Directions for Roasting Poultry
Season as desired, but salt only after cooking. Browning
sauce mixed with equal parts of butter will enhance
appearance.
Poultry may be stuffed or unstuffed. Tie legs together with
cotton string. Whole chicken should be placed breast-side
down on a microwave roasting rack set in an 8-to 10-inch
square dish or 2 V 2 -quart shallow oval casserole dish.
Cover with wax paper to prevent spattering.
During cooking it may be necessary to shield legs, wings and
breast bone to prevent overcooking. Wooden toothpicks can
be used to hold foil in place.
If a large amount of juice accumulates in the bottom of
the baking dish, occasionally drain it. If desired, reserve
for making gravy.
To Cook Whole Poultry:
Multiply the weight of the poultry by the minimum
recommended minutes per pound. Program Power and
Time.
To Cook Chicken Parts:
Arrange pieces skin-side up, with meatier portions toward
edge of dish. Cover with wax paper. Poultry is cooked
when juices are clear. If there is a slight pink color in the
juice, return poultry parts to the oven and cook one or two
minutes longer.
Let stand, covered, 5 minutes before serving.
TO COOK BY SENSOR COOKING;
Arrange pieces skin-side up, whole poultry breast-side up,
v«th meatier portions towards edge of dish. Cover
