If you are cooking pieces in a pan on the stove, make sure the pan is hot, drop the piece(s) onto the pan, let it cook and sizzle, etc., and when it unsticks from the surface, flip it. Once it unsticks from the other side, it should be done perfectly.
This works with non-stick pans too. If you make sure the pan is hot before you toss the dead stuff in, the parts will stick to the pan, once it has been cooked through (halfway), the parts will unstick from the pan. Do this on both sides and the bird will cook up fine.
Do NOT try to move the pieces while they are cooking as you will mess up the process.
I am a vegetarian and when I follow this method when cooking dead stuff for hubby, it works EVERY time. I am a real hypochondriac about salmonella and stuff too so I cut into the pieces just to check and I have a 100% success rate with this method.
