The gamey flavors of wild birds often haunt the sophisticated platter and hence the chefs load the game meats with flavors, which interfere with the natural juices of the meat. An article claims that marinating wild fowls with fruit juices like apple juice, orange juice, and pineapple juice can remove the gamey flavors. Though culinary evidence does not support the usage of fruit juices with game meat, yet facts provide that marinating game meat with high acid liquids not only removes the gamey flavors, but also tenderizes the meat along with enhancing the fatty content and flavor of the meat.
It is not necessary that marinating game meat should be restricted to only fruit juices, but citrus herbs like lemon pepper, garlic powder, thyme, basil and certain spices like cinnamon and cardamom can be used to remove the gamey hint. However, care should be taken to enjoy the wild fowls medium-rare cooked with little but bolder flavors instrumental in removing only the gamey flavor of wild fowls.
