Poultry
Microwave-cooked chicken is juicy and succulent. Whole poultry becomes golden but not crisp. For the
crispier, conventional crust, cook the poultry in your conventional oven at 450°F for 10 to 15 minutes. The
same technique is also convenient when barbecuing. Defrost and precook in your microwave oven, then
flash-cook on the grill for that barbecued flavor.
Cooking poultry: tips & techniques
l
Defrost poultry completely before cooking.
l
Arrange poultry so that thicker pieces face the outside of the baking dish. If cooking legs, arrange them
like spokes of wheels.
. Cover the baking dish with wax paper to minimize spattering.
l
Turn over both whole poultry and poultry pieces to ensure even cooking.
l
Drain and discard juices as they accumulate.
l
Shield thin or bony pieces with small strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Keep foil at least
one inch from oven walls and other pieces of foil.
9 Use a browning agent or cook with a sauce to give browned appearance.
. Cook poultry until no longer pink and juices run clear. Temperatures in thigh meat should be 18O”F-
185°F when done. Let stand covered with foil 10 minutes.
