They almost certainly are a different breed; there are a bunch of chicken breeds indigenous to India. The are Indian chickens bred for egg-laying and those for meat. Also, the age of the chicken when slaughtered is a pretty big factor in how much flavor it has, as is the diet, which is probably the major reason supermarket CAFO chicken is flavorless.

Obviously, another problem America has with chicken is its addiction to chicken breast, which is really tricky to do well.

Can I just point out that this is a pretty weird combination of topics for a thread?
