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

splattering.

- Use a browning agent or cook with a sauce to give a

browned appearance.

• Tend 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.

• The 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.

The Poultry Cooking Table below provides detailed
directions, Power Level, and Cooking Time settings for
most cuts and types of poultry.
