POULTRY
Juicy and moist describes poultry cooked by microwave
energy. It is a superior method for cooking chicken to be used
in casseroles, salads, or to have for sandwiches. See Poached
Chicken recipe.
Arrangement is very important with poultry and its uneven
shapes. Try to arrange pieces in a circular pattern wherever
possible for the most even defrosting or cooking. The
rounded part of the drumstick should go at the outer edge, for
example, while the thinner end goes to the middle of the dish.
Continue with other pieces until the overall layer is fairly
even. Cover with wax paper to prevent spattering.
Poultry defrosts well with our AUTO DEFROST feature
(see page 15). Be sure that all poultry is completely defrosted
before cooking. Check for doneness after stand time is over.
Remember that more cooking will take place during standing
time. Poultry must be cooked to an internal temperature of
160°F for boneless pieces, to 170°F for bone-in pieces and to
185°F for whole birds.
Poultry is done when the meat is no longer pink and the
juices are the colour of chicken broth with no traces of pink.
Be sure to check for these signs by cutting into the inner
thigh. You may also check for the internal temperature with
an instant-read thermometer. Occasionally the bones will
show red spots, but this does not affect the doneness.
