That seems like it would overcook the foie gras

Capon is a Spanish slang term for someone who has had their penis and testicles removed

My dad has a funny story. When he was a little kid, my great-grandparents raised chickens. One day one of the roosters just flew up and started flogging him. Just went to town on him. My great-grandfather got it off him and that night for supper, they had chicken and dumplings.

So, to my knowledge, I’ve never had capon. Does it taste noticeably different from just “regular chicken”?
