When I first bought a microwave, I vowed never to do a roast chicken in it. As a child, I'd be subjected to my parents' experiements with their first microwave and thought, not for me. This is very civilised and low effort.
Microwave roast chicken
Ingredients
- A raw chicken, 1.626kg - the weight is vital to know, 12 minutes per 450g (please see Microwave roaster).
- Half a packet of paxo stuffing
- 1.5 potatoes per person
- Half a courgette
Directions
- Make up the paxo or use fresh stuffing.
- Add 15ml to a glass roasting pan.
- Quarter peeled potatoes and slice the courgette and cover the bottom of the roasting pan.
- Stuff the chicken and lay it upside down on the veggies.
- Set the combination microwave to 190°C and simmer and set timer to half the time for the dish.
- When the timer pings, turn the chicken over and do the rest of the time.
- Serve normally.
Serve with boiled vegetables and chicken gravy.
NB: it is worth parboiling the potatoes (put potatoes in cold water, bring to the boil for 5 minutes) if the timer is less than 55 minutes to ensure the potatoes are cooked). The "roasties" are a little different cooked this way more baked than crispy. Not unpleasant but difinetly not equivalent.
Afterwards, make microwave chicken stock from scratch.
