ABSTRACT:
A retainer for poultry hocks is formed as a ring of a thin unitary plastic material, such as nylon. The ring has hinged flaps extending inward from opposite sides thereof. Poultry hocks inserted through the ring cause the flaps to bend outward and then partially retract backward so that the edges of the flaps engage behind the hock knuckles, holding the thighs close to the body of the fowl. Preferably, either the ring or the flaps are cut away to increase the length of the hinge area. In a modification, legs extending away from the ring define an opening into which the tail of the poultry may be inserted.
