Cooking Poultry: General Directions

Prepare the poultry for cooking. - Defrost completely.

- Arrange poultry pieces with thicker pieces at the outside edge of the baking dish. When cooking legs, arrange them like the spokes of a wheel.

- Cover the baking dish with waxed paper to reduce spattering.

- Use a browning agent or cook with a sauce to give a browned appearance.

Watch the poultry as it cooks.

-Drain and discard juices as they accumulate.

-Shield thin or bony pieces with small strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Keep foil at least 1 inch from the oven walls and other pieces of

foil.

Poultry is done when it is no longer pink and the juices run clear. When done, the temperature in the thigh meat should be 180-185°F.

Let the poultry stand after cooking covered with foil

for 10 minutes.
