The term 'kind of chicken' can refer to three different types of chickens: a fryer, a capon, and a tandoori. A fryer is a young chicken that is usually between two and four months old and is suitable for frying or roasting. A capon is a castrated male chicken that is typically larger and more tender than other chickens. Lastly, a tandoori is a type of Indian dish in which chicken is marinated in yogurt and spices and then cooked in a tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven.
