• 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.
