Microwave Roast Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange chicken, thickest parts to outside edges in glass pie plate, 10x1 1/2 or 9x1 1/4 inches (sides of chicken will touch).
• Cover dish with plastic wrap, folding back one corner or edge 1/4 inch to vent steam. Microwave on Medium (50%) 14 to 16 minutes or until juice of chicken is no longer pink when center of thickest pieces are cut and temperature reaches 170°. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Cool slightly; cut into desired size of pieces.

Steps:

• In a large, round microwave safe casserole dish combine the ketchup, curry powder and cayenne powder and mix together. Add chicken pieces and turn to coat. Arrange chicken legs in a fan, with the thin part of the legs in the center of the dish. Cover and cook in the microwave on high for 12 to 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

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.

Steps:

• Rub fryer with salt, oyster sauce and oil.
• Place in casserole dish and cover with saran wrap.
• Microwave on high for 10 minutes.
• Turn chicken over and microwave another 13 minutes, or until done.
• Let stand in casserole covered, while making gravy.
• For gravy:.
• In a sauce pan, mix gravy ingredients, except cornstarch mixture.
• Bring to boil.
• Add cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened.
• Pour over cup-up chicken.

Steps:

• Cream together margarine, garlic, Parmesan, sage, thyme & basil.
• Turn chicken breast side up and gently work your fingers under the skin at the openings on each side of the breast.
• Continue into thighs and legs and make the skin as smooth as possible.
• Using fingers, spread herb mixture evenly under the skin.
• Place chicken, breast side up on broiling trivet.
• Bake 9 to 13 minutes PER POUND on High Mix setting or until chicken next to bone is no longer pink.

Steps:

• Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, remove most of the skin from the chicken. This is easier than it sounds, especially with scissors.
• Place chicken breast side up in a microwavable pan (Pyrex is great).
• Mix salt and spices and rub all over the outer surfaces of the chicken.
• Place onion inside cavity (be sure to remove the gizzard bag first!).
• Set microwave power on 70% (or medium high).
• Microwave for about 10 minutes per pound, so 35 minutes for a 3.5 lb bird, 50 minutes for a 5 lb-er, etc.
• Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting, then enjoy! Do make sure the breast meat closest to the bone is cooked; the legs will be done before the center.
