MICROWAVE ROAST CHICKEN



Microwave Roast Chicken image

Combination cooked roast chicken in a microwave. This recipe is perfect for those without convection ovens.

Provided by Geraldine 2

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 whole roasting chicken
salt and black pepper
30 ml olive oil

Steps:

  • Take whole chicken and make diagonal slits in breast and thighs.
  • Rub chicken with olive oil followed by salt and pepper ensuring slits are also prepared with spice.
  • Place in a glass casserole dish suitable for microwave.
  • I use a 900 Watt combination microwave oven, program grill and microwave for 30 - 40 minutes depending on size of chicken on full power.
  • Turn chicken every 10 minutes to ensure even grilling.

Tips:

  • Ensure your microwave is large enough to accommodate a whole chicken. Measure the cavity of your microwave to ensure it can fit a whole chicken comfortably.
  • Thaw the chicken properly before cooking. If the chicken is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or in cold water for 30 minutes per pound.
  • Choose the proper microwave-safe dish. Use a microwave-safe dish that is large enough to hold the chicken comfortably and has a lid to prevent splattering.
  • Microwave the chicken on high power for the first few minutes, then reduce the power to medium for the remaining cooking time. This will help ensure the chicken cooks evenly.
  • Check the chicken's internal temperature using a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before carving and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.

Conclusion:

Microwaving a whole chicken is a quick and convenient way to cook a delicious and healthy meal. By following these tips, you can ensure your chicken cooks evenly and safely. Remember to thaw the chicken properly, choose the right microwave-safe dish, and cook the chicken on high power for the first few minutes, then reduce the power to medium for the remaining cooking time. Check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it has reached a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before enjoying your meal.
