fat ones. Any thoughts?

Nothing to think about, this is absolutely the truth. GAI BAAN in Thai are free range chicken and because they can more and are not filled with hormones and other poisons, do not because as big as the 45 days chicken.

You guy is smart and I wish that more people understand this.
