Best Western Capons are just
castrated roosters. A fattening
diet and early slaughter leaves
their flesh succulent and
well-suited to roasting. They range
in size from 8 to 11 pounds, making
them the perfect in-between bird
when a roaster chicken is too small
and a turkey too big. What to buy:
Capons can usually be found in the
freezer section of specialty
markets or online. This recipe was
featured as part of our Christmas
Day Feast, Italian Style menu.
