HOW TO MICROWAVE A WHOLE CHICKEN



How to Microwave a Whole Chicken image

One Sunday I thawed a whole roaster chicken for dinner but got caught up in my afternoon activities and got home with only an hour to get the thing cooked. A quick google search proved that you can, indeed, quickly cook a whole chicken in the microwave. I have done this twice now, and in all honesty it yields more tender and juicy chicken than when I roast them in the oven LOL. Another added bonus is that the skin is removed (it gets gooey, I'm told) so the fat/cholesterol is significantly reduced. Give it a try--you may have found a new item for your "gotta get dinner done quickly" toolbox! Also, feel free to change up the spices based on your mood!!

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 1/2 lbs chicken
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon thyme (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon sage (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon rosemary (to taste)
1 onion, quartered

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.

Easiest Ever Generic Chicken (In the Microwave!) image

Do you have a recipe that calls for cooked chicken? I have roughly 23,000,000 of them and yet I never seem to have any cooked chicken sitting around. That's where this recipe comes in. It's very popular on allrecipes.com because it makes perfectly moist and delicious chicken every time, pretty much with no effort. It's even great made with one bouillon cube,no butter, and just a sprinkling of garlic salt--that's how I always make it, in an effort to make it even healthier.

  • Pierce the chicken breasts with a fork on one side, and place the pierced side down in the casserole dish. The chicken should be almost covered by the liquid, if not completely covered.
