How far from the heat source should poultry be broiled?

Here's why:

* Too close: If the poultry is too close, it will burn on the outside before it cooks through. This can result in a dry, tough bird.

* Too far: If the poultry is too far away, it will take longer to cook and may not brown properly.

Here's a tip:

* Use a broiler pan with a rack to ensure the poultry is raised above the dripping juices, preventing the bird from steaming instead of browning.

Remember: Always check the internal temperature of your poultry to ensure it's cooked to a safe temperature. The USDA recommends an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for poultry.
