Description
Our capons are humanely raised in free-range conditions with full access to open fields, and allowed to grow at a natural rate, with no growth stimulants ever used. The specialized farms that raise our capons focus on the best animal welfare practices and geld the roosters with traditional surgical methods at a young age. Bigger than a hen, with a broad breast, the capon makes the perfect special occasion bird. It's quite common to find roasted capon at the Christmas table in both France and Italy.
*Servings based on 1.25 pounds per person.

Cooking & Serving
Cooking Methods: Roast, Poach, Barbecue, Smoke
Cooking Tips: Capons require longer cooking times than typical chickens because of their larger size. A 7-pound capon will yield 6 to 8 single servings. If you make stuffing, allow 1/2 cup per serving. Be careful not to over stuff the bird. Cook any excess stuffing in a separate baking dish. When roasting, put the bird into the oven legs first to position the dark meat towards the back, the hottest part of the oven. Rest a capon for 20-30 minutes before carving.
