Poultry Cooking to Avoid

Broiling is one of the most popular ways Americans cook poultry (and fish) because they think it is easy and healthy. Most people plop the chicken in a broiling pan, let it burn on one side, turn it over, burn it on the second side, and end up with a dinner that is charred on the outside and either raw or desiccated on the inside.

To broil chicken properly, one must carefully baste the chicken every few minutes to make sure it does not burn and dry out. Well, let’s face it, this careful tending is not what any of us looks forward to at the end of a workday, so we broil in a lazy way and end up with a bad-tasting dinner.
