INFORMATION SHEET 10.1-1

Selection of Poultry and Game

Learning objectives:

After reading this information sheet, you should be able to select and purchase
poultry and game.

Understanding Poultry and Game

The versatility, the popularity, and the relatively low cost of poultry items
make them ideal for all kinds of food service operations. Also chicken and turkey are
popular among diet-conscious people because they are lower in fat and cholesterol than
other meats.

Composition and Structure

The flesh of poultry and game birds is muscle tissue, as is the flesh beef,
lamb, veal, pork, and game. It’s composition and structure are essentially the same as
those of meat.

Free-Range Chickens

Most chickens on the market are produced by large operations that


house their poultry indoors in carefully controlled environments and feed them
scientifically monitored diets. Some farmers, in response, offer free-range chickens,
which are allowed to move around freely and eat outdoors in a more natural
environment.

A term related to free-range is organic, which has recently been defined


by the USDA as food produced without using most conventional pesticides, fertilizers
made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge, bioengineering, or ionizing radiation.

Less connective tissue
Cooks faster

“Dark meat” –legs (drumsticks and thighs)


More fat
More connective tissue
Takes longer to cook

Classification and Market Forms

The following terms are used to classify poultry.

Kind –the species, such as chicken, turkey, or duck.


Class –the subdivision of kind, depending on age and sex.
Style –the amount of cleaning and processing.
Live: almost never purchased in food service.
Dressed: killed, bled, and plucked. Also rarely seen in food service.
Ready to cook: dressed and eviscerated, with head and feet removed.
 Whole.
 Cut up, or parts.

State of refrigeration –chilled or frozen.

Kind/Class Description

INFORMATION SHEET 10.1-2

Poultry and Wild Game Bird Classifications

Learning objectives:

After reading this information sheet, you should be able to understand the
different classifications of poultry and game.

While chicken is a great tasting and easily found bird, there are other domestic
poultry and game birds to try, such as turkey, duck, partridge, squab, pigeon and geese.

There are many different kinds of poultry, each with different classes, flavor profiles, fat
content and best methods of preparation. Here are different classes of various domestic
and game birds that can be found to incorporate in healthy cooking menus, along with
notes such as descriptions, weight ranges or best ways to cook them.

Poultry and wild game bird cookery, along with the classes, is based on the age of the
bird. The younger the bird, the tenderer and the more cooking methods there are to
choose from. The older birds will have more pronounced flavors, darker meat, and in
wild game birds more of a pronounced 'game-bird' flavor. The older and more mature
birds may also require long, slow or moist-heat cooking methods. Wild game birds will
generally have less fat that commercially raised domestic poultry.

Turkey
Turkey meat is commonly sold as whole, breasts only,
wings, legs and ground which are easily used as a

replacement for ground beef in recipes. Each class is based on age and can refer to
either sex, unless labeled as 'tom' (male) or 'hen' (female).

Fryer/Roaster - Turkeys under 12 weeks of age. The flesh is tender and great for all
cooking methods.

Young turkey - Turkeys under 6 months old, and aso having very tender meat. Young
turkeys can be found as 'young tom' or 'young hen' referring to the sex of the bird.

 Yearling - Turkeys under 15 months of age. This mature turkey is still young enough
to have tender meat. Yearlings are found in a great weight range, from 10 to 30 lbs.
 Mature - Over 15 months, mature turkeys can be found in either sex and labeled 'old
hen turkey' or 'old tom turkey'. Great weight range, they can be found between 10 to
30 lbs

Ducks
The three classes are Broiler/Fryer (under 8
weeks), Roaster (under 4 months) and Mature(6 months and
over). Both the broiler/fryer and roaster share tender meat
characteristics, but are generally only oven roasted. All classes
can be found of either sex.

Geese
Geese can be separated into two classes: Young and Mature,
both of either sex. While the young goose has tender meat, it is
generally only roasted. A mature goose has tougher meat and is
best left for long, slow cooking methods.

Guineas
A guinea is also separated into two classes: Young and Mature,
both of either sex although the females are generally tenderer.
The young guinea has tender flesh and the old guinea has
toughened flesh. This bird has a mild wild-game flavor that is
more pronounced as it ages.

QST # ____
Pigeons
 Squab - Young pigeon under 4 weeks and usually under a
pound in weight. Its meat is lighter than older pigeon and
very tender since it hasn't flown yet. Great for all cooking
methods including grilling, roasting, pan frying and even
sautéed and served as appetizers.
 Pigeon - Older pigeons, over 4 weeks of
age. These are generally 1 to 2 lbs. The meat is darker and
tougher than squab.

Pheasant

Females generally have more tender meat than males, and are
smaller (3 lbs. for the female vs. 5 lbs. for the male). Cooking
methods depend on age: younger pheasant can be oven roasted
but older pheasant has tougher and leaner meat making it
suitable for moist heat methods.

Partridge

Partridges are smaller birds generally prepared and served


as 1 bird per person. Not common commercially, the
younger partridges will be more tender than the older birds.

Quail

Generally the smallest of all the game birds (under 8 ounces as


ready to cook). Quail is generally served whole and oven roasted

INFORMATION SHEET 10.2-1

Cooking Poultry and Game Bird

Learning objectives:

After reading this information sheet, you should be able to know the appropriate
technique on cooking of poultry and game.

COOKING POULTRY AND GAME BIRDS

The muscle tissue of domestic poultry and birds, as we have said, has basically
the same structure as the muscle tissue of meat animals.
Imaginative cooks realize that even when two meats are quite different –chicken
and beef, for example –interesting new dishes can be made with substitution that might
seem unusual. For ex., it is possible to make a delicious chili from chicken or turkey
meat, a preparation that has the added advantage of having a lower food cost than beef
chili.

Roasting and Baking

The general procedure for roasting and baking meats also apply to poultry.
However there are some differences in the ways poultry items are handled.

Season and Basting

COOKERY NC II Develop: Issued

KNVS-KIT and Game Dishes Sheba I Pallar Revision
QST # ____
1. Seasoning and, if desired, a little mirepoix or a bouquet garni should be placed
inside the cavity.
2. Oil the skin before roasting to help in browning and to protect against drying. The
skin may be basted with fat only during roasting, but this is unnecessary.
Basting is beneficial for large turkeys which must be subjected to dry
heat for several hours. If you baste large poultry during roasting, do it every
20 to 30 minutes. More frequent basting results in loss of a great deal of
heat from the oven because the door is opened so frequently.
3. Basting is unnecessary for duck and goose, which have a great deal of fat under
the skin. These birds are usually roasted breast up for the reason.

Baked Poultry

Roasting and baking re the same process. Cutting up the chicken doesn’t change
the cooking method. Baked chicken or turkey parts are treated liked roasted poultry.

Broiling and Grilling

Tender young poultry items may be cooked on grill or broiler using the same
procedure as fro steaks and chops.
Use lower temperatures than for meats. The outside can be burned easily before the
inside is cooked trough. Poultry skin. In particular, browns and then burns very easily.
Start poultry pieces skin side down. This helps keep flavorful juices from dripping
out. Brush generously with melted butter or other fat before during broiling.
Because the skin of broiled chicken is often eaten, it may be seasoned before
cooking.

 Large or thick poultry items are not well suited to broiling and grilling because it
takes so long for the heat to penetrate to the center and cook them trough.
 Grilled meat and poultry items are fairly simple, straight forward dishes, without
the variety ingredients and components you find in, for example, stews.

1. Marinate the poultry or rub it with seasoning before cooking.


Keep in mind that marinade ingredients such as sugar and tomato burn easily, so
use these with care. Also, herbs on the surface of the poultry burn easily.
2. Baste with seasoned butter, marinade, or other flavorings during broiling.
Again, be careful with ingredients that burn easily. Use them only toward and end
of cooking.
3. Served with an appropriate sauce or seasoned butter.
Flavored butters can be placed on top of the grilled poultry, but sauces should be
underneath or on the side so they don’t detract the crisp, browned skin
4. Select vegetable garnishes for variety and interest.
Well-chosen and carefully plated garnishes should be thought of as part of the
whole presentation, not just something served on side.

Sautéing, Pan-Frying and Deep-Frying

Date Document No.


COOKERY NC II Develop: Issued

KNVS-KIT and Game Dishes Sheba I Pallar Revision
QST # ____
Because chicken and turkey are lean, tender meats, cooking in fat is an
appropriate and popular way to prepare them.
Tender game birds and specialty poultry items maybe also be cooked by sautéing
or pan-frying. For most game birds, only the breast are usually cooked by these method.
For lean item, such as squab, partridge, and quail, the breast are best if not
cooked well done but kept somewhat pink inside, or even rare, to preserve moisture.
Dark red poultry, such as ostrich and emu steaks and breast of duck, are also
lean and most often served medium to medium rare.

Sautéing

1. Boneless chicken breast, thin slices of turkey breast, and other quick cooking
items are ideal for sautéing.
2. larger items, such as bone-in chicken cut into eights, are harder to cook to
doneness by sautéing because they need longer cooking times. Such items are
often browned by sautéing and then finished by another method.
3. In classical cuisine, there are preparations for chicken called sautés, many of
which are actually made by braising. The basic procedure for sautéing is used,
except that the chicken in only partially cooked by sautéing.

Pan-Frying
1. Pan-fried chicken is usually breaded or floured before cooking for even browning
and crispness.
2. About ¼ inch (1/2 cm) or more of fat is needed in the pan to pan-fry chicken.
3. The side that is to be faced up on the plate should be browned first for best
appearance. This is called presentation side.
4. After browning on all sides over moderately high heat, lower the heat so the
chicken will cook to doneness without overbrowning. Pan-fried chicken takes
about 30 to 45 minutes to cook.

Deep-Frying
1. The procedure for deep frying is like that for pan frying, except that the item
doesn’t have to be turned because it is submerged in the hot fat.
2. Pieces from small chickens are best for deep frying. Larger pieces require such a
long cooking time that surface may brown so much.
3. Fry chicken at 325° to 350°F (160° to 175°C) for even cooking.
Simmering and Poaching
Simmering and poaching are both methods of cooking in a liquid. The major
difference is the temperature. In simmering, the liquid is a little below the boiling point
and bubbling very gently.
In poaching, the temperature is even lower, and the liquid is not really bubbling.
Also, less liquid is usually used for poaching.

Simmering
1. The simmering method is used to cook fowl and other tough items, which require
long cooking in moist heat to be made tender. Cooking time is about 2 ½ hours.

QST # ____
2. The cooking liquid is usually water seasoned with salt and, most often with
mirepoix and herbs.
3. Simmered fowl yields a rich, flavorful broth. The meat can be used for soups,
creamed dishes, casseroles, salads, and similar preparations.
Start the fowl in cold water if a flavorful soup is your main objective. Start with bot water
to retain more flavors in the meat.

Poaching

1. The poaching method is used to gently cook tender poultry in order to retain
moisture and to develop a light, subtle flavor. Cooking time is usually short
because the product is natural tender.
2. The cooking liquid is usually stock, sometimes with the addition of wine and other
flavorings and seasonings. Cold liquid is added to the poultry product in the pan
to cover partway, and the pan must be covered to retain steam.
3. After cooking, the liquid may be used to make a sauce, such as supreme sauce, to
serve with the cooked product.
4. It is important to drain the poultry well after cooking, since any remaining liquid
may spoil the appearance of the sauce on the plate.
5. Poaching may be done on the rangetop or in the oven. Oven poaching provides
more even heat.

Braising
A moist-heat cooking method, braising may be used to tenderize tough poultry
products. Also, as for veal and pork, it can be used to provide moistness and flavor to
tender poultry items. Coq au vin, the well known braised chicken in red wine, was
originally made with a tough old roaster (coq).

Braise “sautés”
If you review the procedure for sautéing meats, you will see that is product is not
completely cooked when browned in step 5 and then finished by simmering it in the
sauce in step 10, the result is braised item.

Dressing and Stuffing

Stuffing chickens and turkeys is usually not practical in production kitchens.


Baking the stuffing separately gives better results, for these reason.
1. Safety.
Stuffing inside a bird is an ideal breeding ground for bacteria that cause food
poisoning
2. Quality.
Additional roasting time is needed to heat the stuffing trough. The result is often
overcooked poultry.
3. Efficiency.
Filling poultry with stuffing and removing it after roasting is impractical, time
consuming, and messy.

beef and lamb. Because chickens, turkeys, and other poultry are much smaller, they are
not cup in such detail.
However, poultry has its own cooking problems, so it is important to observe both the
similarities and the differences between meat and poultry.
