CONVECTION OVEN ROAST CHICKEN (FOR TOASTER OVEN)
I replaced my regular toaster oven with a convection toaster oven a few years ago and I have to say it was the best thing I could have done. I have used this toaster oven extensively as it does help keep the kitchen cooler then using the big oven. I didn't have any lemons so used limes instead. I used a 5 pound chicken but a 3 1/2-4 pound chicken can also work here.

Steps:
- Place the toaster oven rack to the lowest position in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F on the convection setting.
- Remove giblets and neck from cavity of chicken, reserve for another use or discard. Rinse chicken with cold water and pat dry.
- Place a baking rack into the broiling pan (that is lined with foil) add 1/4 cup water to the pan and lightly spray the baking rack with cooking spray.
- Tuck the wings under and place the chicken on the baking rack pan. Clean work surface and hands with soap and hot water before continuing.
- Combine the salt and pepper. Rub half the mixture in the cavity of the chicken; then place the herb sprig(s), garlic halves, onion quarters and lemon zest in the cavity of the chicken.
- Loosely tie the legs together. Rub the chicken with the olive oil and remaining salt and pepper. Drizzle with the lemon juice.
- Place the chicken in the oven and roast at 400°F for 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 375°F and continue to roast for an additional 12 minutes per pound longer.
- Considering my chicken was 5 lbs. I will roast it for 60 minutes. You will have to calculate the time according to your chicken's weight by multiplying 12 minutes times the size per pound of your chicken.
- The Internal temperature of the chicken should be 170°F when tested in the breast, and 180°F when tested in the dark meat.
- Juices should run clear.
- Turn off oven and remove the chicken to a platter. Let stand 10 - 15 minutes before carving (may cover loosely with foil if desired, but skin will lose its crispness).
- Bon Appetit!

- Honestly the above ingredient list is all approximate guesses. I just dumped stuff into the ziplock bag until it looked like seasoned flour.
- Take all ingredients above (except for chicken thighs) and dump into a gallon size resealable bag.
- close bag, shake to mix well.
- preheat your convection oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Rinse and pat dry your chicken pieces.
- Then take chicken pieces (I did three at a time) and drop into your bag of homemade 'shake 'n bake and shake to coat evenly.
- lightly oil your broiling pan and then place chicken pieces with space around each one. I personally cooked 6 and then the remaining 4- because that's how much space I had in my broiling pan.
- place in convection oven set on BAKE (with convection on) at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 60 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For optimal results, select a whole chicken weighing between 3 and 4 pounds. Ensure that the chicken is well-trimmed and patted dry before roasting.
- Prepare the chicken: Generously season the chicken inside and out with a mixture of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also add a compound butter or olive oil rub for extra flavor.
- Preheat the toaster oven: Set the toaster oven to the highest convection setting and preheat it according to the manufacturer's instructions. This will help create a crispy skin and juicy interior.
- Roast the chicken: Place the chicken breast-side up on a roasting rack or baking sheet. For even cooking, rotate the chicken halfway through the roasting time.
- Check the internal temperature: To ensure that the chicken is cooked safely and thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken is ready when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast and thigh.
- Rest the chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the toaster oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
