Poussin is a small, immature chicken that is often called a spring chicken. It weighs about 400 to 500g, and is four to six weeks old. One bird is perfect for a single serving, and there is not much flesh on the bones. The meat is extremely soft and flavourful.

Poussin, a common favourite by many, is often stuffed with different seasonings to add flavours. The recipe below lets you prepare it in a simple yet most delicious way possible. Infused with rosemary, wine, and garlic stock, you can fully enjoy this fresh and crisp spring chicken.
