Capon, anyone?

[klwilliams]

I decided I wanted to roast a chicken, but my local Safeway didn't have any. They had whole turkeys, Cornish game hens, and capons, so I bought a capon. I think it's a chicken. Or like a chicken. What would I need to do to roast a capon that's different from roasting a chicken? Anyone? madbaker?

"The capon is a cockerel made as it were female by carving away of his gendering stones."

Bartholomeus (1398) John de Trevisa's translation of De Proprietatibus Rerum

I like that phrase, "gendering stones".
