Basting poultry while it cooks helps to retain moisture, add flavour and give the poultry an attractive glazed appearance. All these bastes can be used when grilling (broiling), griddling or roasting any poultry. As with rubs, it is hard to specify how much you will need, so again, just give them a go.
