Microwave Chicken Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 2 1/2 lb broil-fryer chicken
1/2 tsp Salt (optional)
1/4 tsp Ground sage
3/4 cup Orange juice
1/2 cup Dry white wine

Recipe Instructions:

Wash chicken well. Remove all skin and visible fat with a sharp knife and
cut into pieces. You should have 2 breast halves, 2 thighs, 2 wings, 2
legs, and the back. Freeze wings, back, and neck for use for making broth
later. Discard the giblets or give them to someone who isn't worried about
cholesterol. Place the remaining pieces in an 8 or 9 inch dish suitable
for use in the microwave. Sprinkle salt and sage evenly over the chicken.
Pour orange juice and wine over chicken pieces. Cover with plastic wrap or
wax paper and cook on high for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to simmer and cook
for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
Serve hot with a little bit of the juice. Serve 1 breast or 1 leg and 1
thigh per serving. Note: If you prefer to use a conventional oven, cover
the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake at 325F for 45min-1hour or
until the chicken is tender. If you prefer, you can remove the foil the
last 15 minutes to allow the chicken to brown a little. 1 serving = 3 lean
meat, 1/2 bread calories = 185

Servings: 4

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?"
