The poultry subcategory on the menu generally includes chicken, duck, pheasant, and quail. Poultry is extremely versatile and can be prepared in a number of interesting ways: baked, barbecued, braised, fried, grilled, and roasted. Chicken, like meat, can be cross-utilized throughout the menu with little effort. Poultry has gained popularity in recent years as a healthy alternative to red meat, and chefs are serving poultry on their menus more than ever before.
