Buy better chicken, dude. Some farmers markets and butchers, especially in bigger cities, will likely sell heritage breed chickens, which have VASTLY more flavor- most modern chicken breeds are selected for fast growth and large breast size rather than flavor.

Find yourself a good butcher or farmers market. Some things to look for/try:
>dry aged beef
If you've never tried it, it's worth it- head and shoulders better. ~40 days is ideal. Basically enzymes in the tissue break down protein strands, making the meat more tender and more flavorful.
>duck
The red meat of birds. Really deeply flavored and delicious. Whole ducks tend to be comparatively cheap. Break them down, cook the breasts and legs, roast the frames- use the bones for duck stock and keep the rendered duck fat for cooking.
>goose
I'd contend these are even better than duck, though way harder to find. Goose fat makes GOAT potatoes.
>elk
Probably really hard to find, although they are farmed in some places- but worth it. Incredible flavor, best eating mammals imo. Easy to overcook though, and get dry as fu k if you do.
>bison
Think 'beef plus' in flavor. Same issue as elk above- really lean, and so really prone to overcooking.
>heritage breed pork
Really worthwhile. Way more flavor, more marbling, often softer, tastier fat. Berkshire is probably easiest to find, but others (Duroc, spotted, mangalitsa etc) are better.
>less typical cuts
Some cuts of beef, pork etc are great but hard to find becaPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
