A. Preparation
The teacher will group the class into 5 and let them answer a crossword puzzle consisting of the
different methods in cooking poultry and game dishes.
B. Presentation
a cooking method that uses dry heat where hot air envelops the food, cooking it evenly on all
sides.
Low temperature (250*-325*) is best for large birds like turkeys (unless they’re stuffed)
High temperature (450*) works well for very small chickens or items like game birds which
are served rare
To create a brown skin on chickens 4-5 lbs. or less, you can either sear it in a pan on the stove
(and then transfer the chicken to the oven) or raise the oven temperature to 450* for the first
fifteen minutes and then lower the temperature to 325*-350* for the remainder of the cooking
time
2. Broiling (ex.
- uses the same idea as grilling, but the heat source is on top of food instead of underneath it.
3. Grilling (ex. Spicy Lemon Chicken Kabobs, Grilled Basil Chicken and Tomatoes)
is the application of direct heat from underneath the food you are cooking.
As the outside can burn before the inside is safely cooked through, the best strategy is to
mark the poultry on the grill at lower temperatures than used for meat and then finish cooking
your bird through in the oven
browns the foods surface as it cooks and develops complex flavors and aromas.
As boned and dark meat requires longer cooking, Sauteing is best for boneless breasts
5. Pan-frying (ex. Pan Fried Italian Chicken Thighs)
Pan-frying uses ¼ inch of fat or more – brown on moderate high heat, then lower temperature
and cook for 30-45 min
6. Deep frying
Deep-frying is best for pieces from small chickens – use 325* – 350* oil
7. Simmering
- Cooking liquid is bubbling gently. To tenderize tougher meats poultry and some shellfish by
long, slow cooking.
8. Poaching
-Cooking liquid is not bubbling but is barely moving. To cook seafood and some tender cuts of
poultry and meat. To retain moisture and develop a light, subtle flavor.
9. STEAMING
- to cook foods by putting them in direct contact with steam. This cooking method is best suited
to foods that are naturally tender.
10. Braising
lightly browning in fat and then cooking slowly in a closed pan with a small amount of liquid.
Good for tenderizing tough meat and moisturizing tender meat – use the Braising
Technique but note that your braising time for chicken will only be about 30-40 minutes
Boiled Fowl
Dress, clean, and truss a four-pound fowl, tie in cheese-cloth, place on trivet in a kettle, half
surround with boiling water, cover, and cook slowly until tender, turning occasionally. Add salt
the last hour of cooking. Serve with Egg, Oyster, or Celery Sauce. It is not desirable to stuff a
boiled fowl.
Roast Goose with Potato Stuffing
Singe, remove pinfeathers, wash and scrub a goose in hot soapsuds; then draw (which is
removing inside contents). Wash in cold water and wipe. Stuff, truss, sprinkle with salt and
pepper, and lay six thin strips fat salt pork over breast. Place on rack in dripping-pan, put in hot
oven, and bake two hours. Baste every fifteen minutes with fat in pan. Remove pork last half-
hour of cooking. Place on platter, cut string, and remove string and skewers. Garnish with
watercress and bright red cranberries. Serve with Apple Sauce.
Ingredients
1. Combine flour, chili powder, salt, and paprika in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
2. Put the chicken in the mixing bowl and coat with the flour mixture.
3. Heat a cooking pot and pour-in cooking oil.
4. Deep fry the chicken wings until golden brown. Set aside.
5. Melt the butter in a sauce pan.
6. Put-in hot sauce, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir.
7. Pour-in the butter mixture over the fried chicken wings. Mix to distribute the sauce evenly.
8. Transfer on a serving plate.
Do you think it is important to execute appropriately the methods of cooking poultry and
game dishes?
C. Performance
In their laboratory groupings the teacher will let the groups cook spicy chicken buffalo
wings. They will be graded by the following criteria. (See attachment)
IV. Evaluation
Enumerate all the methods in cooking poultry and game dishes. Give a brief
description in each method.
