About Capon meat

Capon meat is the edible flesh of a capon, a castrated male chicken raised for meat. It is available as bone-in or boneless cuts, with or without skin; raw flesh is pale and cooking gives it a mild poultry flavour and tender texture.

Capon meat can be roasted, braised, grilled or cooked by other methods used for poultry. The particular cut and the inclusion of skin affect its texture and composition, so the term does not specify a single uniform meat sample.
