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.
