I finally took out my DCB yesterday and used it. Could not wait to cook a chicken in the microwave!!!
Well, it didn't go so well. I followed the directions and cooked it for 30 minutes. The chicken was only a 4.5 lbs. Once the 30 minutes was up I put the thermometer in and it read over 180 (and I did stick it in the biggest portion) so I took it out and started cutting, the chicken was still pink. So I put it in for another 15 minutes. Checked it again and again it read over 180. So started cutting again... Getting closer to the bone there was lots of blood. So back in for 10 minutes. After all that time it was finally done but seriously dry!! (and I know it's because it was cut open so all the juices had flowed out)
I am so discouraged to do this again or even at a party...This was what I was going to do at my parties next month to go with the host special of stones. I can't see cooking a chicken for 55 minutes at parties.
Can someone help me with this? What did I do wrong?
