I myself really love cooking.In addition to everything, for some time, I have started to try to cook different dishes in the microwave oven. According to experts, food cooked in a microwave is more useful and more tasty. But then I was waiting for the first disappointment, because I did not know how to cook a chicken in a microwave oven.
Who do you think came to my rescue?Mama? Grandmother? No. Hardly they could help me in how to bake a chicken in a microwave oven. In the time of my grandmother, microwave ovens seemed to be just as fantastic as the cosmic monsters from the novels of Kira Bulychev. And my mother is a wonderful needlewoman, but she does not like cooking very much.
So I hammered the phrase "how to cook a chicken in a microwave oven" in Google's search engine and the all-knowing Internet gave me more than five dozen recommendations.
I was afraid to learn everything.So I chose a few tips from the first page of the search engine and began to study them. The simplest, in my opinion, was a recipe with a sleeve for baking. It turns out that if you do not know how to cook a chicken in a microwave oven, then it's better to do it in your sleeve.
To do this, you need to take a whole carcass of chicken,(if you take a live chicken, then you need to clean it of feathers and entrails), and then rub it with a mixture of salt, pepper and garlic (you can take the dried one) and place it in the culinary sleeve. Then, from the sleeve, you need to release air and protect it so that around the chicken carcass there is some airless space. After that, put the chicken in the sleeve on the pallet and send it to the microwave. With a power of 300 W, the bird will be baked for about 30 minutes. After that, the chicken needs to be taken out of the sleeve, and the resulting gravy can be used to water the garnish.
However, at least 30 minutes is not long, but stillthere are times when guests are on the doorstep, and the meat dish is not yet ready. Therefore, further study of the recommendations from Google in the question of how to cook a chicken in a microwave oven boiled down in search of quick recipes. And this I found. You need to put chicken breasts (or you can use fillets) in glassware (or in the dishes intended for a microwave oven), pour a little vegetable oil on the bottom of the dish, add a little salt and send it to the microwave for 5-7 minutes at a furnace power of 900 - 1000 Tues. After that, get the chicken, sprinkle with onions rings and slices of sour apple, pour tomato sauce or low-fat sour cream, and cover it, send it to the microwave for another 5-7 minutes. The chicken in this case will turn out juicy and gentle. By the way, the dish is very suitable for those who watch the figure. If desired, you can sprinkle the finished dish with grated cheese and send it to the microwave for one more minute to make the cheese melt.
Chicken can be made spicy, previouslypickling it in a sauce of ginger and garlic with olive oil. You can marinate it in soy sauce with honey and spices. I even tried to smear a chicken carcass with Japanese mustard wasabi and bake it up my sleeve in the microwave. The chicken turned out to be aromatic, tender and juicy.
My search under the motto "How to cook chicken inmicrowave ”came to an end when I wanted to find a recipe for cooking poultry in the microwave for my child. The answer found pretty quickly. Wash feet or wings (my child loves both). Pre-marinate in lemon-honey sauce (to do this, mix honey, lemon juice, salt and rub meat with this mixture), fold into closed dish (or sleeve) and bake at a furnace capacity of 800 - 900 W for 10-15 minutes. Pull the meat out of the sleeve and serve in a side dish.
Cooking meat in the microwavehas its advantages: no fat and harmful cholesterol, the meat is prepared in its juice. Now with the microwave, I'm on “you”, and my homework is very happy about it.
