Theory Notes

SITHCCC012 Produce poultry dishes 4520-V1 0517 7

PoultryPoultry can be classified as domestic birds or fowl grown for human


consumption.Domestic animals have had control breeding for selection of specific traits
done to them over manygenerations. Traits such as making them tame and easy to handle,
large ratio of meat to bone, fastgrowing and healthy breeding stock.Game birds are also
classified as poultry as most are now farmed for human consumption. Mostgame birds
would be classified as ‘speciality poultry’.

Types of poultryChickenDomesticated birds harvested at 4 to 12 weeks old depending on


the weight required. They areharvested for slaughter over many weeks to thin out the
population and lessen the stress inthe sheds.There are many breeds of Chicken such as
Australorp, Sussex, Araucana, Barnavelder, Australiangame, Silkies, Wyandotte and many
more.The standard chicken used for egglaying is ISA brown.Chickens may be classified in
many ways dependant on feed and environmental conditions such as;
Caged (battery) • When egg laying chooks are past 2 years and not producing daily they may
be sent off to be sold as a boiling fowl.Barn reared • Chooks reared under cover in large
rooms, free to roam with many others no restrictions on amount of chickens per space.Free
range • Open air access to land for a minimum of 2 hours a day after 21 days of life. The
space per bird or birds per hectare change depending on the company's requirements. This
means chickens may also be able to forage for food and have a better quality of life. No
antibiotics given.Organic • No foods that are treated with pesticides, chemicals, or artificial
man made drugs/antibiotics, their environment they live in also must be certified as organic.
No GM (genetically modified) food allowed. They take longer to grow and have a denser
richer meat with more flavour and less fat. After 10 days of life they must have outdoor
access to green vegetation. And there is a maximum density of chickens allowed per hectare
of green pasture.RSPCA approved • These chickens have a set welfare standards for living.

Grain-fed • Grain feed such as wheat are often considered higher in flavour as they have
more concentrated in the dried grains they eat, rather than grasses.Corn-fed • A diet high in
corn has given these chickens a yellowish colour to their skin and higher percentage of a
softer less brittle fat. This is thought to produce a moister more tender chicken.

Turkey (Dinde)Domesticated by the Aztec Americans and introduce to Europe. It has a mild
coarse grained flesh,with large muscle groups. Through special domestic breeding programs
they are now very fastgrowing large birds. Broad breasted white and bronze turkeys are the
main breeds.Due to the size that hybrid Turkeys can now be farmed, the yield increase is
growing larger inproportion to the size of the birds. They can grow to 6kg in 10 weeksTurkey
meat cuts are now readily available as: drumstick, chops (cross cut of drumstick),
mince,buffet breasts, tenderloins and breasts. Meat is often cooked and sold as cold cuts or
processed intosandwich meat, hams, sausages.Legs are full of pin tendons and require
removal, they take longer and higher temperatures to cook sooften are cooked separately
as slow cooked or wet dishes. Brining the turkey breast helps addmoistureCooking turkey is
usually done in 2 separate parts. The breast or buffet breast is often sealed andslow roasted
or suos vide cooked till moist and tender. For a large turkey the legs are usually
cookedseparate in a braise or stew. Leg meat is often cut up and cooked as mince or dice as
it has a fullerflavour with more connective tissue.

Duck (Canard)Ducks have been bred for food all over the world with the different species in
cultures such as Egypt,Roman, Chinese and then Central America.Duck is rich in iron, high in
protein and vitamin B complex, and a source of Omega-6. Duck isconsidered red meat due
to the high myoglobin content in the blood absorbing more oxygen whenworking the
muscles for flight.The species of duck greatly affects the quality of eating and style of
cooking.The main breeds for meat production are;Muscovy is noted for its thick lean breast
and dark meat and is fed on grains and grassesAylesbury is a variety of Pekin that has a
delicate flavour and whiter fleshPekin has firmer flesh and robust species with a higher fat
contentRouen are slow to mature and have dark flesh, similar to a MallardThere are many
other breeds but most have been interbred to ensure fast healthy growth rates.When
cooking Duck there are 2 main ways of cooking.1. The carcass is either separated into legs
and breast.The legs are cooked either as a slow wet dish braised, stewed or confit style
which is cooking thepre-salted leg meat under duck fat at a low temperature for a long time.
Once confit, they are oftenstored under fat to keep for extended periods of time.The
breasts are pan fried, roasted or grilled a quick cooking method med-rare to well done
usingresting to help achieve a tender product. The skin is often cooked directly on a heat
source to renderout the excess fat to provide a crispy skin. Magret is a French cooking term
and is half duck breastcooked like a steak.

SITHCCC012 Produce poultry dishes 4520-V1 0517 9

2. The whole duck is cooked often slow cooked or twice cooked.The whole bird may be
cooked in master stock, steamed, braised or slow roasted. This is usuallydone at a lower
temperature such as 100°C to ensure the bird is cooked through without too muchshrinkage
or drying out. Once the bird is cooked it is dried, seasoned and either deep fried or
roastedat a high heat to render the fat and make the skin crispy.

Poultry Sizes and growthHens, domesticated fowl or chooks are all names for Chickens.
Pullets are young non-egg layingfemales. Hens usually describe females and roosters
describe males.Weights are set at every 100g of bird is a size usually going up in 200g
increments. i.e. 1.2kg bird is asize 12. 1.6kg bird is a size 16.Purchasing of game birds
however, does vary. Game birds or feathered game is purchased inindividual units or by the
kilo because of the birds’ random weight.

Name French term Size Weight Age

Spring chicken Poissin 4-5 400 – 500g Young bird 4-6 weeks

Small chicken Poulet de grain 6 –10 600g – 1kg 9 - 12 weeks old

Chicken (roasting) Poulet 10 - 20 1 – 2kg 12 - 40 weeks old

Castrated cockerel Capon 27 - 45 2.7 - 4.5kg

Boiler Poule 20 - 35 2 – 3.5kg Older birds over 40 weeks

Turkey Dinde 35 - 140 3.5 to 14kg 14 - 20 weeks

Duck Canard 16 - 28 1.6 to 2.8kg 6 - 16 weeks

No Hormones are NOT allowed to be given to chickens in Australia by law.Antibiotics are


sometimes added to help prevent diseases and promote bird muscle growth.
Probiotics,essential oils, organic acids, some medicinal plants can be used as an alternative
to those antibiotics.Due to improved breeding, chickens have made massive growth rate
increases. This is partially due toimproved feed requirements, better health and animal
husbandry practices as well as animal welfare.

Speciality poultry and game birdsSpecialty poultry are birds that might be for special
occasions or seasonal celebrations.Not normally available from the average poultry outlets
and might need to be sourced from specialistgrowers or suppliers.In the past game birds
used to be wild birds hunted and killed for eating purposes. In modern timesmost game
birds have been domesticated and bred for the market, but mainly used in restaurants.True
game birds are not allowed to be served and sold in food outlets as they do not meet
healthregulation and legal requirements.

4520-V1 0517 SITHCCC012 Prepare poultry dishes 10

Types of speciality poultry and game birdsMost game birds are sold with their heads intact
to show species. But are otherwise plucked anddrawn, sometimes feet and offal are not sold
with the bird.Most game birds gain the flavour of the food source that represents the
majority of its diet. Forexample wild birds that eat a lot of bugs near pine forests can have a
pine taste.All these birds produce eggs that are richer and more flavoursome than duck eggs
as they produceless per year, but vary in size according to the size of the bird.Indigenous
game only available for sale from sustainable wild harvestMutton bird Otherwise known as
Short tailed shearwaters, Harvested in Tasmania as part of the indigenous cultureWild duck
Many varieties of duck available only to shooters such as Teals, Hardhead, Mountain, Pacific
Black, Pink-eared and Wood Ducks.Indigenous game farmed for saleEmu Very large land
based bird with rich dark meat high in iron compared to beef, very lean in fat with a full
flavour. Many meat cuts that range from tough to very tender most muscle groups are in
the 500g to 2kg rangeIntroduced game farmed for saleGuinea fowl Native to sub Saharan
Africa and India, this bird is very similar eating to free range chicken. Available from 800g to
1.2kg frozen as only produced in the 10’s of thousands in Australia.Pheasant Native to China
and introduced to Europe, this is a flavour cross between chicken and with duck but drier
and delicate, often require barding or a moist cooking method. They range round 1 to 1.5kg
mark for and adult at around 16-18 weeks.Partridge Native to Europe, Asia and the Middle
east. Smaller firm fleshed version of a pheasant with a moister texture and plumper breasts.
Protected animal but is still farmed for sale. Killed at around 20-22 weeksSquab/ Pidgeon
Young squab are firm, fine grained, moist meat, older birds can be stringy and dry. They are
killed at 1 month old and full sized before they start to fly. Often cooking the dark meat to
med to well done. Weighing dressed at 350 – 675g in weight.Goose/ Geese Larger birds that
have a light coloured meat with coarse texture. Force feeding of geese to produce Foie gras
(enlarged livers) is banned in Australia. Fairly lean depending on the age and species. Killed
at around 3 months and weighing dressed at 2.5 to 5.5kg in weight. Hard to obtain in
Australia as there is a limited supply.Quail Native to China and introduced to Europe. Small
firm fleshed lean meat with a light game taste similar to farmed ducks. Fast cooking
methods and marinades are popular. They grow quickly and get to 150-250g dressed for
sale. Stubble quail are still wild hunted in Victoria

PurchasingPoultry can be purchased fresh, frozen or any multitude of processed ways.When


buying your chicken FRESH. Quality points to look for are:• Skin colour – Bluish pink (may
vary for some game varieties)• No bad odour – clean fresh smelling• Firm plump meat –
pliable, bounce back when pressed• Feel moist - not slimy or sticky or dry patches• No
bruising, blemishes or marks• No feathers• No broken limbs• Breast bone cartilage tip
should still be flexible• The fat on the carcass should be white in colour (unless corn fed)•
No evidence of thawing, freezer burn or ice

How is poultry available for purchaseTerms used to describe some cuts can be
misleading.Try to use the correct term when describing specific cuts.Examples:Breast is
actually the fillet.Maryland in Australia it is a cut of whole chicken leg. In other countries it is
the name of a dish that isbased off an US state Maryland fried chicken recipe, different
variations exist in many countriesSuprême is the fillet with first wing bone attached or “best
cut”Kiev cut is the same as the supreme, skin may be removed and wing bone
FrenchedBallotine is boned and stuffed chicken legGalantine is whole chicken, boned and
stuffedSpatchcock is a young spring chicken cut down the back pressed flat in preparation to
cook whole.

Cleaning, trimming and preparingpoultry and game birdsToday poultry can be bought in
many different ways. It is readily available pre-portioned, cut intospecific cuts, marinated,
on skewers and so on.However it is necessary for cooks to know how to clean and trim
poultry correctly. Poultry is portionedinto different cuts depending on the requirements of
the cooking method and the menu item.Due to the Australian slaughtering processes
poultry does not need to be washed before cooking. Ifnecessary just wipe off with a damp
cloth.

SITHCCC012 Produce poultry dishes 4520-V1 0517 13

Poultry are now purchased fully cleaned, gutted and drawn. Plucking may have to be done
to removeexcess feathers.Cleaning and preparing game birds is carried out in much the
same way as for poultry.

TrimmingTrimming is done by looking over the poultry cut and feeling it. See if you can
notice any of thefollowing things and remove them• Bone fragments• Cartilage pieces•
Blood clots• Vein clusters• Sinew• TendonsSinews must be removed from poultry such as
turkey, goose, older duck/chicken and most gamebirds. In the case of large birds such as
turkey sinew can be in the form of pin tendons like thin bones.And small birds will have
silverskin surrounding muscle groups that will not cook out and mustbe removed.

DeboningBoning knives are used to work around the bones freeing bones from sinew that
holds the musclegroups to the bone. In all poultry the same bone structure and muscle
groups exist they just may be ofdifferent sizes and shapes. Boning knives need to be kept
razor sharp to cut tough sinew withoutforce to prevent injury. They are often ridged but are
thin to allow easy access around bones.Poultry shears are also used, these are large kitchen
scissors with high tensile stainless steel, foreasy cleaning they often come apart. Scissors are
easier to handle if the poultry is hot and fatty andless likely to lose control. They cut through
bones easily and can be used to portion a chicken intosauté cuts or quarters in
seconds.Birds can be flat boned, which means to cut open and pressed flat for easy acess to
remove bones.or Tunnel boned where the cook uses a boning knife to work along each
bone to remove themkeeping the bird and skin intact for easy stuffing and trussing.

MincingMincing is the process by which poultry is trimmed of all sinew cartliage and bone,
then cut intomanageable pieces and freed of any bone. The meat is then passed through a
mincing machine or amincing attachment fitted to a commercial mixing machine. Course or
fine holed disks can be fitted tothe mincer.Warning: When fitting mincer attachments to
mixing machines, make sure you have followed themanufacturer’s procedures
correctly.Before switching on: Check that the securing nut is firmly in place. If unsure about
how to operatethe mixing machine correctly, refer to the manufacturer’s ‘Safe Operating
Procedures’. Ask for trainingbefore use

4520-V1 0517 SITHCCC012 Prepare poultry dishes 14

TrussingA technique used to keep the poultry shape, for easy portioning, even cooking and
hold in stuffing andfarces. There are three main techniques;1. Use string, netting or wire to
tie up the bird without cutting the presentation skin area2. Use skewers to pin flesh
together3. Cutting skin to push leg bones though to hold shape as it cooks and the skin
shrinks.

MarinatingDone to improve flavour, extend shelf life, add colour, tenderise texture, change
taste or improve it.Different marinades are used for different poultry.Light fleshed poultry
such as chicken quail and turkey lend themselves to citrus, fresh floral spicesand herbs with
oils and vinegars, even light white wines.Darker fleshed poultry need richer flavours like
dried earthy spices such as ground turmeric andJuniper berries, red wine and beers, acids in
darker vinegars and sugars. Sauces such as Tabascoand Worcestershire.

StuffingIs used to bulk out the product, add flavour or increase it, absorb moisture and help
in even cookingof the bird. Often using force meats (other minced meats), bread, citrus,
herbs, offal, fruit and nuts.Usually rolled in the centre of a boned bird or pushed into the
chest cavity of a whole bird tobe roasted.

White meat vs Dark meatAny bird that has to work muscles hard for flight or ground
movement may have a darker colouredmeat. This can be due to the breed, age of the
animal, if it is breeding and full of hormones, the sexand mainly due to how much blood is
present in the muscle and how high the myoglobin content is.Myoglobin is a reddish-brown
protein responsible for storing oxygen in the muscles.Leg muscles tend to have a higher fat
and myglobin content than breasts, in most birds it isconsidered dark meat. This means it
has a stronger flavour and requires a longer or wet cookerymethod to ensure it is
tender.White meat in intensive farmed poultry is not used as much. These muscles use
stored glycogen as aform of energy. Glycogen does not need fat or oxygen so little
myoglobin is present, thus the meat isoften pale in colour.

HISTORICAL and cultural origins of different poultry dishesOur present day chickens date
back to the wild red and grey jungle fowl Gallus Gallus found in theIndian sub continent.In
1996 Europe chicken consumption overtook beef and veal, due to links to mad cow
disease.It is the second most eaten meat in the world, deferring to pork.This is a small range

Storing poultryFresh poultryPieces or cuts should be stored wrapped or packed in clean


plastic a clean plastic bag then placed ona clean tray. These should then be place in a
refrigerator at 1-3°C, where they can be kept forapproximately 3 to 4 days. They should be
on a low shelf so they are coldest and cannot drip onproducts below.Freshly killed whole
poultry is best stored on flat trays with damp clean cloth placed on top for aircirculation and
to prevent drying out for up to 7 days. Or poultry can be stored in a cool room with85%
humidity.Game birds should be kept for a less than 3 days unless hanging for
aging/tenderising.All stored poultry should be labelled and dated for easy identification
away from other raw productssuch as meat and fish and also cooked produce to prevent
cross contamination.Salmonella and E. coli are a hazard with handling poultry, cross
contamination between raw andcooked poultry is to be avoided at all times. E coli will die
above 68°C so it is recommended to cookall poultry above 75°C to ensure no bacteria is
alive after cooking.
SITHCCC012 Produce poultry dishes 4520-V1 0517 17

Freezing poultry and game birdsWhen freezing poultry and game birds, ensure that each
piece is individually and well wrapped orvacuum packed.Store in freezer until required at a
temperature of (-18°C and -24°C) for no longer than threemonths.Never freeze poultry in
bulk. Spread out to freeze in single layers and when frozen, store in freezerboxes or crates
with correct labelling and use by dates.• All game birds can be stored the same as poultry.•
Once any food item is thawed for use, it should NOT be re-frozen.

Terminology associated with poultry and game birds Name Explanation

Drawing Removal of intestines

Brace A pair (male and female)

Singeing Burning off excess feathers/hairs

Trussing To tie up, so as to hold birds together

Giblets Insides (offal) – heart, liver, kidney, neck and lites

Larding To insert strips of fat, normally speck, into the meat with a larding needle

Barding To cover the whole bird or piece of meat with thin slices of fat. This is done to help
keep the lean meat moist and to minimise drying during cooking.

Rolling Is a technique used to truss a piece of meat in a cylinder to hold it for even cooking
and portioning

Basting Coating the bird in fat to help crisp and colour the skin and seal in juices when
roasting

Chicken Galantine 1 Chicken, No.12

To Bone the Chicken• First: Check around the neck & in the cavity to remove any unwanted
pieces of fat, oesophagus, etc• Trim the bird: It is necessary to remove the feet and the wing
tips at the elbow, to facilitate further boning• Cut through the skin along the backbone:
Turn the chicken over onto the breast. Working from the neck to the tail, cut the skin along
both sides of the back bone• Loosen the wings at the shoulder: Locate the joint with your
fingers and cut through with a small knife on both sides.• Loosen the legs at the thigh joint:
Pop the thigh bone out of the pelvic socket on both sides• Loosen the carcass: With a sharp
knife, cut along and around the rib cage to remove the meat• Remove the breast bone:
Special care is needed here for the breastbone joins directly onto the skin. The skin must not
be damaged during this stage so hold the breast bone up, well away from the skin while you
cut.• Cut around the wing bone: From the inside, cut through the ligaments around the
knuckle of the bone. Scrape the meat off the bone & pull the bone through holding the meat
firmly in place.• Cut around the thigh bone and drumstick bone: Deal with the leg bones in
the same way as the wings.• Even out the meat: Move the meat around to ensure there is
full coverage over the skin. Refrigerate.

The Farce 100 gm Trimmed chicken meat 100 gm Lean pork 150 gm Pork fat Pinch Pate salt,
white pepper 1 tsp Rosemary, chopped 1 tsp Sage, chopped 20 gm Pistachio nuts, blanched
& skinnedEnsure the meat stays well chilled during this process. Cut all the meat and fat into
strips andcombine with remaining ingredients, except the nuts.Mince the meat through the
medium mincing blade and then the fine mincing blade and chill. Push theforcemeat
through a sieve, combine with the nuts and refrigerate. Check for seasoning and adjust
ifnecessary.

To AssemblePosition the meat as a rectangle over a sheet of glad wrap, leg end closest to
you.Sprinkle with Pate salt.• Stuff the chicken: Make a cylinder shape with the farce and
place across the meat• Seal the chicken: Fold the leg end up and over the farce, firm gently
and continue to roll up. Ensure all farce is contained & shape to an even, thick roll.• Wrap
the galantine and truss: Wrap firmly in the glad wrap but not too tightly. Seal both ends with
a knot and truss the roll at 2 cm intervals. Weigh the roll.• Poach the galantine: Prepare
chicken stock and bring to 80°C. Place the roll into the hot stock ensuring it is fully
submerged. Check the temperature often with a thermometer to maintain 80°C. Cook for 40
minutes per kilo and leave to cool in the stock.

To FinishThe Galantines will be cooled and stored and then frozen by the instructor for later
use in buffetclasses in Angliss Institute restaurants.If you were to be in the position to finish
your galantine, this is how you would be doing it.When cool lift from the stock, and carefully
remove all the wrapping.Rinse under warm water, wipe dry and cover with a light aspic or
