How can I roast a chicken in the microwave,?

Question

very raw and not roasted. Tell me the procedures to roast it and the time to be put in microwave.

Answer 1

You cannot roast in the microwave. The outside will be burnt and the inside will be raw. You have to roast in the oven or on a grill.

Answer 2

I cook whole chicken in the microwave regularly, and it's no less tender, thoroughly cooked, or tasty than done in a conventional oven. The problem is, as you say, that it tends not to get crispy on the outside.

If you cook it in a sealed casserole-type dish, then it stays a bit soggy, but you get some slightly better results using clear plastic-type roasting bags. You get ones specifically designed for conventional ovens, ones for microwaves, and others that don't seem to specify.

When you tie up the open end of the bag, you use a plastic tie, because one with metal wire in it will spark and catch fire. The clips come with the bags. You are best to put the chicken in the bag onto a dish of some kind so it doesn't roll around, and the instructions usually are to cut a couple of small slices into the top of the bag to allow excess steam to escape. It's the trapped steam in casserole-type dishes that leaves chickens soggy.

I have seen a foil-type of film designed for microwave use that you can wrap around or place on top of food in the microwave to brown it a bit. DON'T use standard kitchen foil, as it will spark and may damage the microwave. the stuff I mean is purpose designed for microwaves, and is a more flexible version of the foil-covered cardboard inside McCains MicroChip and microwaveable fast-food burger things.

I suggest shopping about for these and giving them a go. You may be surprised with the result, but don't expect the skin, gravy/marinade, or anything else to "roast" (actually it's just burning) like it does in an conventional oven.

I wouldn't do that if I were you. Did you not see Flavor of Love? Anyways, I would pop that baby in the oven since chicken roasts fast anyway. I would roast it at 400 for about 30-45 minutes, uncovered, if you want a nice brown color-however, just pour some water on the bottom of the pan halfway through cooking to keep it from drying out and if you want a nice gravy. Good luck!
