Torture on the Internet or how to cook chicken in a microwave oven

I myself really love cooking. On top of that, for some time now, I've started trying to cook different dishes in the microwave. 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.

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 the sleeve.

To do this, take a whole carcass of chicken, thoroughly wash it (if you take a live chicken, you need to clean it of feathers and entrails), and then rub it with a mixture of salt, pepper and garlic (you can take dried) 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 oven the bird will be baked for about 30 minutes. After that, the chicken should be removed from the sleeve, and the resulting gravy can be watered garnish.

However, even 30 minutes - it's not for long, but there are cases when the guests are on the doorstep, and the meat dish is not ready yet. Therefore, further study of recommendations from Google in the question of how to cook a chicken in a microwave oven was limited to finding 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 another minute, so that the cheese melts.

The chicken can be made spicy, pre-marinating it in a sauce of ginger and garlic with the addition of olive oil. You can pick it in soy sauce with honey and spices. I even tried to cover the chicken carcass with Japanese mustard wasabi and bake in the sleeve in the microwave. The chicken turned out to be fragrant, tender and juicy.

My search under the motto "how to cook a chicken in a microwave oven" was coming to an end when I wanted to find a recipe for cooking a bird in a microwave for my child. The answer found quite quickly. Legs or wings (my child likes both) to rinse. Pre-marinate in lemon-honey sauce (mix honey, lemon juice, salt and mix meat with this mixture), put it in a closed dish (or sleeve) and bake for 10-15 minutes at 800-900 Watt. Take the meat out of the sleeve and serve it in a garnish.

The preparation of meat dishes in the microwave oven has its advantages: no fat and bad cholesterol, the meat is cooked in its juice. Now with a microwave I'm on "you", and my family is very happy about it.
