●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
