Try a free range (preferably bought right from the farm) chicken. You may find
that the light meat has enough flavour to bother with. When I used to hook 'em
with a wire coat hanger and wring their necks in the back yard I used to prefer
the breask and wishbone pieces (different cutting scheme) while my mother
always like the thighs and my dad the back pieces.

With battery choooken the dark meat is all that has any noticable (and not much
of that) flavour.

      1 tb EVOO; 1 turn of the pan
      1 sm Onion; chopped
      2 cl Garlic; chopped
      1    Jalapeno pepper; seeded,
           - chopped

    1/2 c  Sun-dried tomatoes in oil;

    1/2 c  Smoky barbecue sauce
           Salt & fresh ground pepper
 
  Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and the
  sliced mushrooms to the hot skillet. Season mushrooms with black
  pepper, salt and thyme. Saute the mushrooms 10 minutes or, until dark
  and tender, then remove from heat. Transfer the mushrooms to a dish
  and return the skillet to the stove over medium heat.
  
  Add another turn of extra-virgin olive oil to the skillet and add the
  onions, garlic and jalapeno pepper; saute for 2 or 3 minutes, then add
  beans and corn to the pan. Stir in chopped tomatoes and barbecue
  sauce, then season salsa with salt and pepper. Transfer warm salsa to
  a serving dish.
  
  Heat a griddle pan or large nonstick skillet over medium to medium
  high heat. Add a drizzle of oil to the pan and 1 flour tortilla. Cook
  tortilla 1 minute, then turn it over. Sprinkle 1/2 cup sharp cheddar
  over 1/2 of the flour tortilla. Cover the cheese with 1/4 of the
  cooked sliced mushrooms. Fold the plain 1/2 of the tortilla over top
  of the filling and gently press down with a spatula. Cook the filled
  quesadilla 30 seconds to a minute longer on each side to lightly
  brown and crisp the quesadilla and melt the cheese. Remove the
  quesadilla to a large cutting board or transfer to a warm oven to
  hold, then repeat with remaining quesadilla ingredients.
  
  Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve with warm salsa for topping.
