3. How to Microwave Roast Chicken
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Start with a pre-purchased chicken. Clean it by rubbing salt all over to eliminate odor, then rinse with clean water and let it drain. Next, separate the neck and legs. Use a knife to slit down the chicken breast, gradually inserting the knife into the chicken bone to keep it stable and intact in the grilling tray.
Peel and crush garlic, finely chop onions, and grind lemongrass. Slice the chili into small pieces, removing the seeds.
Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Marinade
Combine all the spices, including sugar, Chinese five-spice powder, cooking oil, fish sauce, and oyster sauce in a small bowl. Mix well until the spices dissolve. Then add the prepared garlic, onions, chili, lemongrass on top.
Step 3: Marinate the chicken
Evenly brush the mixed spice blend all over the chicken, from inside out. Then, put on gloves to massage the chicken, ensuring it absorbs the spices thoroughly, and let it marinate for about an hour.
Note: Avoid letting onions and garlic stick to the chicken skin, as they may burn during grilling. Stuff the finely chopped onions and garlic inside the chicken to prevent waste and enhance the aromatic flavor.
After marination, place the chicken on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and use a brush to spread honey evenly over the chicken. Be cautious not to use too much honey, as it may cause the chicken to burn easily.
Step 4: Grill the chicken using a microwave oven
Preheat the microwave oven for about 10 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. Then, place a foil sheet on the tray, put the chicken on it, and grill for approximately 10 minutes.
Preheat the microwave for about 15 minutes at a temperature of approximately 200 degrees Celsius. Then, place a sheet of foil on a tray and place the chicken on it, baking for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, take out the chicken and evenly brush a layer of honey on the outside skin, then continue baking for about 10 minutes to complete.
