A fowl that is over a year old and weighs between three to six pounds, or even more, is commonly referred to as a stewing chicken.
The term “chicken” refers to a bird that is commonly consumed as food, specifically domestic roosters or hens. While this word can be used to describe birds of any age, it typically denotes an older and tougher fowl that is well-suited for boiling, steaming, or fricasseeing.
