Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 3 lb Whole chicken
- 1/4 c. Soy sauce
- 1/3 c. Honey
- 1/3 c. Dry sherry
- 1 Tbsp. Cornstarch Microwave cooking bag
Directions
- 1. Into the cooking bag, place soy sauce, honey and sherry. Add in whole chicken to bag and tie securely. Place the bag into a 2-qt oblong glass baking dish. Chill for 2 hrs, turn the bag 2-3 times to allow marinade to reach all surfaces of the chicken.
- 2. When ready to microwave, cut a slit in the bag near the closure. If you are using a temperature probe, insert through the slit into the thickest part of the thigh. Avoid touching the bone.
- 3. Microwave at medium high till temperature reaches 190 degrees, or possibly about 20 min. Temperature varies so check after about 17 min. Remove chicken from microwave.
- 4. Prepare the sauce. Into a 1-qt glass measuring c. stir together 2 Tbsp. water and 1 Tbsp. cornstarch. Cut off one corner of the cooking bag and drain the juices into the measuring c. with the cornstarch and water. Microwave on high power for 2 min, stirring after one minute. Sauce should be thick and clear.
- 5. Chicken should stand in bag for 10 min; remove bag carefully, and place chicken on serving platter. Pour sauce over chicken and serve immediately.
