Knowing Your Chicken Before Cooking

In our household, we prefer to eat chicken over beef.  Chicken is soft, easily chewable and digestible, and very versatile, and why not, delicious.  Contrary to what one might think when seeing the color, chicken contains a quantity of iron almost equal to that of red meat.  There are million ways to prepare chicken, all with great success – Boiled or roasted, fried or braised, whole or in pieces, warm or cold, boned or stuffed.  Whichever way the chicken is prepared, it always turns out great; the importance is knowing the age of the chicken in order to avoid roasting an old fowl and boiling a young chicken.
