- 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.

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.
