Poularde du Périgord

Poularde du Périgord is a variety of fattened young hen, with well-developed muscles marbled with intramuscular fat and intensely yellow skin, hiding a substantial subcutaneous fat cover. Poularde du Périgord are available fresh or frozen, as gutted birds (plucked, eviscerated fowl, with the head, feet, and giblets), ready-to-cook birds (plucked, eviscerated fowl, without the head and with or without the tarsus), and métifet birds (plucked, eviscerated fowl, with or without the tarsus and with the head folded under the wings).
