CHICKEN, FRANKFURTERS

To steam chicken pieces:

Select pieces of similar size and weight for even cooking.

Trim off fat; removal of skin is recommended.

Arrange in single layer; see Tips in Steaming Guide.

Steam until well done - when juices run clear. Check for doneness next to any bone and in thickest area.

To steam frankfurters:

Pierce whole franks with a fork (several times along the length) to reduce splitting while steaming.
