HOW TO: Basting

Fast, Foolproof Ways to Ensure Moist, Flavorful Results

Toolkit

  • Basting brush
  • Bulb baster
  • Large spoon
  • Oven mitt
Basting With Sauce

  • A brush is the best tool for basting while grilling or broiling parts.
  • Dip the brush in fresh sauce or marinade.
  • Baste after turning the chicken; repeat on the "up" side once or twice during cooking time.
  • Wash the brush in hot, soapy water.
Basting With Pan Juices

  • Using a bulb baster is the easiest way to baste a whole, roasted bird.
  • Wear an oven mitt and baste every 20-30 minutes, depending on your cooking time.
  • Clean by removing the rubber bulb, soaking both pieces in hot, soapy water.
  • Air dry before putting the bulb back on.

Try this with:

PERDUE® Fresh Chicken Thighs

Remember:

Ensure doneness with a meat thermometer.

Refrigerate any leftover chicken or turkey immediately and use within 3-5 days.
