How To Microwave A Whole Chicken Recipes

LOGA'S MICROWAVE CHICKEN

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.

HOW TO MICROWAVE A WHOLE CHICKEN

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.

MICROWAVE ROAST CHICKEN

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.
