2. quail 2. grill
3. pigeon 3. stew
4. partridge 4. toast
5. You need to prepare chicken ballotines filled with a chicken farce and you are starting with a whole
chicken.
a. Which equipment and utensils would be required to complete this task including de-boning and
cutting the whole chicken?
b. What are the safety requirements which must be considered?
c. What are the requirements for assembling the food processor in a safe and hygienic manner?
d. What are the requirements for ensuring the sharpness of knives is maintained during the
preparation of poultry? How is this done?
1.Select type and size of knives and other equipment suitable to requirements
2.Make sure that: Knives and other equipment are clean and ready for use
Mise en place includes food preparation and preparation of all equipment. Prior to commencement of the
service period you should make sure that all your equipment is ready and serviceable. This will save time during
service and possibly even prevent accidents which might occur if you have to assemble equipment in a hurry.

Confirm safe assembly and cleanness of equipment. All electrical equipment should be checked to make sure
that cords are not worn and frayed and that the switches work correctly. Electrical equipment that has not been
tested and tagged should not be used.
Machinery that has specific safety requirements (guards on meat slicers) must be checked to ensure that these
things are in place.
Temperature controls on deep-fryers and ovens should also be checked tor accuracy.
chopping boards should have damp cloths underneath them to stop them from slipping
• handles of pans should not protrude from the stove top where they can be knocked off
• ask for help if you do not know how to use a piece of equipment
• wash all equipment thoroughly before changing the foods on which it is use
Methods and procedure to ensure sharpness of knives
Kitchen tools and equipment, whether mechanical, handheld or fixed, must be properly maintained— to ensure
they are in peak operating condition—regularly washed, sanitised and properly stored so they do not contribute
to bacterial growth and cross-contamination. Regular maintenance with a honing steel, as well as intermittent
sharpening on a stone will keep knives sharp and useable. There are many ways to use a steel and a stone.
Start with the chicken positioned breast—side up. The legs should
be pointing toward you. Cross the legs and tie them with twine.
Loop the twine around the crossed legs and tie it as tightly as
possible, so the legs are snug against the chicken’s breast. Trim the
excess twine. Use the scissors to cut off the excess length of twine
after you’ve made the knot to prevent the twine from burning

during cooking .Tuck in the wings. Place the chicken in the roasting
pan and tuck the wings behind the neck area of the chicken.
8. What are the storage, temperature and thawing requirements for frozen poultry?
Fridge, cold room or frozen Perishable food must be Foods should always be thawed in
kept Below 5◦C and below a refrigerator or cold room, where
-18◦C the temperature remains constant
and below the danger zone,
restricting rapid bacteria growth
9. What are the storage requirements for cooked poultry products on display or for sale or further use,
including labelling where relevant?
Storage Requirements
Your organisation should have regular procedures for checking, recording and validating temperature controls
including cold storage monitoring and data logging. These procedures should be incorporated into the
organisation’s HACCP plan (or other recognised food plan). Use-by dates on all packaged products should be
noted and foods that have passed use-by dates should be wasted. It is, therefore, important to regularly check
supplies and to ensure appropriate stock rotation procedures are maintained—FIFO—first in first out—to
prevent waste. When placing orders or when buying product, check use-by and best-by dates to ensure that
there is sufficient use time. The first in first out (FIFO) principle must be followed. This means that old stock must
be moved to the front of the shelving on which it is placed and new stock placed at the back. It may mean that
existing stock has to be taken off the shelf to enable new stock to be stacked behind it.
Stock rotation is about ensuring that the quality of stock is always at its prime by selling it in such a way that
there is never old stock on the shelves.
10. What is the purpose of a marinade? List the 2 different types of marinades and provide 2 menu
examples for their applications:
Purpose of a Marinade
Marinades add flavour and moisture to meat and help tenderise it. They are usually made up of three
components: acid, oil, and herbs. The acid helps to partially denature the meat s protein, opening up tunnels in
the meat structure where flavour can seep in.
11. As a guideline, what is the approximate cooking time per kg of poultry for roasting?
The more precise way to test is to use an instant-read thermometer. At the end of the recommended cooking
time, insert the thermometer probe into the thickest part of the meat. For chicken and turkey, the internal
temperature of the dark thigh meat should be at least 75 ◦C. The white meat of the breast should have reached
71◦C.
12. Provide a brief description for the following cookery methods applied to suitable types and different
cuts of poultry. Also provide 1 menu example for each method:
Cookery methods Description of application and use of suitable cuts and or types of bird
Boiling Generally applied to older, poorer quality birds, especially chickens.
Boiling can tenderise the meat.
Deep Poaching Good for tender meats such as chicken breasts and turkey fillets.
Stewing Recommended for tougher meats but can be used for more tender cuts, such as in a
fricassee.
Drumsticks and boned and bone in thighs might be stewed- cacciatore, coq au vin etc
Braising Can be used for a whole duck or goose or for smaller, out pieces of poultry, or for quail.
Shallow-Frying Suitable for the most tender and best quality cuts of poultry, such as Supremes (fillets).
Poultry might be coated, fried in herbs for flavouring or marinated
Sauté Chicken Chop the chicken breast into small pieces , and fry
Deep-Frying Can be used for coated poultry portions, such as a crumbed chicken Kiev or chicken pieces
in a tempura batter.
Grilling Very suitable for chicken and turkey portions and for quail and spitchcock, which can be
grilled whole.
Roasting For cooking whole poultry. A whole chicken, duck, turkey or goose or pheasant might be
roasted.
lt is recommended to stuff the bird for increased flavour and truss for a compact shape
that is easier to carve. Birds might be boned and stuffed before roasting.
13. List 6 important hygiene factors which must be applied when handling and processing poultry:
Hygiene Factors
1.Clean work area
2.Reusable by products according to organisational procedure
3.Temperature control
4.Clean machinery and equipment
5. cost- reduction initiative
6.dispose of or store surplus
14. Calculations
You require 3.200 kg of chicken meat to produce a farce. A chicken size 16 has a net yield of 70 % meat.
a. What is the total weight of chicken you would require expressed in 0.000 Kg? (round your answer
to 3 decimal places)
A whole chickens size 16, 1.5-1.7kg 3.2kg/70%= 4.571kg
b. How many whole chickens size 16 would you need to order from stores?
15. Select 3 different dishes using poultry and game birds and provide a suitable starch, accompaniment
and sauce for each dish:
16. Provide a brief overview of the nutritional values of poultry in general, turkey specifically and game
birds like emu and ostrich:
17. What are the typical steps involved for carving poultry as part of a presentation, buffet or function to
ensure correct portioning and mix of meat? How would this vary for emu or ostrich meat?
18. You are working in saucier section of a hotel. You are preparing various poultry cuts and feathered
game for a function.
1. What is required to ensure a food safe workspace and equipment during preparation and service
and at the end of the shift?
All perishable food should be covered and placed on shelves in the cool room .separate different food
groups in order to prevent contamination .cooked foods should always be shelved above raw foods
.ensure that cooked foods and raw foods do not come into contact with each other .hot foods (for
example pots of pastry fillings) should be covered and put into the cool room for quick cooling down; large
quantities should be divided into small containers in order to make chilling more effective cold foods and
cooked products that have cooled properly should be covered, labelled and stored appropriately in the
cold room .any frozen foods which have been thawed should be covered and refrigerated (not refrozen)
unused dairy foods (milk, butter, etc.) which have been used for service or held at room temperature for a
period of time should be thrown out .store meats, vegetables, dairy foods separately .store dry goods in
sealed, clearly labelled airtight containers, making sure that they have not been contaminated or tainted—
check use-by dates as rancid flours, for instance, cannot be used to make quality products .any
contaminated foods should be disposed of all foods should be stored on clean trays or in clean bowls,
buckets .Do not place prepared foods back on the trays or into the containers they were taken from prior
to preparation and handling .perishable foods should be held at temperatures around 4°C .covering and
storing foods appropriately will help prevent cross-contamination .frozen foods must remain frozen .Store
sauces, if made from dried food, do not refrigerate. Wrap and store at room temperature. If made with
ingredients that are normally refrigerated, seal by wrapping in plastic wrap, an airtight container or plastic
bag and refrigerate. Dispose of unused garnish at the end of the service period.

2. What does this need to include to prevent wastage of leftovers or by-products from preparation?
List 2 examples of how offcuts and trimmings from poultry and feathered game could be used to
boost food costs.
When preparing foods for service or to accommodate recipes, there will often be leftover product. You
might purchase restaurant cuts from a butcher (supplier), however, in some cases, kitchen stall will be
responsible for cleaning, trimming and preparing both first and second cuts ready for use. This might
involve boning birds, trimming excess fat and connective tissues, rolling or trussing birds or the cuts from
the birds, and cutting product into suitable portion sizes. Ensure that meats are properly handled, waste is
managed properly and that prepared meats are stored on clean, covered trays in the cold room, until they
are used. Trimmings or offcuts , bones etc. can be used to make stocks, sauces or soups. Good quality,
fresh stocks form the base of good quality sauces and soups.
Good quality meat trimmings or offcuts can be diced to make stews or kebabs, or minced to mak, pasta
sauces, meat patties, meat loaf etc.
Unusable trimmings—lymph nodes and blood vessels are waste and should be disposed of. By-products
should be stored (covered, on trays), provided they have not been out at room temperature for more than
two hours, in the cold room or frozen (wrapped, labelled and sealed). Product that has previously been
frozen must not be refrozen.
