3 Easy Ways to Roast Crispy Chicken in the Microwave at Home

Prepare chicken, onion, garlic

Buy pre-prepared chicken, wash the chicken’s stomach, use salt to rub around to eliminate odors. Separate the neck and legs, use a knife to slice vertically down the chicken breast, then continue to use the back of the knife to scrape along the chicken bones so that when grilled, the chicken can lie flat on the tray.

Peel the onion and garlic, crush them and chop them finely. Combine all the seasonings including seasoning powder, five-spice powder, pepper, and oyster sauce in a small bowl and mix well to blend the flavors together.

Grilled chicken with honey in the microwave

Pour the spice mixture all over the chicken (inside and out). Use gloves to rub the spices evenly into the meat, then let the chicken marinate for about 1 hour.

For the minced shallots, you should avoid leaving them stuck on the body and skin of the chicken. Shake the chicken well to let the shallots fall off completely; to avoid waste, you can stuff this part of the shallots into the chicken’s stomach. If you leave shallots on the skin’s surface, they will burn quickly when grilled, giving a burnt smell that makes the grilled chicken less fragrant.

Preheat the microwave to 200 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes. Line a tray with aluminum foil and place the chicken on it neatly. Grill the chicken for about 10 minutes.

Then, take the chicken out and brush another layer of honey around the outside of the chicken, and continue grilling for about 10 more minutes to complete the dish.

Final product

The honey grilled chicken when completed will be very fragrant and special; the outer skin is delicious and will be a dish that stimulates the taste buds of your children at home!

Prepare the chicken

Remove all remaining feathers and rub salt all over the chicken. Rinse and let it drain.

If using whole peppercorns, you need to roast them until fragrant, then grind them into a finer powder. Peel the shallots, crush them, and chop finely.

Marinate the chicken with green pepper

Place the chicken on a pre-prepared grill, with a glass tray underneath to catch the falling spices.

Pour olive oil directly onto the chicken, using your hands to spread the oil evenly over all parts of the skin and inside the belly. Continue to marinate the chicken meat with the seasoning packet or seasoning powder.

Evenly apply the spices over the skin, avoiding uneven spots. Finally, marinate the chicken with the ground pepper. Let the chicken sit on the tray for about 60 minutes to absorb the spices.

Grill the chicken in the microwave

Preheat the microwave for about 15 minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees Celsius before grilling.

Place the marinated chicken tray inside the microwave. While grilling, pay attention to how the chicken skin changes color. If it turns a beautiful golden yellow and becomes crispy, the chicken is cooked. Usually, grilling a whole chicken in the microwave takes about 1 hour.
