CAPON Meaning and Definition

1. A capon is a term that refers to a specially bred male chicken, usually between the ages of six and eight months, that has been castrated before sexual maturity. This process of castration ensures that the capon doesn't develop secondary sexual characteristics such as spurs or offensive odors which can affect the flavor of its meat. Capons are primarily raised for their tender and flavorful meat rather than egg-laying purposes.

   In terms of appearance, capons tend to be larger than typical roosters, weighing an average of 10 to 12 pounds. They have broad breasts and plump bodies, with a distinct white, tender, and succulent flesh that is highly prized by gourmet chefs for its tenderness and enhanced flavor. Due to their castrated state, capons have leaner meat compared to regular roosters or hens.

   Capon meat is often used in traditional holiday feasts or special occasions, as it is believed to be more succulent, juicy, and flavorful than other types of poultry. It is commonly roasted, braised, or used in various culinary dishes, and its rich, delicately flavored meat is highly regarded in many cuisines around the world.

   Overall, a capon can be defined as a castrated male chicken grown for its exquisite, tender, and flavorful meat.

2. A cock-chicken fed for the table; a castrated cock.
