poussin
/ˈpuːsã
/noun
A chicken killed young for eating.Between poussin and Guinea hen, choose the latter if you love dark meat and because the gritty diavola sauce of wax beans and tomato enhances the bird's succulence....
- Most mums like chicken, so treat yours to some tender poussins, if only because they take around half an hour to cook and don't need carving.
- On the lunchtime menu, the grilled poussin (with a pile of spring vegetables and a slathering of mustard sauce) is cooked to crispy perfection.
