Techniques

Roast poultry on rack level 2 or 3. For very large turkeys use rack level 1.

Use the 2-piece broil pan that comes with your oven. Place poultry directly on top of the grid for better browning. Place turkeys larger than 20 pounds on a rack in the lower part of the broil pan.

When roasting whole chickens or turkey, tuck wings behind and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.

Do not truss the legs of an unstuffed bird.

Shield ends of legs, wing tips, bony parts of the breast and any thinner parts with foil during the first half of the roasting to prevent over-cooking.

For juicer breast meat, start breast side down. Shield only the legs, wings and thin parts.

Check 30 minutes before the estimated minimum roasting time for doneness. Juices will run clear and the drumstick (on whole birds) will move freely when poultry is done.

Roasting bags are suitable to use in this mode.
