What each ingredient does
- Capon
- Is the main protein, cooked whole so its meat becomes tender and fully cooked through roasting.
The step that matters
Roast the capon until fully cooked. Poultry must reach a safe internal temperature throughout, and the thickest parts, such as the thighs and breast, cook more slowly than the rest. Checking the deepest part of the meat helps avoid both undercooked and overdried meat.
