Poultry Chicken (up to 4 lb) Chicken pieces (up to 2½ lb) Cornish Hens No special techniques are required: Poultry should be prepared as with conventional cooking. Season if desired. Poultry should be thoroughly defrosted. Remove giblets and any metal clamps. Prick the skin and brush lightly with vegetable oil (unless the poultry is selfĆbasting). All poultry should be placed in a microwaveĆsafe dish with lid and placed on the turntable. Cook according to the instructions in the poultry cooking recommendations below. Turn whole chicken or Cornish hen over halfway through the cooking time. Because of its shape, poultry has a tendency to cook unevenly, especially in very bony parts. Periodic turning helps to cook these areas evenly. Let stand for 5Ć10 minutes. The standing time is very important, as it completes the cooking process. Make sure poultry is thoroughly cooked before eating. Whole poultry is completely cooked when the juices run clear. Pierce with a sharp knife through the thickest part to ensure that the juices are clear and the flesh is firm. Note:ĄThe times listed above are only a guide. Allow for differences in individual tastes and preferences. The times may also vary due to the shape, cut, and composition of the food. If whole poultry is stuffed, the weight of the stuffed bird should be used when calculating the cooking time.
