Yes, you can make a whole chicken in the microwave! All you need is a rinsed whole chicken, patted dry with some paper towels, some seasonings, flour, and a little oil. Whatever seasoning or rub you choose, you want it to have at least some paprika in it, because that is what gives your chicken a lovely golden color. Rub the chicken with oil, and then your seasonings mixed with a tablespoon of flour (this also helps with the color).
Place in a microwave-safe deep baking dish (I recommend Pampered Chef's Deep Covered Baker--for this and many other uses, in both the microwave and conventional ovens), and microwave uncovered on high for 30 minutes. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes and enjoy!
The chicken is lovely to look at and is moist, tender, and flavorful. This is a great idea when you need cooked chicken in a hurry.
