The specification discloses a fowl singeing system including first and second housings disposed in the path of fowl transported by a shackle system. A blast of ambient air is directed upon the fowl during passage through the first housing. A plurality of gas nozzles are supported on opposite sides of the second housing and are connected to a source of flammable gas in order to direct jets of flame therefrom upon ignition. A plurality of gas nozzles are spaced apart along a line slanted to the horizontal, wherein jets of flame cover substantially the entire body of each fowl transported through the second housing. The ends of the gas jet nozzles are laterally spaced at varying distances from the second housing in general correspondence with the shape of the fowls being transported therepast.
