Crown

Partridge crown is the bird without legs—breasts left on the carcass as a formal white-meat roast that carves into tidy slices. Small lean game bird, delicately gamey and milder than pheasant when young. Butter under the skin, roast carefully, rest well. Cook legs by a longer separate method. Ideal when guests want lean meat without dark joints.
