  2. Preheat, start skin-side up, and turn after 20 minutes.
  3. Check the thickest part; keep cooking until the official safe temperature is reached, then rest 10 minutes.

Before you cook

  • The reference suggests Roast if the appliance provides that setting. Size, shape, and mode can change the finish; use the thermometer, not a per-pound multiplier.
