Braising can add which attribute to poultry products?

• A. Crispness
• B. Tenderness
• C. Saltiness
• D. Color

Answer: (B)

Braising uses moist heat and a cooking liquid to cook poultry slowly, letting collagen in the meat break down into gelatin and the muscle fibers soften. That breakdown and steady moisture yield a noticeably tender, juicy texture, even in tougher parts of the bird. While browning at the start and the sauce can add color and depth of flavor, the main result you get from this method is tenderness. Crisp skin, on the other hand, comes from dry-heat methods that create a crust, and saltiness or color changes are more about seasoning and initial browning rather than the braising process itself.
