Poultry dishes can be defrosted in your microwave oven. Remove giblets and defrost fully before cooking. Use a microwaveable
dish and defrost only as long as necessary. Standing time will complete the thawing process.

Chicken is one of the most popular foods and microwaving chicken is one of the best uses of your microwave oven. Chicken
stays juicy and tender in the microwave oven. However, juiciness prevents browning because chicken crisps and browns only
when the skin dries out enough to change color. Standing time is important, because it allows the interior to finish cooking
without toughening the delicate breast meat.
