NOTE
• Cook pizza that is 10" or smaller in the left
oven. For larger pizzas, use the right oven.
• Cook whole chicken 60-75 minutes (until
it reaches desired doneness). The USDA
recommends cooking chicken to an internal
temperature of at least 165°F for safe
consumption.
• Brush tops of biscuits with an egg wash before
cooking to improve browning.
