The capon of Cascajares

Capon is a tradicional Spanish Christmas dish that has decreased its consumption recently. It is a bird seemed a chicken, which is fed, spayed when it’s two months because it fattens, and finally, it’s the slaughter when it’s five or six months.
One of the reasons for its disappearance from tables is that it’s difficult to prepare and to cook
