Finger lickin' good or rubbery?

shareAn old rooster would certainly be tough and chewy. That's why they should be braised in cooking, like in a nice coq au vin.
"Although the word coq in French means "rooster" or "cock", and tough birds with much connective tissue benefit from braising, coq au vin may be made with any poultry, most commonly chicken."
