Poultry Dishes

The chicken was domesticated from the red junglefowl in Southeast Asia — recent dating puts it around 1650–1250 BCE, later than long assumed — and spread west along trade routes as much for cockfighting and ritual as for meat. Ducks in China and geese in Egypt were tamed independently. Birds were small enough to cook whole and cheap enough to keep, which made poultry the everyday meat almost everywhere.
