    Study Notes

    Principles of Poultry Cookery

    • Fat distribution and maturity of the fowl affect the quality of the product: mature birds require moist heat, while young birds are suitable for dry heat.

    Cooking Temperature and Methods

    • Best cooking temperature for poultry is at low to moderate heat, producing a more flavorful and tender product, minimizing nutrient loss and shrinkage of meat.
    • Stuffing of turkey and chickens should be done immediately before roasting, and not filling the cavity completely to ensure thorough cooking.
    • Breast-side down placement of chicken cuts when roasting produces a juicier and tenderer product.
    • Basting can improve the palatability of lean poultry meat.

    Food Safety and Storage

    • Cooked poultry should be eaten immediately or refrigerated if not consumed to prevent microbial growth.
    • Leftover stuffing should be stored separately to prevent contamination.
