tendency
to cook unevenly, especially
in very bony
parts.Turning
food over helps to cook these areas
evenly.

5 -10 minutes before carving.The

important, since it completes
the cooking process.

cooked when the juices
run dear from the inside thigh when it is pierced with
a sharp knife. Poultry pieces should be pierced with
a sharp knife through the thickest part to ensure that
the juices are clear and the flesh is firm,
